Are there some way I can edit the /etc/inittab file, without access to the Arduino Yun via wifi, ethernet and YunSerialTerminal?
I tried to make a proof and edited the file commenting the last line:
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS S boot
::shutdown:/etc/init.d/rcS K shutdown
#ttySPI0::respawn:/bin/ash --login
And now I have no wifi nor ethernet access?
Thanks
Having never used a yun I am not absolutely sure if you could edit that particular file from the failsafe mode. I do, however, think that the following link might be of some help in gaining access to a CLI.
Thanks for your reply
I tried it, but it doesn't works.
I installed in my Yun LininoOS and LininoIO, even though LininoOS is a version of OpenWRT I don't know if I have this option (failsave mode) to reset from U-boot.
I uploaded YunSerialTerminal and press YUN RST and the result is this:

As you can see I never get the option of enter failsave mode.
In other way I tried to reset pressing the WLAN RST for at least 30 second and nothing happened.
Are there another way to revive the Yun?
If it helps, I'm working over the Yun from a laptop with windows 7 x64
Thanks
Okay. Is that all the output you get from the board?
You should still be able to re-install Linino via U-boot by typing "lin" when prompted to interrupt the boot. This would enable you to reload the firmware through the process used to upgrade through U-Boot. This is explained in the "Upgrade to LininoIO" tutorial.
As stated before I have never had the opportunity to use a Yun and so please take my advice with a grain of salt.
Good luck.
SantinoPrice, you were right!!
I thought it wouldn't be possible to do it because of, that the ethernet conection didn't appear in the Arduino IDE. But after see your comment I remembered that for reflashing the (U-boot, kernel and roofs) the files are gotten from a TFTP server, giving the Yun an free IP.
So thank you very much.
Now I have installed the LininoOS, that is a version of openWRT, but I want to reinstall the original version 'openWRT-Yun'.
What would be the best way considering that the (U-boot, kernel and roofs) are versions for LininoOS.
1- WLAN RESET for 30 seconds, and update to the last OpenWRT-Yun image following this link and after that, upgrade the (U-boot, kernel and roofs) for this version following this link
2- Directly update to the last OpenWRT-Yun image following this link and after that, upgrade the (U-boot, kernel and roofs) for this version following this link
Thanks
I am not sure as to what would be best in that situation. Personally i would first replace the U-boot, then kernel and finally reload Openwrt yun.
I am not sure if the instructions here are complete but they should give you a good starting point.
Try to get advice from someone that has actually gone through the procedure. Making a mistake with the uboot can potentially render the board useless.
I think you are right, but as you said, it's better to be sure, so I have opened another post.
