Hello, i decided to install the snapshot for this lte router. I installed the recovery.bin through oem software, but i dont know what to do next. I can connect to the openwert via ssh in cmd prompter but i dont know how to proceed next steps.

Im completely green on how to operate it, please help.
Next step is to upload and install sysupgrade image from
https://mirror-03.infra.openwrt.org/releases/24.10-SNAPSHOT/

im not completely green but f stupid. how do i upload the sysupgrade file? i tried to do it via scp command and wget but with no success. Do i need to configure my lan connection so it can access my wifii hotspot?
You can do scp (-O for newer versions)
scp file.bin openwrt.lan:/tmp/file.bin
or
cat file.bin | ssh openwrt.lan "cat > /tmp/file.bin"
Not yet hotspot, tell a bit more about your provider's device, OpenWRT likely can replace its internet gateway part.
Am i doing it right?

scp -O file.bin openwrt.lan:/tmp/file.bin
EDIT -O here stands for "Old protocol" , not "another Option"
this is what i get when trying to upload the file:
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
nothing is working for me 
remote user is root
scp -O file.bin root@openwrt.lan:/tmp/file.bin
You are a genius
You can paste images here, or even better copy/paste text then enclose in
```
tripple backticks
```
Best if you open a new thread about doubts on network topology if any. the scp confusion will blur the needs here.
i got another problem
root@OpenWrt:~# sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-24.10-snapshot-r28040-141ccfd548-ramips-mt7621-zyxel_lte5398-m904-squashfs-sy

Mon Nov 25 15:44:36 UTC 2024 upgrade: Use sysupgrade -F to override this check when downgrading or flashing to vendor firmware
Image check failed.
I am trying to get you from snapshot to next stable release.
Check sha1sum of file on your disk and the device and force 2-week downgrade.
And use shorter names for uploaded file, it is that easier to type.
i feel that i should not install snapshot if i dont have any knowledge. Would installing vendor firmware work right now?
No idea, so far the thing is you installed the bleeding edge snapshot mini-image, and I am trying to get you to next stable release.
oh, ok i understand
Verify checksums of file downloaded and file on the device and force the sysupgrade.
Revert instructions, usually from working (not initramfs) OpenWRT are in wiki pages.
how do i do that in the snapshot?
sha256sum /tmp/*.img
Download site says sha256sum should be exactly
565205accb274576cb3c573cd1eca0584e51ad9e98d3d97f8280880d3bb23ea3
im losing my mind again:
root@OpenWrt:~# sha256sum /tmp/.img
sha256sum: can't open '/tmp/.img': No such file or directory
root@OpenWrt:~#
