hi,
I want to dump my Asus WL 500 G premium firmware but I don't find documentation about this.
The firmware in the router is an openwrt-brcm47xx-2.6-squashfs.trx with customs packages and configurations and I want to clone my router in another one.
is it possible ?
There is a manual on WIKI, but it's for fonera and it's doesn't say how to restore those files.
After gaining the SSH access use these commands:
cd /dev/mtdblock
httpd -p 9090Connect to the Fonera through the private network. Now you can download the mtd partiotions using the addresses:

mtd0: "RedBoot"
mtd1: "rootfs"
mtd2: "rootfs1"
mtd3: "config"
mtd4: "vmlinux.bin.l7"
mtd5: "FIS directory"
mtd6: "RedBoot config"
mtd7: "board_config"
You probably need to backup Mtd1, Mdt2, mdt4

dd if=/dev/mtdblock/1 of=/tmp/firmware.trxis it a good solution with an openwrt-brcm47xx-2.6-squashfs.trx firmware without nvran?
so is it possible to dump my image in trx format with bootloader and nvran?
The discussion might have continued from here.
