The patch has also been merged on openwrt-18.06, so the next stable release will have it: https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=aa0aa47aa176133ff302c4a5cea785d971bc26b3
Got a new device and I'm unable to flash, regular or snapshot firmware.
After loaded initfs, and after running sysupgrade commands, I got this error:

Please advise.
Hi, same problem for me... and if you look at network config, it's messed up... wan is eth1, but eth1 didn't exist, and lan is bridged to eth0. If you look at other dmesg posted earlier, you can see that correct init sequence must create an eth0.1 and eth0.2. I was able also able to force flashing, but it resulted in a brick routerboard (I recovered it with NetInstall).
Yes, I also tried to force flash and I bricked it. 
Any news about this problem? Tried to flash latest 18.06.2 and still won't success.
Edit: I just flashed it with -F flag and it seems to work!
Yeeeeeeeeah!
Edit:
Nope, the interface is messed up. 
There is no switch configured and all ports are LAN.

@ema
A fix was pushed to master for this board:
can you give it a try?
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=6570f3c93aa4110efd1466a6b89742c2e11d7c11
Hi again,
I'm back because I'm trying to flash another hAP lite RB941-2nD (as well as a hAP mini RB931-2nD) and the images I've been using (including ones that handle the newer revision of flash) don't seem to work. Unlike last time, I can't get the initramfs-kernel.bin to boot up correctly on the device. It gets sent to the device, which appears to reboot but then any attempt to ssh into the device hangs. Since I can't get into the router when once the initramfs-kernel.bin is pushed to it. I'm not sure how to get info on the problem. I'd appreciate any suggestions for how to get it to boot or how to gather info on why it's failing. Thanks!
@xback I wanted to follow up on your post. I compiled images from the snapshot of the commit you linked and after pushing the openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-initramfs-kernel.bin file to the router it still hangs and I'm unable to get in with ssh. Is there any information I can gather about my router that might help determine what the problem is?
As an aside I found some potentially useful information, both the new hAP minis and hAP lites I got are using Winbond 25Q128JVSM for flash instead of Winbond 25Q128FVSG, which the older ones had been using. The distinction seems to be meaningful when mentioned on the wiki for a different MikroTik: https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/mikrotik_rbm33g
Given that there's not a listed installation for the Winbond 25Q128JVSM, does that mean that OpenWRT isn't currently compatible?
Few days ago, I flashed latest Hap lite device with snapshot and it worked just fine, switch also is working properly.
Hello,
I wanted to build Stable, but I don't see 941-2nd in the devices list. am I missing something? any advice, please?
OK, so what's the line on this then?
Hi,
I've spent some days trying to get OpenWRT 18.06.4 to work in a Hap Lite. First I tryied to do so in a old device i had and everything went well.
My problems began when I tried to install it in a brand new device. There is a recapitulation of my tryings:
- First I tried to install the new firmware with the recommended way sown in the devicepage, installing it in RAM and doing a sysupgrade there. But LUCI says the image is not valid.
- Then I upgraded the firmware using ssh. Then I found all the ethernet ports are configured as LAN, and the WAN device is not present.
- Then I tried to install the patch publised in this thread (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1znRoqNJ3HX6MUW2ME1sUIS2T2MblvMiU) but the result was the same: The WAN device doesn't work.
- Then I tried to load the snapshot version and instll LUCI via SSH, and, suprise! Nowadays LUCI doesn't work on snapshot version!!!
So, my question is: Is there any gentleman (or woman) who have compiled the version 18.06.4 with a patch to solve the WAN problem.
As a second option, does anybody know any way to solve the LUCI problem on snapshots.
The third option would be locating and compiling the patch by myself, but I don't know how to do so.
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi @Axl
I guess you already know, but if you've finally managed to flash your device, you don't need to compile a special version. Any LAN port can be configured as a WAN port. Exactly the same as with the original Mikrotik firmware.
Hi @Willy,
I'm not sure I want to laugh or cry. I've been crushing my brain for two weeks trying to solve this problem. I know this can be possible with RouterOS, but I switched to OpenWRT to have a less dificult system to configure. But ease of use usually means less power, and I though this could'nt be possible.
I don't want to seem lazy, but, can you provide me any link explaining how to do so? I was so desperate that I had almost decided to switch to RouterOS again.
Thanks and regards
It was there...Here we go again:
Thanks a lot Willy
Hi
My RB-941 Hap lite already flashed with OpenWRT 18.06 from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1znRoqNJ3HX6MUW2ME1sUIS2T2MblvMiU?usp=sharing
first flashed openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-initramfs-kernel.bin -success!
and upgrade from Luci or ssh openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin -my device bricked - bootlooop
another Mikrotik hap lite RB-941 TC flashed this files works perfectly.
What's going on ?

Something is happening.
Sadly as 19.07.10 is final, there's no chance of fixing this anymore for a 32mb device.
RouterOS7 runs really well
