Minuses:
• Chinese andonly chinesenow English, to get the language, change the wifi region to Europe and upgrade the firmware;
• No support for USB modems;
• There is no normal L2TP support from Beeline (thank God, the Beeline changed its mind and in some regions allowed to connect without a tunnel);
• No IGMP support (IPTV);
• Strongly loads the processor.

2. OpenWRT (PandoraBox)
Pros:
• Flexible and with patience it can be completed by installing additional packages.
Minuses:
• Requires SSH access, and some configuration.

3. XRMWRT (Padavan)
Pros:
• Works great and is easily customizable;
• Excellent speed and stability;
• Everything comes immediately in the kit;
• The presence of skins;
• The standard firmware package includes a lot of programs;
• High security;
• Initially in Russian.
Minuses:
• Does not extend in open access, demands independent assembly;
• Requires access to SSH;
• The system section is read only.

How to get access via SSH and flash the router

The latest version of the instructions

How to bind a router to an account with access via L2TP

If your provider provides the Internet through an L2TP connection, you will have to connect a router through the old one, for this, connect them to the LAN-LAN. The router will be available as an access point, you will only need to find its IP address, for this scan the network with an old router or via a PC.

How to upload any file to the device

"Plan A" From any network share, download with the console command:

wget (full link to firmware) -P / tmp

"Plan b" Can use WinSCP (in SCP mode) in order to push the required file into the tmp folder: protocol - SCP, host - 192.168.31.1, port - 22, name - root, password - your password you received along with the SSH file.

How to flash any firmware

1. Determine where to write the firmware with the command:

cat / proc / mtd

2. Remember what the console gives you: it can be "firmware", "OS1" or "Firmware_Stub";
3. Flash the firmware lying along the path /tmp/your_proshivka.bin with the command:

mtd -r write / tmp / (your_program) (section_name)

Where(section_name) - section ("firmware", "OS1" or "FirmwareStub" depending on your device);
(your_proshivka) - the name of the firmware file.

Please note that on the XRMWRT firmware, the command and section will be different:

mtd_write -r write / tmp / (your firmware) Firmware_Stub

Back up partitions

To display sections we write:

cat / proc / mtd

Kernel + RootFS backup is not needed. Firmware_Stub is the sum of the Kernel + RootFS partitions. Ie the firmware image is entirely there, the entry point to RootFS is calculated automatically from the offset in the header image.
If the backup folder was created on the HDD, the approximate path to save will be / media / AiDisk_a1 / backup Note, the path depends on the firmware.
In turn, save:

cp / dev / mtd0 / media / AiDisk_a1 / backup
cp / dev / mtd1 / media / AiDisk_a1 / backup
cp / dev / mtd2 / media / AiDisk_a1 / backup
cp / dev / mtd5 / media / AiDisk_a1 / backup
cp / dev / mtd6 / media / AiDisk_a1 / backup

(alternative way to drain)
After the procedure, it is desirable to transfer everything to the computer, and restore it if necessary (note that the openwrt command will notmtd_write , but mtd ):

mtd_write write /media/AiDisk_a1/backup/mtd0.bin Bootloader
mtd_write write /media/AiDisk_a1/backup/mtd1.bin Config
mtd_write write /media/AiDisk_a1/backup/mtd2.bin Factory
mtd_write write /media/AiDisk_a1/backup/mtd5.bin Storage
mtd_write write /media/AiDisk_a1/backup/mtd6.bin Firmware_Stub

Information unit in binary numbering system GOST 8.417-2002 GSI

bit²(bit) - amount of information ¹ (usually used to denote the connection speed and the amount of information transmitted);
byte^2,3 - amount of information ¹ equal to8bit (usually used to denote the amount of data on the media).

