Hello Martin! I startet the tests today and it was not possible to reinstall one of the splitted original firmwares to the device (loadb k and loadb r worked fine and even the CRC seems to be right but the bootloader reboots in a loop over and over again... ). Well I do not know why, maybe because I use the Conceptronic version of the DNS323? Is there some kind of firmware lock for this?
