[Help] Redmi AX6S can’t flash any firmware

[hhhhhhheg]

Hello everyone,

I’m having an issue with my OpenWrt router.

My device is the Xiaomi Redmi AX6S. I previously updated to 24.10.4 via ASU and it worked fine. However, when I tried to update to 24.10.5 using the same method, I couldn’t do it.

I also found that I can’t flash any other firmware at all—not even with force flashing.

After flashing, the router just reboots as normal, but the system files don’t actually change.

Saving configs and installing new packages works fine.

Please help, thanks!

please add "owut" package and show output of owut check -v

@hhhhhhheg

fitblk not installed

Install fitblk , early 24.10 revisions left that out when upgrading from v23
Then use owut to upgrade all packages at once.

opkg update
opkg install fitblk
opkg install owut
owut check -v
# owut upgrade -v

Thank you!

After installing fitblk, everything works normally now.

I did a quick search and found this package is related to firmware handling.

I upgraded from 24.10.1 to 24.10.4 before, and I have no idea why it was missing during the upgrade, haha​

it was a bug, didn't ship with the images.

I think I finally understand why this happened — when I was using ASU on my phone, I accidentally swiped up and tapped the '×' on fitblk. What a coincidence
