OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX3000T

dandanua · 2024-06-08T15:28:41.009Z

Hello!

I was following the install guide but stuck after the ubiformat step

root@XiaoQiang:/tmp# reboot
root@XiaoQiang:/tmp# Connection to 192.168.31.1 closed by remote host.

I couldn't ssh back after the reboot. Connection was refused (also I could setup wired IP only statically, dynamic configuration didn't work). Yes, I've tried connecting to 192.168.1.1.

This is my firmware

root@XiaoQiang:~# cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 swiotlb=512 rootfstype=squashfs firmware=0 mtd=ubi

What could be the problem? I've debricked it using a repair tool, but I'm wondering should I try again doing something differently?

EDIT:
Strangly, after debricking and accessing ssh again I have different info about firmware:

root@XiaoQiang:~# cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 swiotlb=512 rootfstype=squashfs firmware=1 mtd=ubi1 uart_en=1

for the new offical openwrt fw, the IP is 192.168.1.1, no others.

When we use SSH, or WinSCP, always on 192.168.1.1, like:

ssh root@192.168.1.1 on ubuntu terminal to connect the router.

scp a file to /tmp:

$ scp -O sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp

ssh a file to /tmp:

$ ssh root@192.168.1.1 "cat > /tmp/openwrt.bin" < ~/Downloads/openwrt.bin

no need to login ssh.

I think you could do it again for the SSH access, and then, make sure the ubi code flash into mtd8 or mtd9.

try with window cmd i got same problem putty sometime get u access denied in ssh

sadafa12 · 2024-06-08T16:13:12.675Z

i find the wget with a internet cable way to reinstall ubootmod sysupgreade firmware but it still not giving me ip after i plug back to my computer (no ip no gateway) what should i do now

RadioOperator · 2024-06-08T16:31:32.239Z

normally, openwrt admin ip is 192.168.1.1, and your PC should be in auto-dhcp get an ip on 192.168.1.xxx. I did not meet a case like yours.

sadafa12 · 2024-06-08T16:34:30.531Z

my router is not after debrick it not giving me any ip address

Ditti4 · 2024-06-08T17:36:59.588Z

Have you tried a different Ethernet port on the router? Also, have you tried leaving the Ethernet cable unplugged for a minute and then plugging it back in? I've noticed before that Windows will sometimes not request a new IP address if it doesn't detect the connection as being down long enough (or maybe it's just been a coincidence in the past, but worth a shot at least).

sadafa12 · 2024-06-08T17:45:05.556Z

tried but got random ip add again no gateway mask

sadafa12 · 2024-06-08T18:20:46.192Z

I think the snapshots were broken for the filogic target for a couple of days.
Same issue with the MT6000:

GL.iNET Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) discussions Hardware Questions and Recommendations

Alright so with many has confirmed, latest snapshot is considered as broken. If you use your Flint 2 as a main router, it is advised to hold back upgrade. Thanks to @vw-owrt I have safely restore my Flint 2 to r26536-c67d5189a4. Now, what commit that might be the issue? If this is a common issue with other routers there should be many report in OpenWrt repo, yet it isn't. I suspect this commit might be the issue: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/a568540fd4dda9042b8465662860641822c20551 …

Hi, can someone help please

AX3000T, downgraded from from 64 to 47 successfully (had to use the MIWIFIRepairTool to do this)

Downloaded mediatek-filogic-xiaomi_mi-router-ax3000t-initramfs-factory.ubi into firmware folder

Launched XMIR-Patcher, pointed the IP to 192.168.31.1, then option 2 then 7

I then got the following log

It seemed to install successful, but now I'm just getting a 169 address and can't seem to do anything anymore. Tried power cycling. For now I've gone back to direct to my main ISP router. Can anyone please help, or I have I bricked? Unsure if I need to also download any more files after this (if I can get it to run)

You can try 23.05 snapshot from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05-SNAPSHOT/targets/mediatek/filogic/
,but ax3000t-ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb seems broken,today built is missing rootfs .
23.05-snapshot-r23898-d0620706f0 buildlog: https://buildbot.openwrt.org/images/api/v2/logs/2011823/raw

Feverdog · 2024-06-08T21:17:55.262Z

Hey, hadn't read your message til now.

But someone on another site suggested I was maybe in the WAN port (I originally wasnt and was in the 2nd and had tried that port 1 too thinking perhaps its that

However, thought I'd try port 4 from what he said, and got a 192.168.31 address again - and could see the router again as if nothing had happened, so I'd tried running the same flash, similar result, eventually got a 169 address on that port now - not sure if/when its going to want to give me access again to have another run but if it does I'll try that 23.05 one you gave

IF I get any further, where it says "Using LuCI flash" is LuCI just the name of the 192.168.1.1 page or an app? as yet to find it

edit: ah never mind that message wasn't directed at me

hecatae · 2024-06-08T21:41:39.520Z

Someone?

I see people are successful installing immortalwrt, I'd recommend that for the time being.

Feverdog · 2024-06-08T21:42:56.493Z

Hey on here - ta - I'd be pulling hair out but I'm bald. If I can get another non 169 address then I'll give it a shout (will hunt the files out in the meantime)

edit - resolved and managed to get fixed, in case helps anyone else (tho its no doubt buried in the messages elsewhere too, couldn't get out of a 169 address no matter how many reboots or ports etc other than that random 1 time. So held the pin in the reset button for a while. That got me back, must be stuck in some mode or other.

Used ImmortalWRT, and still early days but looking good

dandanua · 2024-06-08T22:47:04.173Z

Can confirm, I have success with installation of immortalwrt using this snapshot https://downloads.immortalwrt.org/releases/23.05-SNAPSHOT/targets/mediatek/filogic/

adamast0r · 2024-06-09T01:27:36.675Z

thanks, followed that and did exactly the same thing. Tried to install the broken openwrt snapshot like 4 or 5 times today....that really needs to be fixed!

sadafa12 · 2024-06-09T02:27:27.189Z

Does anyone know how to config routing with the 23.x.x firmware i don't see it in luci like my old router

RadioOperator · 2024-06-09T06:29:45.654Z

sadafa12:

i find out it not come from my router it come from the snapshot i download from openwrt download page

just tested my personal build on snapshot updated code (r26573-bac2f1bed6), it's all ok, no IP issues.
(I'm using ubootmod code)
