Since commit 0b62fe5e OpenWrt can be installed using the EVA/Adam2 bootloader. Within the same HW revision 5 of the FRITZ!Box 3370 different NAND flash chips are used and the correct image has to be chosen. Please read the detailed commit message before trying an install.

→ Install OpenWrt

First let's have a quick view at the Flash Layout with the stock firmware and after OpenWrt has been installed. When you later want to understand, what mtd/sysupgrade do, have a second look here:

Overview

→ EVA FTP install/recovery

Once a serial console has been established (see Serial for further details):

1. set your IP to 192.168.178.x (subnet 255.255.255.0)
2. power on FRITZ!Box
3. interrupt boot pressing a key
4. establish an FTP connection to 192.168.178.1
5. issue the following FTP commands:

ftp> quote USER adam2
ftp> quote PASS adam2
ftp> binary
ftp> debug
ftp> passive
ftp> quote SETENV linux_fs_start 0
ftp> quote MEDIA FLSH
ftp> put /path/to/openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-avm_fritz3370-rev2-micron-squashfs-eva-kernel.bin mtd1
ftp> put /path/to/openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-avm_fritz3370-rev2-micron-squashfs-eva-filesystem.bin mtd0

→ generic.sysupgrade

• Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL
• Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI
• Wait for reboot

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.

• Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:

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

If sysupgrade does not support this router, use mtd.

• Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:

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

→ generic.debrick

→ failsafe_and_factory_reset

After flashing, proceed with Basic configuration.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.
