OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX3000T

[Szabka]

Maybe you are locked in a pstore recovery like me.
In this case uboot always boots to recovery.
if there are files in the /sys/fs/pstore directory remove them then reboot.
rm -f /sys/fs/pstore/*

This turned out to be the problem for me OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX3000T - #2171 by gssjshark

I was able to go back to 23.05.5 and opkg was working normally. Thanks for your help though

@tassoschry

and opkg was working normally.

Yeah, soon there will be a lot of posts about why "opkg update" or "opkg install luci" do not work after installing official Snapshot image on the AX3000T.

So, for those who are not aware yet:

@efahl

APK will become the default package manager on main snapshot as of 2024-10-11:

Major Change Notice: New Package Manager

As of November 2024 for snapshots from the main development branch and future stable release builds (possibly also including the upcoming 24.10 series), the package manager in OpenWrt has changed from opkg to apk. This new package manager offers a number of advantages over the older opkg system and is a significant milestone in the development of the OpenWrt platform. The older opkg package manager has been deprecated and is no longer part of OpenWrt. As this represents a fundamental shift in …

This works great on my AN8855+Winbond device, thank you!

Is there anyway to add 6in4 to these builds?

I've tried installing it from opkg but getting kernel version mismatch error, I'm guessing due to new snapshot release making older versions invalid.

[imkloon]

Built a new one just now and also added it into the image.

[axtya]

Just used the sysupgrade on the new version and setup IPv6 tunnel, all works perfectly, thank you.

I checked the pins twice. I'm using a Sipeed SLogic with 4 UARTs available. None of them worked, even though they all support 3.3V. I'm starting to think this is an issue with the router itself.

Have you tried the cpu debrick tool? I believe my bricked router also gave me no output at all, but just because the software didn't want to.
Also i somehow killed the uart of my raspberry, that gave me just garbage.

[Ser9ei]

An oscilloscope or logic analyzer may help to get a complete picture of the current state of the router's UART connection. But it may not help to unbrick the router.

For example, I have a device with corrupted transmission (output), but I can send command (receiver is ok)
Have you tried the mtk_uartboot method, maybe receiver can still work?

Hello everyone. I think i bricked my AX3000T.

I tried to update to immortalwrt (snapshot), and then back to openwrt, so here it all starts.

When i try to connect to the router's website, it shows me that it refused to connect.
I entered into SSH mode, ran the opkg update && opkg install luci, and it showed me that the system wants to download immortalwrt files without permission, which failed, and when it came to installing luci files, it says that there's no internet connection (though i inserted the ethernet cable into the first lan slot). I tried to do a reset to stock firmware (with force) but it says that there's no file for that, but force given, will update.

After that, I couldn't do anything except for entering failsafe and hard-resetting. Can i restore it any possible way?
I am not an expert in here, but a rookie.

@fortnitesigma

Can i restore it any possible way?

• a) Stock Firmware URL + MIWIFI Repair Tool
  or
• b) TFTP instructions for the stock bootloader from Wiki

[ajj]

I had successfully installed OpenWrt on this router, however after trying to perform a reset in openwrt luci I am stuck on slow blinking orange light after performing the reset

[jojosupir]

Repair with MiWifiRepairTool.Refer to post 1918

[ajj]

got it working by resetting to stock xiaomi firmware and installed the openwrt uboot layout

Hi, any update about the "problem" with 5Ghz vs 2.4Ghz, thanks

[LexOWRT]

I'm having a hard time digging through the replies here, I hope someone can answer my question.

Does my RD03/Winbond have the soft-brick fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed thingy too?

If I type 'fw_printenv' I get

fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed=11
fw_setenv flag_try_sys2_failed=8

I'm scared of rebooting it again, as I'm not sure how many times it's booted yet...

Can someone tell me how to be safe? Thanks.

[alexq]

@LexOWRT

fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed=11

since you already successfully passed the threshold limit (=6), it would be safer for you to not touch this flag.

@LexOWRT

as I'm not sure how many times it's booted yet...

Your router booted OpenWrt 11 times.

[LexOWRT]

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll leave it alone.

Hi, i've been looking through this thread since I purchased an AX3000T.... there seems to still be some issues (WiFi, LAN ports, crashing after multiple restarts... ) with the latest models applying the latest snapshot.

Would someone mind summing up the current issues that are occurring with the snapshot and other Github builds being released? I understand a number of commits have happened this month which should mean the next stable release of OpenWRT will work with all HW releases of this router.

Thanks.

[alexq]

@thewonderer73

which should mean the next stable release

I wouldn't be so optimistic.
