Snapshots will change on a daily basis, so today updates will work, tomorrow they wont without flashing the sysupgrade image again. This snapshots are only for development testing, not for daily usage.
I'm aware of your build is being outdated but it's newer than i'm using right now (19.07.3). With the build i use, everything works without a problem except WiFi. WiFi performance and speeds are not stable. I just wanted to take advantage of the fixes for MT76 drivers. That was my goal.
I think it's better to wait for 20.xx in my case.
Thank you again for your answers @araujorm @db260179. Cheers.
Anyone have any idea why I lose connectivity to lan devices that are connected via wifi?
It happens after about 12 hours and only rebooting the rooter fixes the issue for me.
I've seen it mentioned in several threads with no real solutions. changing GTK delay didn't help.
Try using the setting "Disable Inactivity Polling" within the advanced settings of the WiFi config.

@araujorm Hi Bro.
When will your new version ?
@ooemir probably won't make one, at least any time soon... @db260179 builds are the way to go if you want to keep updated.
But I do not want to change an adapter. I use it out of the box.
I managed to get the chinese firmware loaded today.
Notable differences in rom layout.

Hi all.
Is there anyway to run zapret on this router? Which is an anti-censorship utility designed to bypass the DPI systems by the way.
Normally it should work on openwrt but the flash size of this device does not enough for git clone process. However it's working fine on ram (/tmp). But you know... It's on RAM ¯\ _ (ツ)_ /¯
So can anyone make it smaller for this device? I mean a debloated fork especially for this cpu's architect.
Thank you. Have a nice day!

Hi all,
one week ago I decided to install openwrt on my mi4a gigabit edition (eu firmware). I used OpenWRTInvasion and all was fine.
But the firmware used with that guid is without GUI, so I tried first to install gui via packet-manager but, I don't remember, It was an error. Then I tried to upgrade system packages and the router went in stuck.
Now I'm trying to restore to original firmware but the blue led is blinking since 1 hour and nothing happens. Could you help me to understand how to move on?
Thank you very much! Have a great day.

Use @hoddy recovery guide via TFTP boot.

If you using hoddy's guide make sure to "Allow" the Dialog Box pops up(I think that's Windows Security Alert) if you didn't Allow that thing the flashing will not progress....you'll notice there's a "B:O:T:0" in the logs while flashing if you saw that in your logs it's successful and wait the process to finish
Anybody know where I can get r4ac_firmware_e9eec_2.18.58.bin? Dowloads at miwifi.com have access denied issues.
Can someone help with this error? Why I can not install any program?

Hi guys,
When will stable version be released?

you can track the progress here. other than that, no one really knows.
edit: another thing that is not clear, is if those of us using araujorm's builds will be able to simply upgrade to the official builds. there might be a more complicated procedure than a simple upgrade using luci

It will come with stable 20.00

I'm using your's because I need OpenVPN which for now have kernel 4.14.195 dependencies, and don't support even higher kernel. For me the only drawback is the device name become 3GV2 instead of Mi Router 4A.
@db260179 19.07.4 build are updated but have newer kernel, it also give correct name for my device Mi Router 4A, but ATM don't support OpenVPN.
Many thank's for both of you and also @Byte who provided Backport Builds
Also thank you @Zorro for (Edit 2: your builds and) providing link for the script, I'm using this to install OpenWRT offline from Xiaomi firmware in Windows (x64) and no need for STOK number just router password for 0.start_main.
CAUTION for script backup & restore
The backup file created by this script 1.start_create_backup.bat have the same size as dump file from SPI Flash Programmer. DO NOT USE it to flash with SPI Flash Programmer (already tried that LOL), the backup file only for restore purpose for this script only 9.start_restore_backup.bat and from @Zorro explanation+my experiment this script only run in Windows x64 on Xiaomi Firmware (Probably with default ip 192.168.31.1).If we don't have SPI Flash Programmer and already backup with this script, then brick the router for some reason. Order the cheap CH341A (Edit: or borrow your friend's flash programmer), flash our router with someone else dump file (Xiaomi firmware) and then restore our data with the backup file (Edit: the script will overwrite whole SPI flash with same state when it was backed up).
Beside help installing OpenWRT with the script for Windows (x64) user, the unofficial 2.28.132 patch provided also help as middle-step for the chinese firmware (2.28.38 or 2.28.62) user who want to upgrade with 3.0.24 global firmware (Edit: Using router Web-GUI, no need for 2.28.132 if we downgrade from 3.0.24 to 2.28.62).
3.0.24 INT Note
In my experience this firmware somehow tune our u-boot. If we have edited bootdelay.....5 (0x19690 62 6F 6F 74 64 65 6C 61 79 00 00 00 00 00 35), after update to 3.0.24 it will revert back to bootdelay...off (0x19690 62 6F 6F 74 64 65 6C 61 79 00 00 00 6F 66 66). Someone else who have edit-write their dump, upgrade to 3.0.24 (probably install OpenWRT too after this) can confirm this.Edit 2:
@hoddy Can you make another video to install OpenWRT using script shared here? Already watch and done the way using ubuntu guest in virtualbox from your previous video. I think it will make another interesting guide for others..
