I can't install openwrt firmware, i try to install via update page by uploading the .bin but it showing error 5. Can't connect via SSH. Someone can help me ?
The page for that device looks reasonably complete
https://openwrt.org/toh/avm/avm_fritz_box_4040
Where are you stuck?

The device page does not instruct you to do that. You are supposed to use a temporary FTP server running at boot.
$ ftp -n -v -p 192.168.178.1
Connected to 192.168.178.1 (192.168.178.1).

You right, I will try again this night. Thx You !
So, not working with windows DOS, I will use winSCP command line.
I had a similar issue because I tried the windows builtin ftp client.
This client does NOT support the passive mode.
Download a windows port of the gnu ftp client, that did the trick for me and my FB-4040.
Cheers,
Thomas

@sharujan If your problem is solved, please consider marking this topic as [Solved]. (Click the pencil behind the topic...)
Thanks for the advices.
I have had the same problem in windows 10.
The device documentation in openWRT wiki does not explain it wait for windows users.
ftp command in windows does not have '-p' option, nor passive command.
But you can use 'quote pasv' to get passive mode.
Anyway using ftp in windows does not work.
WinSCP was of no help for me, either.
I used WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux)]
and a Debian Linux minimal shell install from windows store in order to get a bash shell workding under Windows (here is how to install it and get it working).
Once installed, I run the shell program and inside the shell window I installed the ftp package (as the basic linux shell installed does not have ftp):
apt install ftp
Then I copied the openWRT firmware in c:\openwrt.bin and in the linux shell I used the commands from the instructions in the device page, copying the file from c:\openwrt.bin to the device:
ftp -n -p 192.168.178.1
quote USER adam2
quote PASS adam2
quote MEDIA FLSH
binary
put /mnt/c/openwrt.bin mtd1
quote check mtd1
After the put I did not receive the messages about bytes sent, and it took a while for the device to reinit, and there were quite a lot led flashing.
But it rooted correctly and I had openwrt running and accesible in 192.168.1.1 (remember to change de IP in your PC to 192.168.1.2, or better configure two IPs 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.178.2).
One problem I had too was to guess when to run exactly the ftp command. If you wait too much, you receive an error. From the instructions I have thought it was after the initial slow flashes of the power led.
But you have to run it when you see the first flashing in the power led.
