R4AC CN keeps rebooting after flashing OpenWRT via Breed, boots normally after flashing kernel

My Xiaomi R4AC China Edition router keeps rebooting after flashing OpenWRT via Breed, but it boots normally after flashing the kernel. Why is this?

Please restore to OEM u-boot, OpenWtt does not use YOUR hacked bootloader

Should I flash OpenWRT directly? Won't it brick my phone if I don't use Breed?

You have to figure out how to restore xiaomi u-boot bootloader.

what exactly is "kernel" in this case ?

did you flash your R4AC or your phone with openwrt ?

“kernel.bin”

I didn't ask about the name, but the content.
you could call it p00.bin, it'd equally informative.

Sorry, I really don't know. Could you tell me the method?

I can't install "openwrt-sysupgrade", but I can install "openwr-kernel". I haven't started the flashing process yet. I'm currently in the "breed" stage.

because ?

cool, but it's not supposed to be installed.

https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=5ff5c9bce6b6e51060c272521528b5afd789e9ab is probably relevant for you, but since you've changed the boot loader, you're on your own.
