Lenovo Newifi D2

Under Construction!
This page is currently under construction. You can edit the article to help completing it.

Write a short, relevant description of the device. Include a technical overview, but avoid marketing buzzwords/useless stuff. Two to four sentences is about right. A picture is good, too. Edit the page to see how to add pictures.

Any text with a light background (like this one) provides instructions for creating the Details Page. When you have filled in correct/useful information (instead of any template that's there) remove the instructions, as well as the <WRAP> that encloses it.

Getting started with a new Device Page

This is an empty template that suggests the information that should be present on a well-constructed Device Page. This means, that you have to fill it with life and information.
There are several “fixme” tags with text on a light background (like this text) throughout this template. As you fill in the page, remove those tags so that people can judge its completeness.
When there are no more “fixme” tags left, delete this one too, along with the <WRAP> that encloses it.

Keep the articles modular

Please include only model specific information, omit bla,bla and put everything generic into separate articles
If you have no time to write certain stuff, link to docs
base-system should lead the way, do not explain this again
DO NOT provide a complete howto here! Instead groom the general documentation.

Supported Versions

Hardware Highlights

Installation

Same installation method as as Newifi D1:

Users may need to request unlock code from the device manufacturer. Otherwise, a SPI flash programmer may be necessary to get the firmware flashed.
After the device is unlocked, press and hold reset button before power cable plugs in.
Then go to http://192.168.1.1 to upload and flash the firmware package.

Flash Layout

Find out flash layout, then add the flash layout table here (copy, paste, modify the example).

Please check out the article Flash layout. It contains examples and explanations that describe how to document the flash layout.

OEM easy installation

The instructions below are for Broadcom devices and only serve as an example.
Remove / modify them if they do not apply to this particular device!

This section deals with

How you install OpenWrt from a device freshly opened
The steps required such as reset to factory defaults if the device has already been configured

Note: Reset router to factory defaults if it has been previously configured.

Browse to http://192.168.1.1/Upgrade.asp
Upload .bin file to router
Wait for it to reboot
Telnet to 192.168.1.1 and set a root password, or browse to http://192.168.1.1 if LuCI is installed.

Wait for reboot

Terminal Upgrade Process

If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line. There are two command line methods for upgrading:

sysupgrade
mtd

Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.

sysupgrade

cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc
sysupgrade /tmp/xxx.abc

mtd

If sysupgrade does not support this router, use mtd.

cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc
mtd write /tmp/xxx.abc linux && reboot

Debricking

→ generic.debrick

Failsafe mode

→ failsafe_and_factory_reset
