Re: MR3020 bricked or am I doing something wrong?

I have a similar problem as the folks above and I would appreciate any help!

The good news is that I was able to install OpenWRT and I am able to telnet in safemode. But I am not able to get my system into a pingable state.

The first thing that is amiss is that I don't have mount_root

root@(none):/# mount_root
/sbin/mount_root: line 1: pi_include: not found
/sbin/mount_root: line 1: pi_include: not found
/sbin/mount_root: line 1: set_jffs_mp: not found
/sbin/mount_root: line 1: determine_root_device: not found
switching to jffs2
mount: mounting overlayfs:/overlay on /mnt failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /proc on /overlay/proc failed: No such file or directory
jffs2 not ready yet; using ramdisk
mount: mounting overlayfs:/tmp/root on /mnt failed: Invalid argument
creating directories... done
setting up symlinks... done
pivot_root: No such file or directory
Could not open mtd device: rootfs
Could not open mtd device: rootfs
root@(none):/#

The second thing that's odd is that, by typing passwd I can be in a state in which I can use vi to edit my network settings.

config interface 'lan'
        option ifname 'eth0'
        option type 'bridge'
        option ipaddr '192.168.0.11'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option gateway '192.168.0.1'
        list dns '192.168.0.1'
        list dns '8.8.8.8'

But after I make the changes, I'm not sure how I can make the changes apply. I am still unable to SSH into the device and it will not ping anything.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be most welcome!
All the best,
