OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX3000T

Do not flash the wrong recovery image))). And in general, these routers are so durable that if you replace the NAND with a new (empty) one, you can restore it to the factory state with the help of UART.

After I updated the AX3000T router, the error codes in the picture started to appear. After reinstalling with the SYSUPGRADE file, I made the updates and the error appeared.
What is the solution?
Device Model: RD-23 - ESMT

Reset the router firmware to default and clear the cache in the browser, or go into "incognito" mode.

Today I reflashed 5 routers RD03 Chinese version with AN8855 and NAND Foresee.
3 routers did not "have bad blocks", 2 routers showed their presence when executing - "ubidetach -p /dev/mtd8; ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd8"
After which they were successfully flashed to the stable official version 24.10.0, but the bootloader was not used from the OpenWrt branch, but from https://github.com/dimfishr/openwrt/releases/tag/filogic-2025-02-17
Some custom edits were made to it to fix OpenWrt bugs with this NAND. While one of the routers is being tested and works normally! Please note that if you have the same configuration and when executing "ubidetach -p /dev/mtd8; ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd8" there are indications of the presence of bad blocks!!!

fanoush:

The only thing I miss from old router is pair of USB ports.

If your router's USB port is needed just for external disk storage, then there is a great alternative on OpenWrt:

install rclone + Samba4 (see configuration).

With this setup, you can mount your Microsoft OneDrive (or Google Drive) as a disk on the AX3000T router and share it over your local network like a NAS.

A practical example: shared network folder for scanned documents, or just storage for documents, etc.

In many cases, this can be an even better (cheaper) solution than using a regular USB flash drive.

Hello! Please, help. I hard bricked router after trying change to uboot. After flashing boot via uart it enables router openwrt console, not tftp client and don't download recovery image. What can I do from console?

You installed SNAPSHOT, it doesn't have a web interface. It's not a brick.
And learn to use the PrintScreen button instead of a camera.

Lotoss · 2025-03-06T13:34:39.939Z

No, it has Lucy now(latest snapshot), and after I reboot router it can't run(led off too)
PS I have one PC, and router off. Where can I make screenshots?

Run the router without any additional bootloaders, you will get to the "processor console".
There will be a menu.
You need to flash from the backup copy you made before starting the reflashing.
In general, there will be a menu on the screen and it will say what and how to do.
Return to factory settings and start over.

 4. Flash stock images from backup

mtd write /tmp/BL2.bin BL2
mtd write /tmp/FIP.bin FIP
mtd write /tmp/ubi.bin ubi

If you can run OpenWrt via UART, flash the bootloader from under it.
How to do this is also in WIKI.

Probably flashed OpenWrt for the wrong bootloader, that's why it doesn't boot automatically.

Lotoss · 2025-03-06T14:43:14.458Z

That what i have when connected via uart
And yeah, bootloop

Its how the bricked device looks like. You can find similar ~~screenshot~~ done by me. Link
I guess, LED is not working, ethernet ports either....

Lexeyko · 2025-03-06T14:49:09.275Z

Judging by the last line, there is a bad contact with UART. There should be a numbered menu with colored letters further on. If you haven't changed the bootloader, then try to restore the stock firmware with the standard Xiaomi utility.

In his pictures, OpenWrt is loading, what kind of brick is this?
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-support-for-xiaomi-ax3000t/180490/3324?u=lexeyko
Here you can see that the firmware has loaded, the LAN interfaces have started up, type 192.168.1.1 in the browser and enter Luci. PIC.3

danpawlik · 2025-03-06T15:52:24.539Z

I was watching in last picture, not few posts above.
That is different issue, ignore @Lotoss what I mentioned.

Just a sanity check: which OpenWrt bootloader version you are using? If you have a device with AN8855 switch, and if you use 24.10 bootloader it will not have network access (so no TFTP).

Support to AN8855 was introduced to OpenWrt bootloader by this commit and it has not been backported to 24.10 yet AFAIK. If that's the case you must use the OpenWrt uBoot from snapshot builds if your device has an AN8855 switch.
