[OpenWrt-Devel] [BUG] NAND sysupgrade broke ubifs on Netgear WNDR3700v4/4300.

[Paul Blazejowski]

i get "The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make
sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform." from
web interface.

this is what i have:

-rw-r--r-- 1 diffie diffie 8919040 2014-06-24 15:58
bin/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-nand-wndr3700v4-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar

should i push it from shell using sysupgrade script?

thanks!