1) The term “amount of information” is used in devices for digital processing and transmission of information, for example in digital computing (computers), to record the amount of storage devices, the amount of memory used by a computer program.
2) In accordance with the international standard IEC 60027-2, the “bit” and “byte” units are used with SI prefixes.
3) Historically, there is such a situation that the name “byte” is incorrect (instead of 1000 = 10³accepted 1024 = 2¹⁰) used (and use) SI prefixes: 1 Kbyte = 1024 bytes, 1 MB = 1024 Kbytes, 1 Gbytes = 1024 Mbytes, etc. At the same time, the designation Kbytes start with a capital letter unlike the lowercase letter “k” to designate a multiplier ten³.

Firmware description

Padavan

Attention!When building, installing and configuring, consider the following:
• The Chinese have messed up with gainbecause of what RSSI for WI-FI 5 GHz is incorrectly displayedcured, but the patch is recommended to roll, because the jamb with the gain has not gone away, the patch increases the sensitivity of the reception at the routertyk.

Prometheus script and firmware distribution terms :
пїЅ You can not distribute ready-made assembly devices for companies other than ASUS;
• You can not use the script to build the firmware with proprietary modules;
• It is strictly forbidden to distribute mods, patches and parts of the code that interfere with the above conditions.

Reason for editing: lock bypass on routers with Padavan firmware and Keenetic OS

[Trackscream]

So, everything is in order. Repositories are slightly different. I deleted the uboot sorts, if someone gets the uboot config for the machine, I will return it. Also, the NTFS driver from Paragon is removed from the firmware since the license does not allow its use, you can enable the standard ntfs-3g driver instead (it is disabled by default). The repository will be synchronized with Padawan, but I do not pretend to be daily. At least once a week, this is quite enough.
Repo link.
Link to instructions.

For those who are too lazy to read the thread:distribution of ready-made images is prohibited.Otherwise, the project will be minimized.

By default, the wireless networks are password-protected in the firmware, the password is "1234567890" without quotes!
Login and password to access the web interface: admin / admin
The following firmware version has been tested:
First install PandoraBox according to the instructions in the topic header. Then in Pandora, through the system update page, flush the assembled file. More detailed instructions will come later.

If shared folders do not work

P.S. For those who do not connect the shared folder in the virtual machine: in the settings on the "Network" tab, change the connection type to "Bridge", start the virtual machine and install ssh

sudo aptitude install ssh

After that, you can connect to the virtual machine through WinSCP. To find the address of the car type

sudo ifconfig eth0

the address will be indicated after the inet addr clause.

Attention! The instruction is outdated, look for fresh in the cap. Virtualok updates will not be!

XRMWRT per hour */ Or how to do it yourself, instructionin 3 volumeson one sheet...

This manual is for thosewho is not goingPadavan firmware. It contains, prepared by me, the image of a virtual machine. You need only step by step to follow my instructions. Please note that the text carries a minimum of information in order not to clog your brain with excess and not to frighten those who are going to do it the first time. Although I tried to warn you against all known errors, remember that you act at your own risk, although it is minimal.
Information will be updated, and the virtual image will be updated. If you have any questions or something goes wrong write me inQMSor ask a question in this thread.

Pros:

• No need to install the distribution first, then the necessary packages;
  
• All in one archive and everything works;
  
• Graphics distributions make life easy for beginners.

Minuses:

• Does not allow to feel the process from and to and learn the basics.

Volume I Collect

1.Download one ofarchivesand unzip to C: \ Users \ your user \ VirtualBox VMs or to another place you like, the path is standard (I will update the files if possible);
2.Open Oracle VM VirtualBox (if not, then downloadhere);
3.Next Machine - Add ..., specify the path to the folder that was previously unarchived; in the properties of the machine, check whether its characteristics are suitable for your PC, if they are specified in an amount exceeding your capabilities, lower the number of cores or RAM;
4.Run the machine, enter the password if asked4815162342(yes this is from the LOST series, login for Debian miniforeman);
5.Open the terminal and the browser, the start page of which is this post, this will allow you to copy commands.
6.Enter the following:
a).Go to the root source directory;

cd xrmwrt

b).Return all source files to the virgin state (done only during rerun):

git checkout.

at).Sync:

git pull

d).Go to the directory with the config:

cd trunk

d).We clear garbage from the previous assembly (done only during rerun):

