Hello! I have a few questions because I'm completely new to this topic. I have two units coming my way, and I want to flash OpenWRT on them using the xmir patcher.
-
Which image should I choose? OpenWrt U-Boot layout or stock layout? I believe the stock if I want to be able to revert to stock firmware.
-
Which specific image should I use? I'm assuming *.UBI one?
-
For a potential update, do I perform it through the GUI using a newer SYSUPGRADE image? That's what I understood from the OpenWRT site, but I'd like to confirm.
-
How do I roll back to the router's stock firmware? I'm assuming there's a chance I won't manage to configure everything properly and might give up, so I'd like to restore everything to its original state and return the device.
https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/redmi_ax6000#xiaomi_recovery_tool_for_the_stock_layout - This link supposedly describes a 'recovery tool for the stock layout,' but I don't quite understand if this is a repair operation for the Xiaomi firmware or if it's an option to revert from OpenWRT to the original firmware? Or does 'stock' refer to the version of OpenWRT that will be installed? Someone else mentioned the whole Debricking section, but I don't understand any of it.
