I tried flashing my mr6400 following instructions from officiall page:
didn't work, tried doing it on windows 10 and linux
I didn't see the router connecting to tftp server even though i set the servers ip to 192.168.0.255 as described in the instructions.
I'm new to openwrt any responses will be appreciated.
Common issues are firewalls blocking the TFTP server.
Make sure it has permissions.
You may also need to reduce the port speed on your network adapter to 100 Mbps, or use an unmanaged switch.
Thanks, I will definetly make sure it has neceseary priviledges then try flashing it again and let u know how it went.
Putting an unmanaged switch between device and your computer is always a good idea as well, as this avoids the link-down event and link training.

Turned off the firewall and changed the router lan ip to 192.168.3.1 so that it is on different subnet and still nothing. I also get an error when trying to set the computers ip to 192.168.0.255, windows complains about subnet mask being invalid and when I change the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 it lets me set the ip to 192.168.0.255. Thanks for giving me hints I'll make sure to reduce the adapter speed to 100 mbps and also try unmanaged switch if adapter speed reduction doesn't work.
Tried flashing on linux using tftpgui as tftp server checked the logs and there is no trace of router ever connecting to tftp server and requesting any file checked tftpd64 logs on windows and there it also seems like the router isn't connecting at all.
That's not what the TFTP instructions, in the link you posted say, read them again, and more carefully.
Hi
Did you turn off all Windows firewalls, domain, private and public?
Set your computer IP to 192.168.0.225 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
- Power off router
- Connect router to your TFTP server
- Press WPS/RESET while you power on router, keep pressed for 10s
- TFTP loading should now start
- Wait until router has restarted
- Log in with browser to 192.168.1.1
Yes turned off private and public firewall on windows, but setting ip to 192.168.0.255 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is impossible in my case even aften resetting network stack with netsh.
You are using wrong IP-address. You shall use 192.168.0.225.
Ok so that's most likely the problem sorry for the whole thing I really should be reading those instruction more carefully thank you for support. Of course I'll try flashing it with ip set to 192.168.0.225 and tell you how it went.
It worked! I have OpenWrt up and running already, Huge thanks for support.
Great!
I can recommend a modified version of uqmi if you have problems to setup your LTE modem, https://github.com/mrhaav/openwrt 
there was a reason why you were told to reread them
I installed the uqmi and tried to configure the wan interface in Intenfaces tab but it's not working and i get no wan connection is there anything I have to do specifically to get the lte modem working?
Paste your network.wwan config and the output from System Log, then I can take a look.

Will you use your LTE modem as the wan connection or do you have wan (internet) via cable?
If you are using your LTE modem as wan, then you have to add a new interface and use QMI as protocol. And then add APN settings and firewall zone.
I want to use the lte modem for wan.