./clear_tree

e).Open the config editor:

nano .config

g)Change the path to the source:

CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_DIR = / home / foreman / xrmwrt / toolchain-mipsel

(Why foreman? And because I had to rebuild a break under another, not my own, nickname.)
Edit the config as you like, heretranscript. To enable / disable components, use the comment symbol #
h)We press Ctrl + o, Enter, Ctrl + x
and).Getting started:

./build_firmware

Note:be patient, depending on the configuration of your machine, this can take from 10 to 30 minutes.

to). When prompted for a password, enter: "4815162342" (note that the password is not displayed when you enter). The assembly will lie along the way / home / foreman / xrmwrt / trunk / images / and have an extension .trx You can send it to your email through a browser or upload it to a network folder.
Please note that if a PC with a virtual machine is connected to our router, there is no need to pull out the firmware from the virtual machine.

REMINDER, DISTRIBUTION OF READY ASSEMBLY PUBLICLY ON THE INTERNET IS POSSIBLEANALY EQUILIBRISTIC COURSE BEFORE FULL HEALTH OF A PATIENTDEATH!

Note: you can significantly increase the speed of the assembly if you configure a virtual machine, for example, add cores: settings ->system ->processor, number of system cores minus 1.

Volume II Prepare

1. Create an account mi account. registration on the site account.xiaomi.com takes a little time and is possible both by phone number and by email ( is preferable );
2. Associate a router with a Xiaomi account, for example, through a mobile application Xiaomi MiWiFiRUS , for this, the router must be connected to the Internet and the phone to the router;
3. Upgrade to the latest developer version (stable firmware version does not support SSH). Download on page friendly chinese resource (firmware should be taken from the section "mini-"), or use official site (download the firmware "ROM for Mini", respectively);
4. Go to page http://d.miwifi.com/rom/ssh , specifying your account Xiaomi to which they tied the router;
5. Download the file miwifi_ssh.bin and remember the password for Root, write a file to a USB flash drive, preferably a small amount, formatted in FAT32 ;
6. Turn off the router, plug the USB flash drive into the USB port of the router, hold RESET on the router, turn it on, wait for the indicator to flash orange, release the RESET, wait for the indicator to turn blue;

Instructions for firmware through a virtual machine, when the router is in the local network

7. Go to the directory with the firmware file:

cd images

8. We throw the firmware on the router:

scp MI-MINI_3.4.3.9 - ***. trx [email protected]: / tmp /

Enter the password from the SSH router, obtained from the site. Characters are not displayed. Should output:

MI-MINI_3.4.3.9 - ***. Trx 100% 8906KB 1.2MB / s 00:07

8.1. Connects via SSH to the device:

ssh [email protected]

8.2. Here again we enter the password from the site.
Now go to the next volume.

Instructions if the router is located outside the local network of the virtual machine

6. Download and install an SSH client for example Putty ;
7. We start and enter the IP of your device (by default 192.168.31.1), the login and password received on the site are entered after connecting (note that the password is not displayed when entering).
8. ATTENTION the most difficult, we download the firmware:
"Plan A" From any network share, download with the console command:

wget (full link to your firmware) -P / tmp

Note: Almost everyone has a smartphone or tablet, most of them on Android. You can download the popular ES Explorer through Play market , then go to the application, on the right, select "Remote access" to enable. An FTP server will appear. Well, then just specify the address in the console instead of (full link to your firmware) as follows: ftp: //192.168.***.***/<name file.format>where *** depend on the IP address of your phone or tablet. Special thanks to TiCross for his comment.
Now go to the next volume.

"Plan b" Can use WinSCP (in SCP mode) in order to push the required file into the tmp folder: protocol - SCP, host - 192.168.31.1, port - 22, name - root, password - your password you received along with the SSH file.
Now go to the next volume.

"Plan C" If you are already preinstalled Pandorabox just update through the GUI, in which case the last volume can be dropped.

