after a regular firmware update using devolo-cockpit software, my Devolo dLAN 500 Wifi is bricked. The boot-loader still works and tries to download a firmware using tftp to flash it. This works but I don't have a correct firmware file to flash.
Devolo provides firmware as .dvl file https://www.devolo.de/fileadmin/Web-Content/DE/products/hnw/dlan-500-wifi-powerline/firmware/firmware-dlan-500-wifi-v3-2-0.dvl
Flashing this file using tftp does not bring the device back.
The .dvl has this contents:
67 0x43 uImage header, header size: 64 bytes, header CRC: 0xE7B82CB5, created: 2016-12-12 13:58:31, image size:
896258 bytes, Data Address: 0x80002000, Entry Point: 0x801DEB50, data CRC: 0x2F6D8C80, OS: Linux, CPU:
MIPS, image type: OS Kernel Image, compression type: lzma, image name: "Linux Kernel Image"
131 0x83 LZMA compressed data, properties: 0x5D, dictionary size: 33554432 bytes, uncompressed size: 2619348 bytes
983119 0xF004F Squashfs filesystem, little endian, version 4.0, compression:lzma, size: 5436326 bytes, 803 inodes,
blocksize: 65536 bytes, created: 2016-12-12 14:25:36
I think the first 67 bytes are some devolo specific contents. So, I extracted the header, the LZMA and the squashfs with dd by skipping the first 67 bytes. Flashing the result does also not work.
