I can't access the shell. Pressing Enter or any other button doesn't do anything either. I'm accessing the router over Serial (57,600 baud 8N1) using minicom. I remember there was an old build I used about a year or 2 ago and I didn't have any problems getting the shell to appear.
I should also note that I'm using a fork of OpenWRT that adds support for the Xiaomi Mi Wifi R3 only because that repository has the patch included for NAND support on the MT7620 which is still mysteriously missing from the current mainline branch.