Volume III Stitch

1. You can find out the structure of sections with the command:

cat / proc / mtd

2. We are looking for the firmware or OS1 section;
3. Use the appropriate command depending on the found directory or try at random.
For the version of the stock firmware 0.7.x andabove :

mtd -r write /tmp/MI-MINI_3.4.3.9-***.trx OS1

For version firmware version 0.6.x andbelow :

mtd -r write /tmp/MI-MINI_3.4.3.9-***.trx firmware

Note: The router will be available (after reboot) at 192.168.1.1, login - admin, password - admin; The WiFi network is ASUS, the default password is 1234567890.

Appendix A Possible Errors

• When installing a virtual machine through virtualbox, an error appears:
  vt-x is disabled in the bios
  or
  vt-x is disabled in the bios verr_vmx_msr_vmxon_disabled
  This suggests that the support of virtualization technology is not included in Bios. To enable it, go to the BIOS and look for the menu item. Intel Virtualization tehnology (or similar) Located in the management section of the CPU settings.
  
• When starting the machine, an error occurs:
  
  Could not load module R3 C: \ Program Files \ VirtualBox / VBoxDD.DLL (VBoxDD): GetLastError = 1790 (VERR_UNRESOLVED_ERROR).
  
  There are two solutions:
  1. Installing VirtualBox 4.3.12;
  2. Most likely your system file uxtheme.dll is changed, it causes a conflict. Try to roll it back to stock.
  
• Can't flash filemiwifi_ssh.bin Try to format the USB flash drive in FAT32.
  
• Not flashing firmware. Xiaomi likes to change the name of sections, check their list:
  
  cat / proc / mtd

Appendix B References

XRMWRT at 5 GHz/ Patch eeprom

The Chinese nakosyachili in EEPROM, because of what on the firmware XRMWRT was incorrect display RSSI. In the version starting with build 096 this is fixed, but there is a problem with the level of signal reception from peripheral devices due to incorrect gain setting. To fix the need the following patch:

1. DownloadPUTTYandWinSCP;
2. Go to the admin panel of the router: Advanced =>Administration =>Services =>Terminal Services =>"Enable Telnet Server?" "Enable SSH server?", Turn on and use;
3. Go to PUTTY and connect to the router via IP: 192.168.1.1 via Telnet protocol, after logging in, he will ask for the login and password, enter admin and the password that is from the admin (Please note when entering the password characters are not displayed);
4. Dump mtd2 to a binary file:

cp / dev / mtd2 /tmp/mtd2.bin

5. Run WinSCP in order to remove or push the required file into the tmp folder: protocol - SCP, host - 192.168.1.1, port - 22, login and password as above, download the file created earlier to the computer;
6. Be sure to make a backup somewhere in case something goes wrong and you can return everything back;
7. Patches mtd2 through a specially created server for youhttp://mi.freize.org(we leave the second way, there is not much difference, but people say that this is better), or if it doesn’t work:

Manual method

Method 1

7.1. Take the factoryEEPROM5GHz (to download click on the Raw button) and open itHxD Hex Editor;
7.2. Copy the lines, replacing mtd2 in the dump, where the first line of EEPROM5GHz will be 0x8000 in mtd2 and so on, and offset values ​​from 0x8004 to 0x8009 (this is your MAC), 0x803A (RF Offset), 0x809E and 0x809F, we return those that you have to replace

Method 2

7.1. Open mtd2 inHxD Hex Editor;
7.2. Offsets 0x45, 0x49, 0x4D (relative to 0x8000) are replaced by the value 00;

8. Transfer the mtd2 file back to the router and sew it up:

mtd_write write /tmp/mtd2.bin Factory

9. Overload the router:

reboot

10. Check the Wi-Fi point.

8. Copy the strings alternately replacing in the mtd2 dump

IMHO very hemorrhoids, and you can nakosyachit. It is easier to copy and replace the entire EEPROM, and then use your hands to drive in the MAC and RF Offset.
And thanks, I don’t have to say it to me, but to Padavan, the developer of the firmware; he wrote it on the trunk what to do.
Well, I went further with the experiments :) and askedubootfrom Asus-a, collectedStepa_ua, for which he thanks a lot. Now you can restore the firmware using the ASUS Firmware Restoration, checked, works.

