Hello and thank you in advance,
I have just purchased 2 Totolink x5000r.
in anticipation of the problem with the flash chip described on the hardware page
TOTOLINK X5000R [Totolink X5000R] Warning!! The manufacturer have started to use a new flash chip, Zbit Semiconductor part #ZB25VQ128ASIG. This isn't currently supported by OpenWRT, there's however an error report open at OpenWRT images...
I wanted to install openwrt firmware on my newly bought router. openwrt firmware link: https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=22.03.5&target=ramips%2Fmt7621&id=totolink_x5000r
First of all, I downloaded the kernel file and entered my router's stock firmware and flashed it simply using the update firmware option. The flashing process was successful and I saw the new login interface to enter the openwrt firmware. After login I got a message -"System running in recovery (initramfs) mode. T…
I checked the installed flash chips on both devices.
Apparently the manufacturer has changed the installed flash chip again.
Both devices have the following chip.
XMC
25QH128CHIQ
This is obviously not the chip from the hardware side
EN25QH128
nor the one from the flash chip thread
ZB25VQ128ASIG
Date of quality control

So I am looking for suggestions on how to go about installing OpenWrt.
I hope I haven't missed any previous thread on this topic.
Thanks again in advance.
Hello all,
I have successfully installed openwrt on my Totolink x5000r.
The normal "openwrt-22.03.5-ramips-mt7621-totolink_x5000r-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" works fine.
So no additional work is needed, even if it is a different flash chip.
Maybe the info should be added to the Totolink x5000r hardware page, that there different flash chips are used and are working with the normal openwrt.
So not only:
Flash chip Eon EN25QH128.
But also:
Flash chip XMC 25QH128CHIQ.
So this thread can be closed.
