Now it's better a little, but still after hour or two my internet connection stop's working (just my laptop in 2.4) i must reconnect to my AP. I guess it's time to upgrade my ROG's wifi card to AC, but i have two 2.4 antennas so I need to replace them too, which is not easy...
I flashed my Mi router 3G using the instruction on this site. Everything seemed OK (no errors).
When the router is booted the led is orange (not blue like the mi firmware). Is this normal?
I can login using SSH.
When I wanted to install the Web interface I got following error on 'opkg update':
opkg_download: Check your network settings and connectivity.
So this looks like I'm not connected to the internet (utp from other routers' LAN-port is connected on Mi routers' WAN-port)
Output of uci show network

What do I have to do to be able to install the webUI, so I can configure the router?
Really thanks for reply.I have try uart several times,and I conclude that uart does not display anything if you plug UART to USB cable to pc before power on the router,seems like if you plug the uart the device did not boot. so everytime I try,I power on the device first and then plug my UART to USB cable to pc immediately, anyway I'll try again.If anyone have made it,please let me know the exact steps,thanks. @dissent1,does anything else should be done except soldering nor flash onto spi pads? I know a vector should be set for mt7621 to choose which rom to boot from,but I don't know which one or more resistences should be change.
Hi all
I bricked my router and I would like to unblocked it but i.m newbie. I ordered a USB to uart adapter but o would need a newbie tutorial for connecting to the motherboard and the steps to follow for unblocking. Could anybody indicate me a newbie tutorial please? Thanks.
How can I flash the newer build? I was going to follow the same steps as the first time but I'm unable to find out how to mount the usb-drive.
The only message I see with dmesg when plugging in the USB-drive is the following:
[ 136.550824] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci-mtk
After LEDE is flashed to the router just download the latest image from the ramips/mt7621 target (lede-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar) and use Luci to flash the image.
You can use a wired or a powerline connection from your PC.
Luci is not enabled / installed by default - so open a SSH connection via Putty / Terminal | I used following commands:
After several times of trying,I'v made it! So here is my feedback . thanks to @dissent1@r43k3n
If you think it is bothering to register from miwifi.com and do the following steps,then this way may fit you:
Disassemble router and solder 3 wires on UART connector,there are lable on the board and you just need solder the GND,RX,TX pads.
Connect the 3 wires with your usb-ttl cable.(GND-GND RX-TX TX-RX)
Power on the router and then plug your usb-ttl cable on you pc's usb port AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
On your pc,connect your corresponding serial port,and when it display the prompt like:
Please choose the operation:
1: Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP.
2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP.
3: Boot system code via Flash (default).
4: Entr boot command line interface.
7: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via Serial.
9: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via TFTP.
push 4, you should do it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE again.
5: If everything is ok,now you can enter the router's u-boot CLI, and then:
after that,you can login to router's shell ,but you still can not login with ssh,because you don't know the root's password,so you just need do it from your serial screen:
root@XiaoQiang:/root#cd /etc
root@XiaoQiang:/etc# cp shadow shadow.org #just backup the origin password if need
root@XiaoQiang:/etc# passwd #change your own password for root
6:You can login with ssh now! you can do the next things which provided in "Installation instructions provided by @dissent1:"
14: In SSH console
cd /extdisks/sda1 (can be different if you remove and reinsert the usb stick)
mtd write lede-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-kernel1.bin kernel1
mtd write lede-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-rootfs0.bin rootfs0
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=1
nvram commit
reboot
15: LEDE should be installed and available at 192.168.1.1 (with WiFi disabled I assume)
Upgrading to a newer snapshot can be done using the regular methods (from the command-line using sysupgrade or through LuCI) using lede-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be fixed, I have no idea how you are going to reach 832
But you can try making a couple of fake vlans and then the one that you are aiming to. If my mind doesn't betray me I think it worked for me a while ago
Yep, creating a driver-level vlan (using the vid) but i does not work. i've checked if the switch is tagging via swconfig dev switch0 show and the vlan 832 is not live.
@dissent yeah i'm afraid i have to keep on trying the driver level approach.
