Hi friends!

Remember me? It's me, who messed around with Netgear DG834GT a few days ago. Finally, I've Opened it, and now it's time for HH5A (next will be HH2A).

So according to Wiki, I've tried "Installing OpenWRT/LEDE (switching from original BT/Plusnet firmware to LEDE)" with LEDE and OpenWRT (I have no idea why I was using this [community.plus.net/t5/Tech-Help-Software-Hardware-etc/Running-OpenWRT-on-the-Plusnet-Hub-One-amp-BT-Home-Hub-5a/td-p/1302968] instruction).

Anyway, I end up with HH5A with serial. I can go UART boot or "standard" which ends up with "i dono ubi" and "HOMEHUBV5A#".

bootm - boot application image from memory

Usage:
bootm [addr [arg ...]]
    - boot application image stored in memory
\0x09passing arguments 'arg ...'; when booting a Linux kernel,
\0x09'arg' can be the address of an initrd image

Sub-commands to do part of the bootm sequence.  The sub-commands must be
issued in the order below (it's ok to not issue all sub-commands):
\0x09start [addr [arg ...]]
\0x09loados  - load OS image
\0x09ramdisk - relocate initrd, set env initrd_start/initrd_end
\0x09cmdline - OS specific command line processing/setup
\0x09bdt     - OS specific bd_t processing
\0x09prep    - OS specific prep before relocation or go
\0x09go      - start OS

I've tried to load both "lede-lantiq-xrx200-BTHOMEHUBV5A-installimage.bin" and openwrt version with "standard" and obsolete instruction. Both fails.

Tried restore:

root@lede:/# restore /mnt/hh5a.nanddump
Terminated

When installing OpenWRT i get:

libubi: error!: cannot get information about "/dev/ubi0"
        error 2 (No such file or directory)
ubirmvol: error!: error while probing "/dev/ubi0"
          error 2 (No such file or directory)

While installing OpenWRT it tell's me, my image is not proper (got it from github.com/mkresin/BTHH5a-installimage/releases).

Does it make difference if
1. I'm U-Boot from lede-*.asc or openwrt-*.asc
2. openwrt-*asc or from "installed" U-Boot (second one is way faster...)

I've tried many combinations but not sure if all. Any helpful information by now?

Best regards!
