Hi there,

So, it’s OpenWRT based system btw,
The ReSpeaker is booting into an OpenWRT-based rootfs with overlayfs, which means:

  • /rom is the read-only factory image (in squashfs)
  • /overlay contains all changes (config, packages, etc.)
  • A factory reset means clearing /overlay entirely

You tried Firstboot that didn’t work i.e “firstboot && reboot”
Try running this manually:

jffs2reset && reboot

This also clears the overlay on OpenWRT systems.

can you attach a pic of the model you have? Is it this one?

what output do you get whe you run “cat /etc/banner”
This often returns:

OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05...

or similar. That will confirm the OS.

step 4. is the reflash. but you can also doit with (fastboot) or “dd”
Yes, Ignore the errors in the windows app, BalenaEtcher just finish the process
