# ASUS RT-AX53U Firmware Disassembly
|
|
|
|
Disassembly of the ASUS RT-AX53U Firmware. See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for release notes as per upstream changes.
|
|
|
|
## Process
|
|
|
|
The official firmware was downloaded, then extracted using `binwalk`. The complete squashfs-root was uploaded to this git-repository, with the commit timestamps as per the firmware timestamp.
|
|
|
|
The GitHub releases contain the TRX files, for verification purposes.
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
### Firmware Download
|
|
|
|
Downloaded manually from [ASUS DL][dl] to the `fw` directory, and renamed to the tiniest version number (3.0.0.4.386_69061 is saved as `fw/69061.trx`).
|
|
|
|
### Firmware Extraction
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd fw;binwalk -e *.trx;cd ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Release Creation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
for i in fw/*.trx; do \
|
|
echo "$i" && \
|
|
TAG=$(basename $i .trx) && \
|
|
gh release create "3.0.0.4.386.$TAG" --generate-notes "$i#3.0.0.4.386.$TAG.trx" \
|
|
;done
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Commit Creation

|
|
for i in fw/*.trx; do \
|
|
echo "$i" && TAG=$(basename $i .trx) && \
|

cp -rf fw/_$TAG.trx.extracted/squashfs-root/* . --no-dereference -p && \
|
|
git add . && \
|
|
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$(stat --format=%y $i)" git commit --date "$(stat --format=%y $i)" -m "ASUS RT-AX53U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.$TAG" && \
|
|
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$(stat --format=%y $i)" git tag -a -m "3.0.0.4.386.$TAG" "3.0.0.4.386.$TAG"; \