Do not do this if you have no idea why you need it! There is a chance to distort your router.

The procedure is similar to flashing mtd2, only you need to treat it very carefully.
1. Take the loaderfrom here. Unzip, sew in a compressed form - a corpse. Rename it to mtd0.bin
2. Make a dump of the native loader

cp / dev / mtd0 /tmp/mtd0.bin

3. Run WinSCP to remove the factory one and shove the asus loader into the tmp folder.
4. Stitch

mtd_write write /tmp/mtd0.bin Bootloader

5. Just in case, under item 2 you can read the recorded bootloader and compare it with what we crammed.
6. Overload the router

reboot

Actually for what it is done. Now, using the ASUS Firmware Restoration utility, you can send any firmware to the router, at least from a samovar :)
We press the reset button, turn on the router. We wait until the LED blinks red, release the button. Launch ASUS Firmware Restoration, specify the program path to the firmware and click "download". Further the utility will report.

In my opinion, a dubious possibility - the original firmware in bin, not trx. If you leave the stock, you can return the router to its original state with usb media without a PC under Win with all the consequences.

Do I force someone to flash the asus loader? On the contrary, I say, do not do it if you have no idea why you need it :)
Besides, if at the time of the flashing the light blinks, then the khan ...

But I put the firmware in TMP .trx and it was normally sewn, I think that changing the bin to trx is not a problem

I beg you, do not waste time and do not look for a black cat in a dark room. She is not there. Forget about Optware, the bug lies somewhere in the Wireless mt76x2_ap driver.

Firstly, in order to clarify and not confuse, I will explain to others - you are using not just the “access point on the 5 GHz channel 11ac”. You use AP-Client, these are two very different entities.

Kernel panic occurs on local traffic, on TCP packets flying from the apclii0 interface to the TCP kernel stack (tcp_input). In the usual use of the router + access point, such things do not occur, either the transit L3 traffic goes through ra0, or the transparent bridge at the L2 level, packets do not even get into the TCP kernel stack.

In short, a bug occurs if the router in AP mode is connected by the AP-Client side to another point and you are trying to pump packets between the router's host and the AP-Client interface. Havecrass1968This is the situation, only it has a transmission running on the router’s host that downloads the interface through apclii0.

The kernel issues a WARNING if the number of the new TCP segment does not match the number specified in the previous one, i.e. when gluing segments. At this point, WARNING is looping, which further leads either to a panic of the core or to the restoration of work, depending on the depth of repetition.

I committed one patch to the kernel for this topic.
https: //code.google.co…c812bd7aaa398e6266d0ef
The fix was made only in the 3.5 kernel, Eric Dumazet ported it to the 3.4 kernel for Android, but this fix was never included in Upstream 3.4.
Unfortunately, this did not solve this problem, which means that the confusion of the segments occurs within the apclii0 interface, or at the upstream point where the AP-Client is connected. There is no problem on wired local traffic.

Until I reproduce this case, there will be no solution.

This speaks of the great crutch on which the Padawan holds. A joke of course, but there is something to ponder.

With such reasoning, you can go far. When a person does not understand what is happening, he sees a lot of things.

What is new you want to know?

I went to meet the requestTrackscream(he actually turned out to be a very decent person), gave him a Mi-mini configuration with the ability to create a fork. But with 3 conditions:
- Removal of the proprietary Paragon NTFS driver for ASUS (license fees are deducted from it for each copy sold)
- Save copyrights and save ASUS logo (this is part of copyright)
- The project remains only in the source code, without binary images.

Hello! Only today I received a router with Ali. Connected not without difficulties, but quickly. For those who ask how to turn on the English language. Enter the settings page. Select the third tab in the top row. Five icons appear below, press the fifth with the letter i. At the very bottom is just a drop-down menu with a choice of languages. Choose English and get a clear interface :)

The answer is above for firmware 2.2.100. But who can tell if the router can work with 4G modems on any firmware?

Please place pictures under the spoller.
