How to unbrick Xiaomi MiWifi Nano, in case I screw up?

OK, i just got a new Xiaomi MiWifi Nano but before i go any further of installing OpenWRT, I wish to know how to unbrick it in case I screw it.

Can we use TFTPD method like the way we use it for TP Link TL-WR841N router?

Have a read under the heading HACK in the link below for recovery details

I'm stuck at step 5 under "Installation via SSH", while executing the below

root@XiaoQiang:~# wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/mt7628/openwrt-ramips-mt7628-miwifi-nano-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Connecting to downloads.openwrt.org (148.251.78.235:80)
Connecting to archive.openwrt.org (81.0.124.218:80)
wget: can't open 'openwrt-ramips-mt7628-miwifi-nano-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin': Read-only file system

What does it mean by read-only? Btw, I'm using Windows 10 to do all this. I downloaded curl from https://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/

Nvm, i got it. I gotta run the wget comman under /tmp folder
