I've uploaded images for MX2000 and MX5500 here for anyone who'd like to test:

It comes with the usual caveat, use at your own risk or be prepared to connect to serial in case of failures.

Flash instructions (taking mx2000 as an example):

  1. Manually upgrade firmware using openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin image.
    Optionally install on second partition, after first boot check actual partition:
  • fw_printenv -n boot_part
    and install firmware on second partition using command in case of 2:
  • mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
    and in case of 1:
  • mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
  1. Installation using serial connection from OEM firmware (default login: root, password: admin):
  • fw_printenv -n boot_part
    In case of 2:
  • flash_erase /dev/mtd12 0 0
  • nandwrite -p /dev/mtd12 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin
    or in case of 1:
  • flash_erase /dev/mtd14 0 0
  • nandwrite -p /dev/mtd14 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin
    After first boot install firmware on second partition:
  • mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
    or:
  • mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
  1. Back to the OEM firmware:
  • mtd -e kernel -n write FW_MX2000_1.1.7.210469_prod.img kernel
    and:
  • mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write FW_MX2000_1.1.7.210469_prod.img alt_kernel
