Factory reset gained a navigable DumaOS
Same issue. FW 1.0.2.86. Factory reset gained a navigable DumaOS, but the restoration of backup config put me right back in the same boat again of "DumaOS is not running!" I unpacked the cfg file...

Yeah that clearly is the factor at this point. Just sucks because what's the point of the backup if you can't use it across minor firmware updates?

Newer FW version may introduce some new features or incompatibilities with older versions of backup config files. So FR and setup from scratch then generating a new backup file will be needed.
Not sure what your symbols mean.
