Notes/Known Issues
- When you reboot to a different partition, your current settings (WiFi SSID/password, etc.) will not apply to a different partition. Different partitions might have completely different settings and even firmware.
- If you reboot to a partition which doesn't allow you to switch boot partitions (like stock vendor firmware), you might not be able to boot back to OpenWrt/LEDE Project unless you reflash it, losing all the settings.
- Some devices allow you to trigger reboot to an alternative partition by interrupting boot 3 times in a row (by resetting/switching off the device or pulling power). As these methods might be different for different devices, do your own homework.
Thanks
I'd like to thank everyone who helped create, test and troubleshoot this package. Without help from @hnyman, @jpstyves and many contributions from @slh it wouldn't have been possible.
