Re: Piratebox auto installer trouble MR3020

Alright, so I should probably specify that I have been installing Piratebox from windows. I could do it from either Arch or Ubuntu if you think that would make a difference, but I highly doubt it would because I have tried installing regular openwrt from serial and it worked just fine.

And you are correct fciv doesn't support sha256, I should have realized that is why it was not giving me the proper checksum. Anyway I ran the md5 checksum on both the file you provided and the others I downloaded all matched the md5 checksum you provided.

Here are the commands I run to flash over serial:
