Jailbreak Notes:
1. Get shell access.
1.1. Get yourself a wireless router that runs OpenWrt already.
1.2. On the OpenWrt router:
1.2.1. Access its console.
1.2.2. Create and edit
/usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/xqsystem.lua
with the following code (exclude backquotes and line no.):
```
1 module("luci.controller.admin.xqsystem", package.seeall)
2
3 function index()
4 local page = node("api")
5 page.target = firstchild()
6 page.title = ("")
7 page.order = 100
8 page.index = true
9 page = node("api","xqsystem")
10 page.target = firstchild()
11 page.title = ("")
12 page.order = 100
13 page.index = true
14 entry({"api", "xqsystem", "token"}, call("getToken"), (""),
103, 0x08)
15 end
16
17 local LuciHttp = require("luci.http")
18
19 function getToken()
20 local result = {}
21 result["code"] = 0
22 result["token"] = "; nvram set ssh_en=1; nvram commit; sed -i
's/channel=.*/channel=\"debug\"/g' /etc/init.d/dropbear; /etc/init.d/drop
bear start;"
23 LuciHttp.write_json(result)
24 end
```
1.2.3. Browse http://{OWRT_ADDR}/cgi-bin/luci/api/xqsystem/token
It should give you a respond like this:
{"code":0,"token":"; nvram set ssh_en=1; nvram commit; ..."}
If so, continue; Otherwise, check the file, reboot the rout-
er, try again.
1.2.4. Set wireless network interface's IP to 169.254.31.1, turn
off DHCP of wireless interface's zone.
1.2.5. Connect to the router wirelessly, manually set your access
device's IP to 169.254.31.3, make sure
http://169.254.31.1/cgi-bin/luci/api/xqsystem/token
still have a similar result as 1.2.3 shows.
1.3. On the Xiaomi CR660x:
1.3.1. Login to the web interface. Your would be directed to a
page with URL like this:
http://{ROUTER_ADDR}/cgi-bin/luci/;stok={STOK}/web/home#r-
outer
1.3.2. Browse this URL with {STOK} from 1.3.1, {WIFI_NAME}
{PASSWORD} be your OpenWrt router's SSID and password:
http://{MIROUTER_ADDR}/cgi-bin/luci/;stok={STOK}/api/misy-
stem/extendwifi_connect?ssid={WIFI_NAME}&password={PASSWO-
RD}
It should return 0.
1.3.3. Browse this URL with {STOK} from 1.3.1:
http://{MIROUTER_ADDR}/cgi-bin/luci/;stok={STOK}/api/xqsy-
stem/oneclick_get_remote_token?username=xxx&password=xxx&-
nonce=xxx
1.4. Before rebooting, you can now access your CR660x via SSH.
For CR6606, you can calculate your root password by this project:
https://github.com/wfjsw/xiaoqiang-root-password, or at
https://www.oxygen7.cn/miwifi.
The root password for carrier-specific models should be the admi-
nistration password or the default login password on the label.
It is also feasible to change the root password at the same time
by modifying the script from step 1.2.2.
You can treat OpenWrt Router however you like from this point as
long as you don't mind go through this again if you have to expl-
oit it again. If you do have to and left your OpenWrt router unt-
ouched, start from 1.3.
2. There's no official binary firmware available, and if you lose the
content of your flash, no one except Xiaomi can help you.
Dump these partitions in case you need them:
"Bootloader" "Nvram" "Bdata" "crash" "crash_log"
"firmware" "firmware1" "overlay" "obr"
Find the corespond block device from /proc/mtd
Read from read-only block device to avoid misoperation.
It's recommended to use /tmp/syslogbackup/ as destination, since files
would be available at http://{ROUTER_ADDR}/backup/log/YOUR_DUMP
Keep an eye on memory usage though.
3. Since UART access is locked ootb, you should get UART access by modify
uboot env. Otherwise, your router may become bricked.
Excute these in stock firmware shell:
a. nvram set boot_wait=on
b. nvram set bootdelay=3
c. nvram commit
Or in OpenWrt:
a. opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw
b. insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1
c. fw_setenv boot_wait on
d. fw_setenv bootdelay 3
e. rmmod mtd-rw
Migrate to OpenWrt:
1. Transfer squashfs-firmware.bin to the router.
2. nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
3. nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=1
4. nvram commit
5. mtd -r write /path/to/image/squashfs-firmware.bin firmware
Additional Info:
1. CR660x series routers has a different nand layout compared to other
Xiaomi nand devices.
2. This router has a relatively fresh uboot (2018.09) compared to other
Xiaomi devices, and it is capable of booting fit image firmware.
Unfortunately, no successful attempt of booting OpenWrt fit image
were made so far. The cause is still yet to be known. For now, we use
legacy image instead.

Default port configuration in U-boot as well as in stock firmware is
115200-8-N-1.
Installation:
Due to different flash layout from stock firmware, sysupgrade from
within stock firmware is impossible, despite it's based on QSDK which
itself is based on OpenWrt.
STEP 0: Stock firmware update:
As installing OpenWrt cuts you off from official firmware updates for
the modem part, it is recommended to update the stock firmware to latest
version before installation, to have built-in modem at the latest firmware
version.
STEP 1: gaining root shell:
Method 1:
This works if busybox has telnetd compiled in the binary.
If this does not work, try method 2.
Using well-known exploit to start telnetd on your router - works
only if Busybox on stock firmware has telnetd included:
- Open stock firmware web interface
- Navigate to "URL filtering" section by going to "Advanced settings",
then "Firewall" and finally "URL filter".
- Add an entry ending with "&&telnetd&&", for example
"http://hostname/&&telnetd&&".
- telnetd will immediately listen on port 4719.
- After connecting to telnetd use "admin/admin" as credentials.
Method 2:
This works if busybox does not have telnetd compiled in. Notably, this
is the case in DNA.fi firmware.
If this does not work, try method 3.
- Set IP of your computer to 192.168.1.22.
- Have a TFTP server running at that address
- Download MIPS build of busybox including telnetd, for example from:
https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/1.21.1/busybox-mips
and put it in it's root directory. Rename it as "telnetd".
- As previously, login to router's web UI and navigate to "URL
filtering"
- Using "Inspect" feature, extend "maxlength" property of the input
field named "addURLFilter", so it looks like this:
<input type="text" name="addURLFilter" id="addURLFilter" maxlength="332"
class="required form-control">
- Stay on the page - do not navigate anywhere
- Enter "http://aa&zte_debug.sh 192.168.1.22 telnetd" as a filter.
- Save the settings. This will download the telnetd binary over tftp and
execute it. You should be able to log in at port 23, using
"admin/admin" as credentials.
Method 3:
If the above doesn't work, use the serial console - it exposes root shell
directly without need for login. Some stock firmwares, notably one from
finnish DNA operator lack telnetd in their builds.
STEP 2: Backing up original software:
As the stock firmware may be customized by the carrier and is not
officially available in the Internet, IT IS IMPERATIVE to back up the
stock firmware, if you ever plan to returning to stock firmware.
Method 1: after booting OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP:
PLEASE NOTE: YOU CANNOT DO THIS IF USING INTERMEDIATE FIRMWARE FOR INSTALLATION.
- Dump stock firmware located on stock kernel and ubi partitions:
ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd4 > mtd4_kernel.bin
ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd8 > mtd8_ubi.bin
And keep them in a safe place, should a restore be needed in future.
Method 2: using stock firmware:
- Connect an external USB drive formatted with FAT or ext4 to the USB
port.
- The drive will be auto-mounted to /var/usb_disk
- Check the flash layout of the device:
cat /proc/mtd
It should show the following:
mtd0: 00080000 00010000 "uboot"
mtd1: 00020000 00010000 "uboot-env"
mtd2: 00140000 00020000 "fota-flag"
mtd3: 00140000 00020000 "caldata"
mtd4: 00140000 00020000 "mac"
mtd5: 00600000 00020000 "cfg-param"
mtd6: 00140000 00020000 "oops"
mtd7: 00800000 00020000 "web"
mtd8: 00300000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd9: 01f00000 00020000 "rootfs"
mtd10: 01900000 00020000 "data"
mtd11: 03200000 00020000 "fota"
Differences might indicate that this is NOT a vanilla MF286 device but
one of its later derivatives.
- Copy over all MTD partitions, for example by executing the following:
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11; do cat /dev/mtd$i > \
/var/usb_disk/mtd$i; done
- If the count of MTD partitions is different, this might indicate that
this is not a standard MF286 device, but one of its later derivatives.
- (optionally) rename the files according to MTD partition names from
/proc/mtd
- Unmount the filesystem:
umount /var/usb_disk; sync
and then remove the drive.
- Store the files in safe place if you ever plan to return to stock
firmware. This is especially important, because stock firmware for
this device is not available officially, and is usually customized by
the mobile providers.
STEP 3: Booting initramfs image:
Method 1: using serial console (RECOMMENDED):
- Have TFTP server running, exposing the OpenWrt initramfs image, and
set your computer's IP address as 192.168.1.22. This is the default
expected by U-boot. You may wish to change that, and alter later
commands accordingly.
- Connect the serial console if you haven't done so already,
- Interrupt boot sequence by pressing any key in U-boot when prompted
- Use the following commands to boot OpenWrt initramfs through TFTP:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.22
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin
bootm 0x81000000
(Replace server IP and router IP as needed). There is no emergency
TFTP boot sequence triggered by buttons, contrary to MF283+.
- When OpenWrt initramfs finishes booting, proceed to actual
installation.
Method 2: using initramfs image as temporary boot kernel
This exploits the fact, that kernel and rootfs MTD devices are
consecutive on NAND flash, so from within stock image, an initramfs can
be written to this area and booted by U-boot on next reboot, because it
uses "nboot" command which isn't limited by kernel partition size.
- Download the initramfs-kernel.bin image
- Split the image into two parts on 3MB partition size boundary, which
is the size of kernel partition. Pad the output of second file to
eraseblock size:
dd if=openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin \
bs=128k count=24 \
of=openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-kernel.bin
dd if=openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin \
bs=128k skip=24 conv=sync \
of=openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-rootfs.bin
- Copy over /usr/bin/flash_eraseall and /usr/bin/nandwrite utilities to
/tmp. This is CRITICAL for installation, as erasing rootfs will cut
you off from those tools on flash!
- After backing up the previous MTD contents, write the images to the
respective MTD devices:
/tmp/flash_eraseall /dev/<kernel-mtd>
/tmp/nandwrite /dev/<kernel-mtd> \
/var/usb_disk/openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-kernel.bin
/tmp/flash_eraseall /dev/<kernel-mtd>
/tmp/nandwrite /dev/<rootfs-mtd> \
/var/usb_disk/openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-rootfs.bin
- Ensure that no bad blocks were present on the devices while writing.
If they were present, you may need to vary the split between
kernel and rootfs parts, so U-boot reads a valid uImage after skipping
the bad blocks. If it fails, you will be left with method 3 (below).
- If write is OK, reboot the device, it will reboot to OpenWrt
initramfs:
reboot -f
- After rebooting, SSH into the device and use sysupgrade to perform
proper installation.
Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery (LAST RESORT):
- With that method, ensure you have complete backup of system's NAND
flash first. It involves deliberately erasing the kernel.
- Download "-initramfs-kernel.bin" image for the device.
- Prepare the recovery image by prepending 8MB of zeroes to the image,
and name it root_uImage:
dd if=/dev/zero of=padding.bin bs=8M count=1
cat padding.bin openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin >
root_uImage
- Set up a TFTP server at 192.0.0.1/8. Router will use random address
from that range.
- Put the previously generated "root_uImage" into TFTP server root
directory.
- Deliberately erase "kernel" partition" using stock firmware after
taking backup. THIS IS POINT OF NO RETURN.
- Restart the device. U-boot will attempt flashing the recovery
initramfs image, which will let you perform actual installation using
sysupgrade. This might take a considerable time, sometimes the router
doesn't establish Ethernet link properly right after booting. Be
patient.
- After U-boot finishes flashing, the LEDs of switch ports will all
light up. At this moment, perform power-on reset, and wait for OpenWrt
initramfs to finish booting. Then proceed to actual installation.
STEP 4: Actual installation:
- scp the sysupgrade image to the device:
scp openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \
root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
- ssh into the device and execute sysupgrade:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- Wait for router to reboot to full OpenWrt.
STEP 5: WAN connection establishment
Since the router is equipped with LTE modem as its main WAN interface, it
might be useful to connect to the Internet right away after
installation. To do so, please put the following entries in
/etc/config/network, replacing the specific configuration entries with
one needed for your ISP:
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'qmi'
option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0'
option auth '<auth>' # As required, usually 'none'
option pincode '<pin>' # If required by SIM
option apn '<apn>' # As required by ISP
option pdptype '<pdp>' # Typically 'ipv4', or 'ipv4v6' or 'ipv6'
For example, the following works for most polish ISPs
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'qmi'
option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0'
option auth 'none'
option apn 'internet'
option pdptype 'ipv4'
If you have build with LuCI, installing luci-proto-qmi helps with this
task.
Restoring the stock firmware:
Preparation:
If you took your backup using stock firmware, you will need to
reassemble the partitions into images to be restored onto the flash. The
layout might differ from ISP to ISP, this example is based on generic stock
firmware.
The only partitions you really care about are "web", "kernel", and
"rootfs". For easy padding and possibly restoring configuration, you can
concatenate most of them into images written into "ubi" meta-partition
in OpenWrt. To do so, execute something like:
cat mtd5_cfg-param.bin mtd6-oops.bin mtd7-web.bin mtd9-rootfs.bin > \
mtd8-ubi_restore.bin
You can skip the "fota" partition altogether,
it is used only for stock firmware update purposes and can be overwritten
safely anyway. The same is true for "data" partition which on my device
was found to be unused at all. Restoring mtd5_cfg-param.bin will restore
the stock firmware configuration you had before.
Method 1: Using initramfs:
- Boot to initramfs as in step 3:
- Completely detach ubi0 partition using ubidetach /dev/ubi0_0
- Look up the kernel and ubi partitions in /proc/mtd
- Copy over the stock kernel image using scp to /tmp
- Erase kernel and restore stock kernel:
(scp mtd4_kernel.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/)
mtd write <kernel_mtd> mtd4_kernel.bin
rm mtd4_kernel.bin
- Copy over the stock partition backups one-by-one using scp to /tmp, and
restore them individually. Otherwise you might run out of space in
tmpfs:
(scp mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/)
mtd write <ubiconcat0_mtd> mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin
rm mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin
(scp mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/)
mtd write <ubiconcat1_mtd> mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin
rm mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin
- If the write was correct, force a device reboot with
reboot -f
Method 2: Using live OpenWrt system (NOT RECOMMENDED):
- Prepare a USB flash drive contatining MTD backup files
- Ensure you have kmod-usb-storage and filesystem driver installed for
your drive
- Mount your flash drive
mkdir /tmp/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/usb
- Remount your UBI volume at /overlay to R/O
mount -o remount,ro /overlay
- Write back the kernel and ubi partitions from USB drive
cd /tmp/usb
mtd write mtd4_kernel.bin /dev/<kernel_mtd>
mtd write mtd8_ubi.bin /dev/<kernel_ubi>
- If everything went well, force a device reboot with
reboot -f
Last image may be truncated a bit due to lack of space in RAM, but this will happen over "fota"
MTD partition which may be safely erased after reboot anyway.
Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery (LAST RESORT):
- Assemble a recovery rootfs image from backup of stock partitions by
concatenating "web", "kernel", "rootfs" images dumped from the device,
as "root_uImage"
- Use it in place of "root_uImage" recovery initramfs image as in the
TFTP pre-installation method.
Quirks and known issues
- Kernel partition size is increased to 4MB compared to stock 3MB, to
accomodate future kernel updates - at this moment OpenWrt 5.10 kernel
image is at 2.5MB which is dangerously close to the limit. This has no
effect on booting the system - but keep that in mind when reassembling
an image to restore stock firmware.
- uqmi seems to be unable to change APN manually, so please use the one
you used before in stock firmware first. If you need to change it,
please use protocok '3g' to establish connection once, or use the
following command to change APN (and optionally IP type) manually:
echo -ne 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<apn>' > /dev/ttyUSB0
- The only usable LED as a "system LED" is the green debug LED hidden
inside the case. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, on which the
router part has some influence only on Wi-Fi LED.
- Wi-Fi LED currently doesn't work while under OpenWrt, despite having
correct GPIO mapping. All other LEDs are controlled by modem,
including this one in stock firmware. GPIO19, mapped there only acts
as a gate, while the actual signal source seems to be 5GHz Wi-Fi
radio, however it seems it is not the LED exposed by ath10k as
ath10k-phy0.
- GPIO5 used for modem reset is a suicide switch, causing a hardware
reset of whole board, not only the modem. It is attached to
gpio-restart driver, to restart the modem on reboot as well, to ensure
QMI connectivity after reboot, which tends to fail otherwise.
- Modem, as in MF283+, exposes root shell over ADB - while not needed
for OpenWrt operation at all - have fun lurking around.
- MAC address shift for 5GHz Wi-Fi used in stock firmware is
0x320000000000, which is impossible to encode in the device tree, so I
took the liberty of using MAC address increment of 1 for it, to ensure
different BSSID for both Wi-Fi interfaces.

The device itself requires the mtdparts from the uboot arguments to
properly boot the flashed image and to support dual-boot (primary +
recovery image). Unfortunately, the name of the mtd device in mtdparts is
still using the legacy name "ar7240-nor0" which must be supplied using the
Linux-specfic DT parameter linux,mtd-name to overwrite the generic name
"spi0.0".
Flashing instructions:
======================
Various methods can be used to install the actual image on the flash.
Two easy ones are:
ap51-flash
----------
The tool ap51-flash (https://github.com/ap51-flash/ap51-flash) should be
used to transfer the image to the u-boot when the device boots up.
initramfs from TFTP
-------------------
The serial console must be used to access the u-boot shell during bootup.
It can then be used to first boot up the initramfs image from a TFTP server

- RAM: 128 MB
- Flash: 128 MB NAND
- Ethernet: 5x 1GiE MT7530
- WiFi: MT7603/MT7613
- USB: 1x USB 3.0
This is another MT7621 device, very similar to other Linksys EA7300
series devices.
Installation:
Upload the generated factory.bin image via the stock web firmware
updater.
Reverting to factory firmware:
Like other EA7300 devices, this device has an A/B router configuration
to prevent bricking. Hard-resetting this device three (3) times will
put the device in failsafe (default) mode. At this point, flash the
OEM image to itself and reboot. This puts the router back into the 'B'
image and allows for a firmware upgrade.
Troubleshooting:
If the firmware will not boot, first restore the factory as described
above. This will then allow the factory.bin update to be applied
properly.

On lantiq a lot of stuff expects to be loaded to and executed at
0x80002000, including our own second stage bootloader.
For all build u-boots, the initial stack pointer is at 0x80008000. After
loading data to 0x80002000, every further stack operation corrupts the
loaded code.
Set the initial stack pointer to 0x80002000, to not overwrite code
loaded in memory. A stack of 0x2000 bytes has been proven as enough in
all done tests.

On danube we only have 0x6800 bytes of usable SRAM. Everything behind
can't be written to and a SPL u-boot locks up during boot.
Since it's a hard to debug issue and took me more than two years to fix
it, I consider it worth to include fix albeit SPL u-boots are not build
in OpenWrt.
I faced the issue while trying to shrink the u-boot to 64K since some
boards only have an u-boot partition of that size from the days
ifx-uboot was used.

With gcc10 the variables are placed more tightly to each other, which
uncovers a long existing bug in the lantiq DMA code. It can be observed
when using tftpboot with the filename parameter, which gets reset during
the tftpboot execution.
NetRxPackets[] points to cache line size aligned addresses. In
ltq_eth_rx_packet_align() the address NetRxPackets[] points to is
increased by LTQ_ETH_IP_ALIGN and the resulting not cache aligned
address is used further on. While doing so, the length/size is never
updated.
The "not cache aligned address" + len/size for a cache aligned address
is passed to invalidate_dcache_range(). Hence, invalidate_dcache_range()
invalidates the next 32 bit as well, which flashes the BootFile variable
as well.
variable BootFile is at address: 0x83ffe12c
NetRxPackets[] points to 0x83ffdb20 (len is 0x600)
data points to: 0x83ffdb22 (len is 0x600)
ltq_dma_dcache_inv: 0x83ffdb22 (for len 0x600)
invalidate_dcache_range: 0x83ffdb20 to 0x83ffe120 (size: 32)
invalidate_dcache_range: 0x83ffdb20 to 0x83ffdb40 (Bootfile: a.bin)
...
invalidate_dcache_range: 0x83ffe100 to 0x83ffe120 (Bootfile: a.bin)
invalidate_dcache_range: 0x83ffe120 to 0x83ffe140 (Bootfile: )
In ltq_dma_tx_map() and ltq_dma_rx_map() the start address passed to
ltq_dma_dcache_wb_inv() is incorrect. By considering the offset, the
start address passed to flush_dcache_range() is always aligned to 32, 64
or 128 bytes dependent on configured DMA burst size.

At least since gcc 7.3.0 (OpenWrt 18.06) lwr/lwl are used in the
assembly of LzmaProps_Decode. While the decission made by the compiler
looks perfect fine, it triggers some obscure hang on lantiq danube-s
v1.5 with MX29LV640EB NOR flash chips.
Only if the offset 1 is used, the hang can be observed. Using any other
offset works fine:
lwl s0,0(a1) - s0 == 0x6d000080
lwl s0,1(a1) - hangs
lwl s0,2(a1) - s0 == 0x0080xxxx
lwl s0,3(a1) - s0 == 0x80xxxxxx
It isn't clear whether it is a limitation of the flash chip, the EBU or
something else.
Force 8bit reads to prevent gcc optimizing the read with lwr/lwl
instructions.

The differences are:
- Numbers of antennas (4 instead of 2). The antenna management
is done via the µC. There is no configuration needed in the
software code.
- LAN port assignments are different. LAN1 and WAN are
interchanged.

Installation:
Copy dtb from build_dir to bin/ and run tftpserver there:
$ cp ./build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a72_musl/linux-mvebu_cortexa72/image-armada-7040-mochabin.dtb bin/targets/mvebu/cortexa72/
$ in.tftpd -L -s bin/targets/mvebu/cortexa72/
Connect to the device UART via microUSB port and power on the device.
Power on the device and hit any key to stop the autoboot.
Set serverip (host IP) and ipaddr (any free IP address on the same subnet), e.g:
$ setenv serverip 192.168.1.10 # Host
$ setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.15 # Device
Set the ethernet device (Example for the 1G WAN):
$ setenv ethact mvpp2-2
Ping server to confirm network is working:
$ ping $serverip
Using mvpp2-2 device
host 192.168.1.15 is alive
Tftpboot the firmware:
$ tftpboot $kernel_addr_r openwrt-mvebu-cortexa72-globalscale_mochabin-initramfs-kernel.bin
$ tftpboot $fdt_addr_r image-armada-7040-mochabin.dtb
Boot the image:
$ booti $kernel_addr_r - $fdt_addr_r
Once the initramfs is booted, transfer openwrt-mvebu-cortexa72-globalscale_mochabin-squashfs-sdcard.img.gz
to /tmp dir on the device.
Gunzip and dd the image:
$ gunzip /tmp/openwrt-mvebu-cortexa72-globalscale_mochabin-squashfs-sdcard.img.gz
$ dd if=/tmp/openwrt-mvebu-cortexa72-globalscale_mochabin-squashfs-sdcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 && sync
Reboot the device.
Hit any key to stop the autoboot.
Reset U-boot env and set the bootcmd:
$ env default -a
$ setenv bootcmd 'load mmc 0 ${loadaddr} boot.scr && source ${loadaddr}'
Optionally I would advise to edit the console env variable to remove earlycon as that
causes the kernel to never use the driver for the serial console.
Earlycon should be used only for debugging before the kernel can configure the console
and will otherwise cause various issues with the console.
$ setenv console 'console=ttyS0,115200'
Save and reset
$ saveenv
$ reset
OpenWrt should boot from eMMC now.

Installation
------------
OEM upgrade method:
(Possible on master once https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openwrt/patch/20210624210408.19248-1-bjorn@mork.no/ is merged)
* Log in to OEM management web interface
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Management
* If "Active Image" has the first option selected, OpenWrt will need to be
flashed to the "Active" partition. If the second option is selected,
OpenWrt will need to be flashed to the "Backup" partition.
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Upload
* Upload the openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-initramfs-kernel.bin
file by your preferred method to the previously determined partition.
When prompted, select to boot from the newly flashed image, and reboot the switch.
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
it may be necessary to restart the network (/etc/init.d/network restart) on
the running initramfs image.
U-Boot TFTP method:
* Configure your client with a static 192.168.1.x IP (e.g. 192.168.1.10).
* Set up a TFTP server on your client and make it serve the initramfs image.
* Connect serial, power up the switch, interrupt U-boot by hitting the
space bar, and enable the network:
> rtk network on
* Since the GS1900-24HPv2 is a dual-partition device, you want to keep the OEM
firmware on the backup partition for the time being. OpenWrt can only boot
from the first partition anyway (hardcoded in the DTS). To make sure we are
manipulating the first partition, issue the following commands:
> setsys bootpartition 0
> savesys
* Download the image onto the device and boot from it:
> tftpboot 0x84f00000 192.168.1.10:openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
it may be necessary to restart the network (/etc/init.d/network restart) on
the running initramfs image.

Known issues
Some USB 2.0 devices work at full speed mode 1.1 only
MAC addresses
factory partition only contains one (binary) MAC address in 0x4.
u-boot-env contains four (ascii) MAC addresses, of which two appear
to be valid.
factory 0x4 **:**:**:**:b9:84 binary
u-boot-env ethaddr **:**:**:**:b9:84 ascii
u-boot-env wanaddr **:**:**:**:b9:85 ascii
u-boot-env wlanaddr 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:12 ascii
u-boot-env iNICaddr 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:22 ascii
The factory firmware only assigns ethaddr. Thus, we take the
binary value which we can use directly in DTS.

This device is very similar to the EA7300 v1/v2, EA7500 v2, and EA8100 v1.
Installation:
Upload the generated factory image through the factory web interface.
(following part taken from EA7300 v2 commit message:)
This might fail due to the A/B nature of this device. When flashing, OEM
firmware writes over the non-booted partition. If booted from 'A',
flashing over 'B' won't work. To get around this, you should flash the
OEM image over itself. This will then boot the router from 'B' and
allow you to flash OpenWRT without problems.
Reverting to factory firmware:
Hard-reset the router three times to force it to boot from 'B.' This is
where the stock firmware resides. To remove any traces of OpenWRT from
your router simply flash the OEM image at this point.

(Branded by Spectrum/Charter as RAC2V1K)

Port settings are 115200n8
More information: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/askey-rac2v1k-support/15830https://deviwiki.com/wiki/Askey_RAC2V1K
To check what revision your router is, restore one of these config backups
through the stock firmware to get ssh access then run
"cat /proc/device-tree/model".
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/askey-rac2v1k-support/15830/17
The revision number on the board doesn't seem to be very consistent so that's
why this is needed. You can also run printenv in the uboot console and if
machid is set to 177d, that means your router is rev6.
Note: Don't install this if the router is being rented from an ISP. The defined
partition layout is different from the OEM one and even if you changed the
layout to match, backing up and restoring the OEM firmware breaks /overlay so
nothing will save and the router will likely enter a bootloop.
How to install:
Method 1: Install without opening the case using SSH and tftp
You'll need:
RAC2V1K-SSH.zip:
https://github.com/lmore377/openwrt-rt4230w/blob/master/RAC2V1K-SSH.zip
initramfs and sysupgrade images
Connect to one of the router's LAN ports
Download the RAC2V1K-SSH.zip file and restore the config file that
corresponds to your router's firmware (If you're firmware is newer than what's
in the zip file, just restore the 1.1.16 file)
After a reboot, you should be able to ssh into the router with username:
"4230w" and password: "linuxbox" or "admin". Run the following commannds
fw_setenv ipaddr 10.42.0.10 #IP of router, can be anything as long as
it's in the same subnet as the server
fw_setenv serverip 10.42.0.1# #IP of tftp server that's set up in next
steps
fw_setenv bootdelay 8
fw_setenv bootcmd "tftpboot initramfs.bin; bootm; bootipq"
Don't reboot the router yet.
Install and set up a tftp server on your computer
Set a static ip on the ethernet interface of your computer (use this for
serverip in the above commands)
Rename the initramfs image to initramfs.bin, and host it with the tftp
server
Reboot the router. If you set up everything right, the router led should
switch over to a slow blue glow which means openwrt is booted. If for some
reason the file doesn't get loaded into ram properly, it should still boot to
the OEM firmware.
After openwrt boots, ssh into it and run these commands:
fw_setenv bootcmd "setenv mtdids nand0=nand0 && setenv mtdparts
mtdparts=nand0:0x1A000000@0x2400000(firmware) && ubi part firmware && ubi
read 0x44000000 kernel 0x6e0000 && bootm"
fw_setenv bootdelay 2
After openwrt boots up, figure out a way to get the sysupgrade file onto it
(scp, custom build with usb kernel module included, wget, etc.) then flash it
with sysupgrade. After it finishes flashing, it should reboot, the light should
start flashing blue, then when the light starts "breathing" blue that means
openwrt is booted.
Method 2: Install with serial access (Do this if something fails and you can't
boot after using method 1)
You'll need:
initramfs and sysupgrade images
Serial access:
https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/askey/askey_rt4230w_rev6#opening_the_case
Install and set up a tftp server
Set a static ip on the ethernet interface of your computer
Download the initramfs image, rename it to initramfs.bin, and host it with
the tftp server

After openwrt boots up, figure out a way to get the sysupgrade file onto it
(scp, custom build with usb kernel module included, wget, etc.) then flash it
with sysupgrade. After it finishes flashing, it should reboot, the light should
start flashing blue, then when the light starts "breathing" blue that means
openwrt is booted.

This device is very similar to the EA7300 v1/v2 and EA7500 v2.
Installation:
Upload the generated factory image through the factory web interface.
(following part taken from EA7300 v2 commit message:)
This might fail due to the A/B nature of this device. When flashing, OEM
firmware writes over the non-booted partition. If booted from 'A',
flashing over 'B' won't work. To get around this, you should flash the
OEM image over itself. This will then boot the router from 'B' and
allow you to flash OpenWRT without problems.
Reverting to factory firmware:
Hard-reset the router three times to force it to boot from 'B.' This is
where the stock firmware resides. To remove any traces of OpenWRT from
your router simply flash the OEM image at this point.

nearly identical, except the Extender lacks a USB port and has a single
Ethernet port.
Specification:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT (2C/4T) @ 880MHz
- RAM: 128MB DDR3 (Nanya NT5CC64M16GP-DI)
- FLASH: 128MB NAND (Winbond W29N01GVSIAA)

- UART: through-hole on PCB.
J1: pin1 (square pad, towards rear)=3.3V, pin2=RX,
pin3=GND, pin4=TX. Settings: 57600/8N1.
Note regarding dual system partitions
-------------------------------------
The vendor firmware and boot loader use a dual partition scheme. The boot
partition is decided by the bootImage U-boot environment variable: 0 for
the 1st partition, 1 for the 2nd.
OpenWrt does not support this scheme and will always use the first OS
partition. It will set bootImage to 0 during installation, making sure
the first partition is selected by the boot loader.
Also, because we can't be sure which partition is active to begin with, a
2-step flash process is used. We first flash an initramfs image, then
follow with a regular sysupgrade.
Installation:
Router (ALLY-R1900K)
1) Install the flashable initramfs image via the OEM web-interface.
(Alternatively, you can use the TFTP recovery method below.)
You can use WiFi or Ethernet.
The direct URL is: http://192.168.3.1/07_06_00_firmware.html
a. No login is needed, and you'll be in their setup wizard.
b. You might get a warning about not being connected to the Internet.
c. Towards the bottom of the page will be a section entitled "Or
Manually Upgrade Firmware from a File:" where you can manually choose
and upload a firmware file.
d: Click "Choose File", select the OpenWRT "initramfs" image and click
"Upload."
2) The Router will flash the OpenWrt initramfs image and reboot. After
booting, LuCI will be available on 192.168.1.1.
3) Log into LuCI as root; there is no password.
4) Optional (but recommended) is to backup the OEM firmware before
continuing; see process below.
5) Complete the Installation by flashing a full OpenWRT image. Note:
you may use the sysupgrade command line tool in lieu of the UI if
you prefer.
a. Choose System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.
b. Click "Flash Image..." under "Flash new firmware image"
c. Click "Browse..." and then select the sysupgrade file.
d. Click Upload to upload the sysupgrade file.
e. Important: uncheck "Keep settings and retain the current
configuration" for this initial installation.
f. Click "Continue" to flash the firmware.
g. The device will reboot and OpenWRT is installed.
Extender (ALLY-00X19K)
1) This device requires a TFTP recovery procedure to do an initial load
of OpenWRT. Start by configuring a computer as a TFTP client:
a. Install a TFTP client (server not necessary)
b. Configure an Ethernet interface to 192.168.1.x/24; don't use .1 or .6
c. Connect the Ethernet to the sole Ethernet port on the X19K.
2) Put the ALLY Extender in TFTP recovery mode.
a. Do this by pressing and holding the reset button on the bottom while
connecting the power.
b. As soon as the LED lights up green (roughly 2-3 seconds), release
the button.
3) Start the TFTP transfer of the Initramfs image from your setup machine.
For example, from Linux:
tftp -v -m binary 192.168.1.6 69 -c put initramfs.bin
4) The Extender will flash the OpenWrt initramfs image and reboot. After
booting, LuCI will be available on 192.168.1.1.
5) Log into LuCI as root; there is no password.
6) Optional (but recommended) is to backup the OEM firmware before
continuing; see process below.
7) Complete the Installation by flashing a full OpenWRT image. Note: you
may use the sysupgrade command line tool in lieu of the UI if you prefer.
a. Choose System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.
b. Click "Flash Image..." under "Flash new firmware image"
c. Click "Browse..." and then select the sysupgrade file.
d. Click Upload to upload the sysupgrade file.
e. Important: uncheck "Keep settings and retain the current
configuration" for this initial installation.
f. Click "Continue" to flash the firmware.
g. The device will reboot and OpenWRT is installed.
Backup the OEM Firmware:
-----------------------
There isn't any downloadable firmware for the ALLY devices on the Amped
Wireless web site. Reverting back to the OEM firmware is not possible
unless we have a backup of the original OEM firmware.
The OEM firmware may be stored on either /dev/mtd3 ("firmware") or
/dev/mtd6 ("oem"). We can't be sure which was overwritten with the
initramfs image, so backup both partitions to be safe.
1) Once logged into LuCI, navigate to System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.
2) Under "Save mtdblock contents," first select "firmware" and click
"Save mtdblock" to download the image.
3) Repeat the process, but select "oem" from the pull-down menu.
Revert to the OEM Firmware:
--------------------------
* U-boot TFTP:
Follow the TFTP recovery steps for the Extender, and use the
backup image.
* OpenWrt "Flash Firmware" interface:
Upload the backup image and select "Force update"
before continuing.

The Serial settings are 115200-8-N-1.
Installation via Stock Web Interface:
BTW: The default factory console/web interface login user/password are
admin/password.
In the web interface navigating to Management - Maintenance - Upgrade -
'Firmware Upgrade' will show you what is currently installed e.g.:
Manage Firmware
Current Firmware Version: V5.0.10.2
Backup Firmware Version: V1.2.5.11
Under 'Upgrade Options' choose Local (alternatively SFTP would be
available) then click/select 'Browse File' on the right side, choose
openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-squashfs-nand-factory.tar
and hit the Upgrade button below. After a minute or two your browser
should indicate completion printing 'Firmware update complete.' and
'Rebooting AP...'.
Note that OpenWrt will use the WAN PoE port as actual WAN port
defaulting to DHCP client but NOT allowing LuCI access, use LAN port
defaulting to 192.168.1.1/24 to access LuCI.
Installation via TFTP Requiring Serial U-Boot Access:
Connect to the device's serial port and hit any key to stop autoboot.
Upload and boot the initramfs based OpenWrt image as follows:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv serverip 192.168.1.1
(IPQ40xx) # setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.2
(IPQ40xx) # tftpboot openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb
(IPQ40xx) # bootm
Note: This only runs OpenWrt from RAM and has not installed anything
to flash as of yet. One may permanently install OpenWrt as follows:
Check the MTD device number of the active partition:
root@OpenWrt:/# dmesg | grep 'set to be root filesystem'
[ 1.010084] mtd: device 9 (rootfs) set to be root filesystem
Upload the factory image ending with .ubi to /tmp (e.g. using scp or
tftp). Then flash the image as follows (substituting the 9 in mtd9
below with whatever number reported above):
root@OpenWrt:/# ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi
And reboot.
Dual Image Configuration:
The default U-Boot boot command bootipq uses the U-Boot environment
variables primary/secondary to decide which image to boot. E.g.
primary=0, secondary=3800000 uses rootfs while primary=3800000,
secondary=0 uses rootfs_1.
Switching their values changes the active partition. E.g. from within
U-Boot:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv primary 0
(IPQ40xx) # setenv secondary 3800000
(IPQ40xx) # saveenv
Or from a OpenWrt userspace serial/SSH console:
fw_setenv primary 0
fw_setenv secondary 3800000
Note that if you install two copies of OpenWrt then each will have its
independent configuration not like when switching partitions on the
stock firmware.
BTW: The kernel log shows which boot partition is active:
[ 2.439050] ubi0: attached mtd9 (name "rootfs", size 56 MiB)
vs.
[ 2.978785] ubi0: attached mtd10 (name "rootfs_1", size 56 MiB)
Note: After 3 failed boot attempts it automatically switches partition.

"LZMA is used in mkimage.c
disabling it prints
Without liblzma (no support for XZ-compressed mips images) (explicitly disabled)

liblzma is autodetected so this issue was present but hidden somehow
[unsure: grep/image generation does not use grub with that option]

When building GRUB with binutils 2.35.2 or later, an error occurs due to
a section .note.gnu.property that is placed at an offset such that
objcopy needs to pad the img file with zeros. This in turn causes the
following error: "error: Decompressor is too big.".
The fix accepted by upstream patches a python script that isn't executed
at all when building GRUB with OpenWrt buildroot. There's another patch
that patches the files generated by that python script directly, but by
including it we would deviate further from upstream. Instead of doing
that, simply bump to the latest release candidate.

A bluetooth TTL adapter is recommended for permanent console

WARNING!!
ISP managed firmware might at any time update itself to a version
where all known workarounds have been disabled. Never boot an ISP
managed firmware with a SIM in any of the slots if you intend to use
the router with OpenWrt. The bootloader lock can only be disabled with
root access to running firmware. The flash chip is physically
inaccessible without soldering.
Installation from OEM web GUI:
- Log in as "supervisor" on https://172.17.1.1/
- Upload OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image on the
Maintenance -> Firmware page
- Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1
- (optional) Copy OpenWrt to the recovery partition. See below
- Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image and reboot
Installation from OEM ssh:
- Log in as "root" on 172.17.1.1 port 22022
- scp OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image to 172.17.1.1:/tmp
- Prepare bootloader config by running:
nvram setro uboot DebugFlag 0x1
nvram setro uboot CheckBypass 0
nvram commit
- Run "mtd_write -w write initramfs-recovery.bin Kernel" and reboot
- Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1
- (optional) Copy OpenWrt to the recovery partition. See below
- Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image and reboot
Copying OpenWrt to the recovery partition:
- Verify that you are running a working OpenWrt recovery image
from flash
- ssh to root@192.168.1.1 and run:
fw_setenv CheckBypass 0
mtd -r erase Kernel2
- Wait while the bootloader mirrors Image1 to Image2
NOTE: This should only be done after successfully booting the OpenWrt
recovery image from the primary partition during installation. Do
not do this after having sysupgraded OpenWrt! Reinstalling the
recovery image on normal upgrades is not required or recommended.
Installation from Z-Loader:
- Halt boot by pressing Escape on console
- Set up a tftp server to serve the OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin
image at 10.10.10.3
- Type "ATNR 1,initramfs-recovery.bin" at the "ZLB>" prompt
- Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1
- Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image
NOTE: ATNR will write the recovery image to both primary and recovery
partitions in one go.
Booting from RAM:
- Halt boot by pressing Escape on console
- Type "ATGU" at the "ZLB>" prompt to enter the U-Boot menu
- Press "4" to select "4: Entr boot command line interface."
- Set up a tftp server to serve the OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin
image at 10.10.10.3
- Load it using "tftpboot 0x88000000 initramfs-recovery.bin"
- Boot with "bootm 0x8800017C" to skip the 380 (0x17C) bytes ZyXEL
header
This method can also be used to RAM boot OEM firmware. The warning
regarding OEM applies! Never boot an unknown OEM firmware, or any OEM
firmware with a SIM in any slot.
NOTE: U-Boot configuration is incomplete (on some devices?). You may
have to configure a working mac address before running tftp using
"setenv eth0addr <mac>"
Unlocking the bootloader:
If you are unebale to halt boot, then the bootloader is locked.
The OEM firmware locks the bootloader on every boot by setting
DebugFlag to 0. Setting it to 1 is therefore only temporary
when OEM firmware is installed.
- Run "nvram setro uboot DebugFlag 0x1; nvram commit" in OEM firmware
- Run "fw_setenv DebugFlag 0x1" in OpenWrt
NOTE:
OpenWrt does this automatically on first boot if necessary
NOTE2:
Setting the flag to 0x1 avoids the reset to 0 in known OEM
versions, but this might change.
WARNING:
Writing anything to flash while the bootloader is locked is
considered extremely risky. Errors might cause a permanent
brick!
Enabling management access from LAN:
Temporary workaround to allow installing OpenWrt if OEM firmware
has disabled LAN management:
- Connect to console
- Log in as "root"
- Run "iptables -I INPUT -i br0 -j ACCEPT"
Notes on the OEM/bootloader dual partition scheme
The dual partition scheme on this device uses Image2 as a recovery
image only. The device will always boot from Image1, but the
bootloader might copy Image2 to Image1 under specific conditions. This
scheme prevents repurposing of the space occupied by Image2 in any
useful way.
Validation of primary and recovery images is controlled by the
variables CheckBypass, Image1Stable, and Image1Try.
The bootloader sets CheckBypass to 0 and reboots if Image1 fails
validation.
If CheckBypass is 0 and Image1 is invalid then Image2 is copied to
Image1.
If CheckBypass is 0 and Image2 is invalid, then Image1 is copied to
Image2.
If CheckBypass is 1 then all tests are skipped and Image1 is booted
unconditionally. CheckBypass is set to 1 after each successful
validation of Image1.
Image1Try is incremented if Image1Stable is 0, and Image2 is copied to
Image1 if Image1Try is 3 or larger. But the bootloader only tests
Image1Try if CheckBypass is 0, which is impossible unless the booted
image sets it to 0 before failing.
The system is therefore not resilient against runtime errors like
failure to mount the rootfs, unless the kernel image sets CheckBypass
to 0 before failing. This is not yet implemented in OpenWrt.
Setting Image1Stable to 1 prevents the bootloader from updating
Image1Try on every boot, saving unnecessary writes to the environment
partition.
Keeping an OpenWrt initramfs recovery as Image2 is recommended
primarily to avoid unwanted OEM firmware boots on failure. Ref the
warning above. It enables console-less recovery in case of some
failures to boot from Image1.

The ZyXEL GS1900-8 is a 8 port switch without any PoE functionality or
SFP ports, but otherwise similar to the other GS1900 switches.
Specifications
--------------
* Device: ZyXEL GS1900-8 v1.2
* SoC: Realtek RTL8380M 500 MHz MIPS 4KEc
* Flash: Macronix MX25L12835F 16 MiB
* RAM: Nanya NT5TU128M8GE-AC 128 MiB DDR2 SDRAM
* Ethernet: 8x 10/100/1000 Mbit
* LEDs: 1 PWR LED (green, not configurable)
1 SYS LED (green, configurable)
8 ethernet port status LEDs (green, SoC controlled)
* Buttons: 1 on-off glide switch at the back (not configurable)
1 reset button at the right side, behind the air-vent
(not configurable)
1 reset button on front panel (configurable)
* Power 12V 1A barrel connector
* UART: 1 serial header (JP2) with populated standard pin connector on
the left side of the PCB, towards the back. Pins are labelled:
+ VCC (3.3V)
+ TX (really RX)
+ RX (really TX)
+ GND
the labelling is done from the usb2serial connector's point of
view, so RX/ TX are mixed up.
Serial connection parameters for both devices: 115200 8N1.
Installation
------------
Instructions are identical to those for the GS1900-10HP and GS1900-8HP.
* Configure your client with a static 192.168.1.x IP (e.g. 192.168.1.10).
* Set up a TFTP server on your client and make it serve the initramfs
image.
* Connect serial, power up the switch, interrupt U-boot by hitting the
space bar, and enable the network:
> rtk network on
* Since the GS1900-10HP is a dual-partition device, you want to keep the
OEM firmware on the backup partition for the time being. OpenWrt can
only boot off the first partition anyway (hardcoded in the DTS). To
make sure we are manipulating the first partition, issue the following
commands:
> setsys bootpartition 0
> savesys
* Download the image onto the device and boot from it:
> tftpboot 0x84f00000 192.168.1.10:openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-8-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-generic-zyxel_gs1900-8-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Build U-Boot for the Linksys E8450 in order to have support for UBI.
The loader has a default environment with scripts handling the reset

up without a valid environment found in UBI, it will automatically
make sure UBI is formatted and create a new environment and proceed
to load recovery firmware (either from UBI or via TFTP if recovery is
corrupted or unavailable).
If the button is held down during power-on, the yellow status LED
turns on and the bootloader environment is reset to factory defaults.
If the button is released at this point, the recovery firmware (if
existing) is loaded from UBI and booted.
If the button is continously held down even beyond the point that
the yellow LED turned on, the loader will try to load the recovery
firmware via TFTP from server 192.168.1.254, write it to UBI and

ZTE MF283+ is a dual-antenna LTE category 4 router, based on Ralink
RT3352 SoC, and built-in ZTE P685M PCIe MiniCard LTE modem.
Hardware highlighs:
- CPU: MIPS24KEc at 400MHz,
- RAM: 64MB DDR2,
- Flash: 16MB SPI,
- Ethernet: 4 10/100M port switch with VLAN support,
- Wireless: Dual-stream 802.11n (RT2860), with two internal antennas,
- WWAN: Built-in ZTE P685M modem, with two internal antennas and two
switching SMA connectors for external antennas,
- FXS: Single ATA, with two connectors marked PHONE1 and PHONE2,
internally wired in parallel by 0-Ohm resistors, handled entirely by
internal WWAN modem.
- USB: internal miniPCIe slot for modem,
unpopulated USB A connector on PCB.
- SIM slot for the WWAN modem.
- UART connector for the console (unpopulated) at 3.3V,
pinout: 1: VCC, 2: TXD, 3: RXD, 4: GND,
settings: 57600-8-N-1.
- LEDs: Power (fixed), WLAN, WWAN (RGB),
phone (bicolor, controlled by modem), Signal,
4 link/act LEDs for LAN1-4.
- Buttons: WPS, reset.
Installation:
As the modem is, for most of the time, provided by carriers, there is no
possibility to flash through web interface, only built-in FOTA update
and TFTP recovery are supported.
There are two installation methods:
(1) Using serial console and initramfs-kernel - recommended, as it
allows you to back up original firmware, or
(2) Using TFTP recovery - does not require disassembly.
(1) Using serial console:
To install OpenWrt, one needs to disassemble the
router and flash it via TFTP by using serial console:
- Locate unpopulated 4-pin header on the top of the board, near buttons.
- Connect UART adapter to the connector. Use 3.3V voltage level only,
omit VCC connection. Pin 1 (VCC) is marked by square pad.
- Put your initramfs-kernel image in TFTP server directory.
- Power-up the device.
- Press "1" to load initramfs image to RAM.
- Enter IP address chosen for the device (defaults to 192.168.0.1).
- Enter TFTP server IP address (defaults to 192.168.0.22).
- Enter image filename as put inside TFTP server - something short,
like firmware.bin is recommended.
- Hit enter to load the image. U-boot will store above values in
persistent environment for next installation.
- If you ever might want to return to vendor firmware,
BACK UP CONTENTS OF YOUR FLASH NOW.
For this router, commonly used by mobile networks,
plain vendor images are not officially available.
To do so, copy contents of each /dev/mtd[0-3], "firmware" - mtd3 being the
most important, and copy them over network to your PC. But in case
anything goes wrong, PLEASE do back up ALL OF THEM.
- From under OpenWrt just booted, load the sysupgrade image to tmpfs,
and execute sysupgrade.
(2) Using TFTP recovery
- Set your host IP to 192.168.0.22 - for example using:
sudo ip addr add 192.168.0.22/24 dev <interface>
- Set up a TFTP server on your machine
- Put the sysupgrade image in TFTP server root named as 'root_uImage'
(no quotes), for example using tftpd:
cp openwrt-ramips-rt305x-zte_mf283plus-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin /srv/tftp/root_uImage
- Power on the router holding BOTH Reset and WPS buttons held for around
5 seconds, until after WWAN and Signal LEDs blink.
- Wait for OpenWrt to start booting up, this should take around a
minute.
Return to original firmware:
Here, again there are two possibilities are possible, just like for
installation:
(1) Using initramfs-kernel image and serial console
(2) Using TFTP recovery
(1) Using initramfs-kernel image and serial console
- Boot OpenWrt initramfs-kernel image via TFTP the same as for
installation.
- Copy over the backed up "firmware.bin" image of "mtd3" to /tmp/
- Use "mtd write /tmp/firmware.bin /dev/mtd3", where firmware.bin is
your backup taken before OpenWrt installation, and /dev/mtd3 is the
"firmware" partition.
(2) Using TFTP recovery
- Follow the same steps as for installation, but replacing 'root_uImage'
with firmware backup you took during installation, or by vendor
firmware obtained elsewhere.
A few quirks of the device, noted from my instance:
- Wired and wireless MAC addresses written in flash are the same,
despite being in separate locations.
- Power LED is hardwired to 3.3V, so there is no status LED per se, and
WLAN LED is controlled by WLAN driver, so I had to hijack 3G/4G LED
for status - original firmware also does this in bootup.
- FXS subsystem and its LED is controlled by the
modem, so it work independently of OpenWrt.
Tested to work even before OpenWrt booted.
I managed to open up modem's shell via ADB,
and found from its kernel logs, that FXS and its LED is indeed controlled
by modem.
- While finding LEDs, I had no GPL source drop from ZTE, so I had to probe for
each and every one of them manually, so this might not be complete -
it looks like bicolor LED is used for FXS, possibly to support
dual-ported variant in other device sharing the PCB.
- Flash performance is very low, despite enabling 50MHz clock and fast
read command, due to using 4k sectors throughout the target. I decided
to keep it at the moment, to avoid breaking existing devices - I
identified one potentially affected, should this be limited to under
4MB of Flash. The difference between sysupgrade durations is whopping
3min vs 8min, so this is worth pursuing.
In vendor firmware, WWAN LED behaviour is as follows, citing the manual:
- red - no registration,
- green - 3G,
- blue - 4G.
Blinking indicates activity, so netdev trigger mapped from wwan0 to blue:wwan
looks reasonable at the moment, for full replacement, a script similar to
"rssileds" would need to be developed.
Behaviour of "Signal LED" in vendor firmware is as follows:
- Off - no signal,
- Blinking - poor coverage
- Solid - good coverage.
A few more details on the built-in LTE modem:
Modem is not fully supported upstream in Linux - only two CDC ports
(DIAG and one for QMI) probe. I sent patches upstream to add required device
IDs for full support.
The mapping of USB functions is as follows:
- CDC (QCDM) - dedicated to comunicating with proprietary Qualcomm tools.
- CDC (PCUI) - not supported by upstream 'option' driver yet. Patch
submitted upstream.
- CDC (Modem) - Exactly the same as above
- QMI - A patch is sent upstream to add device ID, with that in place,
uqmi did connect successfully, once I selected correct PDP context
type for my SIM (IPv4-only, not default IPv4v6).
- ADB - self-explanatory, one can access the ADB shell with a device ID
added to 51-android.rules like so:
SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="android_usb_rules_end"
LABEL="android_usb_rules_begin"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="19d2", ATTR{idProduct}=="1275", ENV{adb_user}="yes"
ENV{adb_user}=="yes", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess"
LABEL="android_usb_rules_end"
While not really needed in OpenWrt, it might come useful if one decides to
move the modem to their PC to hack it further, insides seem to be pretty
interesting. ADB also works well from within OpenWrt without that. O
course it isn't needed for normal operation, so I left it out of
DEVICE_PACKAGES.

FCC ID: A8J-EAP1200H
Engenius EAP1200H is an indoor wireless access point with
1 Gb ethernet port, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, and 802.3at PoE+
**Specification:**
- QCA9557 SOC
- QCA9882 WLAN PCI card, 5 GHz, 2x2, 26dBm
- AR8035-A PHY RGMII GbE with PoE+ IN
- 40 MHz clock
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 2x 64 MB RAM NT5TU32M16FG
- UART at J10 populated
- 4 internal antenna plates (5 dbi, omni-directional)
- 5 LEDs, 1 button (power, eth0, 2G, 5G, WPS) (reset)
**MAC addresses:**
MAC addresses are labeled as ETH, 2.4G, and 5GHz
Only one Vendor MAC address in flash
eth0 ETH *:a2 art 0x0
phy1 2.4G *:a3 ---
phy0 5GHz *:a4 ---
**Serial Access:**
the RX line on the board for UART is shorted to ground by resistor R176
therefore it must be removed to use the console
but it is not necessary to remove to view boot log
optionally, R175 can be replaced with a solder bridge short
the resistors R175 and R176 are next to the UART RX pin at J10
**Installation:**
2 ways to flash factory.bin from OEM:
Method 1: Firmware upgrade page:
OEM webpage at 192.168.1.1
username and password "admin"
Navigate to "Firmware Upgrade" page from left pane
Click Browse and select the factory.bin image
Upload and verify checksum
Click Continue to confirm and wait 3 minutes
Method 2: Serial to load Failsafe webpage:
After connecting to serial console and rebooting...
Interrupt uboot with any key pressed rapidly
execute `run failsafe_boot` OR `bootm 0x9fd70000`
wait a minute
connect to ethernet and navigate to
"192.168.1.1/index.htm"
Select the factory.bin image and upload
wait about 3 minutes
**Return to OEM:**
If you have a serial cable, see Serial Failsafe instructions
otherwise, uboot-env can be used to make uboot load the failsafe image
*DISCLAIMER*
The Failsafe image is unique to Engenius boards.
If the failsafe image is missing or damaged this will brick the device
DO NOT downgrade to ar71xx this way, it can cause kernel loop or halt
ssh into openwrt and run
`fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
reboot, wait 3 minutes
connect to ethernet and navigate to 192.168.1.1/index.htm
select OEM firmware image from Engenius and click upgrade
**TFTP recovery:**
Requires serial console, reset button does nothing
rename initramfs to 'vmlinux-art-ramdisk'
make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101
power board, interrupt boot
execute tftpboot and bootm 0x81000000
NOTE: TFTP is not reliable due to bugged bootloader
set MTU to 600 and try many times
**Format of OEM firmware image:**
The OEM software of EAP1200H is a heavily modified version
of Openwrt Kamikaze. One of the many modifications
is to the sysupgrade program. Image verification is performed
simply by the successful ungzip and untar of the supplied file
and name check and header verification of the resulting contents.
To form a factory.bin that is accepted by OEM Openwrt build,
the kernel and rootfs must have specific names...
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-eap1200h-uImage-lzma.bin
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-eap1200h-root.squashfs
and begin with the respective headers (uImage, squashfs).
Then the files must be tarballed and gzipped.
The resulting binary is actually a tar.gz file in disguise.
This can be verified by using binwalk on the OEM firmware images,
ungzipping then untaring.
Newer EnGenius software requires more checks but their script
includes a way to skip them, otherwise the tar must include
a text file with the version and md5sums in a deprecated format.
The OEM upgrade script is at /etc/fwupgrade.sh.
OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
expects the kernel to be no greater than 1536k
and the factory.bin upgrade procedure would otherwise
overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs.
Note on PLL-data cells:
The default PLL register values will not work
because of the external AR8035 switch between
the SOC and the ethernet port.
For QCA955x series, the PLL registers for eth0 and eth1
can be see in the DTSI as 0x28 and 0x48 respectively.
Therefore the PLL registers can be read from uboot
for each link speed after attempting tftpboot
or another network action using that link speed
with `md 0x18050028 1` and `md 0x18050048 1`.
The clock delay required for RGMII can be applied
at the PHY side, using the at803x driver `phy-mode`.
Therefore the PLL registers for GMAC0
do not need the bits for delay on the MAC side.
This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
since Linux 5.1 and 5.3
