Bought a brand new wink hub....used the app to set it up, and was able to talk to my zwave DZPA1 with no problem..
but ..I've got a little Linux experience, (not alot but setup OpenHab on a ubuntu machine to play with), and a very curious mind..so I thought 'rooting a wink' would be good fun and I'd learn something..
I read up a bit and soon found that the the 'curl methods' don't work on the new WH. I watched the youtube video on the '"UART GND point to the 29th pin on the NAND" (I found the link on xda). And figured "hey I can do that!"..So I got myself a UART cable & heated up the soldering iron!! I learned that minicom on a MAC is really alot like telix from days of my youth
...Also learned my hands shake abit & my sense of timing is a bit off...I got pin 29 to ground, but at the wrong time.....
Here's what I get:
Code: Select all
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:

1f01 4096 mtdblock1 (driver?)

And she freezes..
I read a TON of cloneNum3 posts (as in this entire forum...and thank you for the effort!) and here's what I've learned & done so far:
I have root via the UART.
I know this because: I get the "==>" prompt. At that time I enter:
Code: Select all
setenv bootargs 'noinitrd console=ttyAM0,115200 rootfstype=ubifs ubi.mtd=2 root=ubi0:rootfs rw gpmi init=/bin/sh'
nand read ${loadaddr} app-kernel 0x00400000 && bootm ${loadaddr}Then I get the root prompt "#"
I tried to get the updater to do its magic, but
Code: Select all
/root/platform/upgrade.shdoesn't run properly, I get:
Code: Select all
/ # /root/platform/upgrade.sh
+ echo 'Press enter to cancel update...'
Press enter to cancel update...
+ read -t2 stdin

/ # Which I think is telling me that I don't have networking running..plus ping 52.4.183.25 yields
Code: Select all
PING 52.4.183.25 (52.4.183.25): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable So this leaves me with 2 questions:
1) How do I start networking? As close as I can get is
Code: Select all
insmod /root/wifi/dhd.ko firmware_path="/root/wifi/fw_prod.bin" nvram_path="/root/wifi/nvram.conf" iface_name=wlan0 dhd_sdiod_drive_strength=8Which gives
Code: Select all
DHD: dongle ram size is set to 524288(orig 524288) at 0x0
dhd_bus_init: enable 0x06, ready 0x06 (waited 0us)
dhd_wlfc_init(): successfully enabled bdcv2 tlv signaling, 79
wlan0: Broadcom Dongle Host Driver
Dongle Host Driver, version 1.88.64 (r447771) And still no ping..And that bothersome "set_rgb: command not found"...I think that's a big clue as to whats going on, but I don't know..I've grabbed all the /root/wifi/<scripts> so I could readup on how networking starts, but I'm missing something & now I'm stuck
2) My general plan is to get networking started & let it update the all the partitions. If I leave the UART on, I can get root again, then follow cloneNum3's posts..no biggie & I don't mind practicing
My last question (for now) is this:Does this hub have the potential to work again?...or did I learn something else this week?
Thanks for reading!
