Xiaomi Mi Router 4A (100M International V2) wiki page update

Talk about Documentation
1

Dear all,

the Xiaomi Mi Router 4A (100M International Edition V2) is not referenced in TOH; only the version 1 appears and the information on the Wiki is miss-leading.

This V2 covers exactly the reference in regards to the installation in point 3 from V1: Check the firmware layout with cat /proc/mtd and only proceed if mtd6: 00200000 00010000 “overlay”.

The V2 mtd6: 00100000 00010000

Please (to the moderators) update the TOH with the correct information and the link to: openwrt-24.10.2-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_mi-router-4a-100m-intl-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

because this is already available and works very well! Installation procedure is the same as the V1.

Thanks in advance

Is it possible that you could provide the "correct information" in a fully-written format?

Also, do you have a link to the v2 commit (otherwise, need to search for it)?

It's difficult to guess edits/corrections that another user intends - providing details are helpful.

Hello lleachii

sorry for the delayed answering:

In the curren page: Mi Router 4A (R4AC)

There is statement:

Use OpenWRTInvasion to get a root-shell and flash OpenWrt.

  1. Go to http://192.168.31.1/ and set up the router

  2. Use OpenWRTInvasion to get a root-shell

  3. Check the firmware layout with cat /proc/mtd and only proceed if mtd6: 00200000 00010000 “overlay”

  4. Download the openwrt-sysupgrade-image to /tmp and write it to the flash with mtd -r write <image> OS1

BUT, there is now a FW available for the V2 of this router, so the description should be equivalent yet for this version the 3.3 should have V2 mtd6: 00100000 00010000, like this:

Use OpenWRTInvasion to get a root-shell and flash OpenWrt.

  1. Go to http://192.168.31.1/ and set up the router

  2. Use OpenWRTInvasion to get a root-shell

  3. Check the firmware layout with cat /proc/mtd and only proceed if mtd6: Use OpenWRTInvasion to get a root-shell and flash OpenWrt.

    1. Go to http://192.168.31.1/ and set up the router

    2. Use OpenWRTInvasion to get a root-shell

    3. Check the firmware layout with cat /proc/mtd and only proceed if mtd6: 00100000 00010000 “overlay”

    4. Download the openwrt-sysupgrade-image to /tmp and write it to the flash with mtd -r write <image> OS1 “overlay”

  4. Download the openwrt-sysupgrade-image to /tmp and write it to the flash with mtd -r write <image> OS1

And the path to that image can be found here: openwrt-24.10.2-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_mi-router-4a-100m-intl-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Hope that this can help
