Tenda RX12 Pro V2.0 - Any Support to this Decent Cheap AX3000?

I just bought a Tenda RX12 Pro v2.0 AX3000 router weeks ago cause I needed to upgrade my old TP-Link 300N AP/Client router. so I was surprised to the specs that meets the OpenWRT system requirements but surprisingly cannot see any mention about it in the Support website, and I wish you our dear Devs to give it a look and a chance to this decent cheap monster to wear our beloved OpenWRT OS.

Can you get boot log from OEM web interface?

OEM fw is encrypted, all eyes on usb ttl adapter…

single file dl https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/V7TRX12P/6976325.pdf

Serial in second pic, quite well labelled, should be 115200 8N1 3.3V, but measure GND to VCC before connecting anything.

off-topic cudy wr3000? are 40-50 bucks if you want already supported device in price bracket.

Hi @Brada4 im just new here in the forum and my first post here haha. Sorry for late response... i just don't have that adapter to be honest I'm just a newbie in this hhh. so the issue here is the FW .Bin file is encrypted.... but... i just got the new FW yesterday from the support about this Tenda R12 Pro v2.0 under the name "US_RX12ProV2.0mt_V16.03.49.25_multi_TDE01.bin" from the tenda support human talk. they still didnt post any firmware about this router officially in the website thats why i asked them to give it to me at least through the chat. i mean if u wanna get the eyes on it too and see if u can do something with it... u told me about cudy.... the reason who made me get this tenda was the 5Ghz that has 3R3T at 6dBi for long distance WISP mode... i mean it really takes the full advantage from this chipset of Mediatek MT7981BA... thats why we would love to see this beloved OpenWRT on this router. and yeah how can i send you the file if u wanna get a look on it? is there any private chat or something in this forum?

More eyes better…

They have encrypted firmware on their site, you need to gain access to console or flash chip to get decryption key.

Boot log would be a first step to determine eg if trustzone (cf PC EFI secure boot) is enabled we can not do anything about it.
