Thanks for persevering in bringing up these issues!
Hi everyone,
a newcomer to OpenWRT here.
Am I getting it right that the only working way to install OpenWRT on latest 2024 AX4200 devices is to run TRX image via UI provided by remmitor in this thread?
Dear remmitor and other community members, first of all I want to apologize in advance and hoping you won't get it wrong what I'm trying to say here. Also want to shout out big thanks to you for your great contribution and helping users with their issues! You are doing really huge and excellent job in such a complex area!
But may I ask you please to provide a way to build that TRX from any kind of source code on the user side? Not asking about thoroughly written comprehensive guide, but at least source code and some tools available in open source would be more than enough.
Unfortunately with my paranoid mindset running binary image on the device without knowing its source code is like running an executable from an unknown vendor with admin privileges. It is absolutely inappropriate action from the cybersec point of view IMO which violates open-source software transparency principles and benefits.
Also if it is not possible due to any reasons, shouldn't the AX4200 OpenWRT wiki page be edited adding there a paragraph explicitly pointing out that there is no way to install OpenWRT on latest 2024 AX4200 devices, thought a workaround option with pre-built TRX image is available at users' own risk?

I provide all links to the source code on this forum immediately.
Carefully study all the topics where I wrote about Asus devices.

Hi everyone,
could you tell me if our router has the ability to fully toggle power or just toggle the USB device power using gpio?

Do I understand correctly that it is not worth installing firmware 24.10.0 yet?
You should check you bootloader version (in 23.05 console) before:
strings /dev/mtd0 | grep "U-Boot 20"
U-Boot 2022.04-rc1 (Mar 29 2023 - 14:13:33 +0800) - can install
U-Boot 2022.10 (May 08 2024 - 13:49:58 +0800) - bootloop danger, install remittor version or wait

Hello guys, I just received this router at a very good price, but has the latest firmware. Is it possible to install OpenWrt on it?
Hello, does RC5 work on this router by default? Has anyone tried it?
As long as your device still has the old bootloader it works fine.
