I need help. after im flash openwrt, and change some ip with wifi off, not i cant get in the GUI anymore, try to hold power and reset button to reset it not working. try to go failsafe but no luck. use recvudp and wait for message then press either power or reset button but it doesnt , is there are anyway i could reset this? thanks. use the old ip 10.10.10.154 for tftp to reflash it again but it doesnt connect. any help would be great thanks.

Hello.

Once you succeed to flash the OpenWRT on the router, it's IP will change to 192.168.1.1
...until you reflash it back to the original HooToo firmware.

That's what silentext is trying to do now,...put back the HooToo firmware.

Have you tried setting your PC to a static IP of the same subnet at 192.168.1.3 so it can connect to the routers new IP of 192.168.1.1
If the router is not making an RF and not using DHCP to make an IP, but is still booting properly, or even partially, you should at least be able to get into its Ethernet port, this way.

If it's not, you may need a serial to USB cable to get into it's hardware console.

So...just to be sure...you said you've already used the tftpd to put the GLi firmware file to the TM05 or did you try a different firmware file?

I'm not familiar with a separate OpenWRT file specific to the TM05.

That 'Mary' writes in stilted English, albeit understandable, the question remained if 'she' understood what 'she' read (in English). With patience and determination to enlighten 'Mary' as to the action of the customer, several iterations were necessary. Here now, The Final Curtain:

Hi,
In general , we would not arrange the replace in this situation because it is considered Man-made damage.

Hi Max,

others might realize that you just demonstrated how you were "exploiting a language barrier for personal gain" until you were happy with the resulting response. If you truly want a proper response take the time to get a proper translation of your request into Chinese (assuming that Mary is a native Chinese speaker); the outcome might be the same you ended up with, but you would leave less doubt and it would not look like a "fishing exercise" on your part. You will not care and/or follow up since you a) know better and b) are resistant to proposals of other (at least in this forum), but this lack of you at least trying to do the right thing will demonstrate for on-lookers that all you care about is "being right" (by your own definition of right and potentially having the last word/posting.

Best Regards
M.

P.S.: I am still waiting for your elucidation how your style makes this forum a better more informative place over in the other thread: "As a gesture of good-will I would like to invite you to give a however detailed description why you believe that the style of postings discussed i this thread actually improves the forum for all members, old and new.

Yeah i set it to pc ip to 192.168.1.2 and and gateway 192.168.1.1 , i try to use failsafe and recvudp ask soon it say hit any button i try combination of button but it doesnt enter failsafe .
Also try to use tftp with that ip but it doesnt do anything seem like i cant put it to tftp mode. . however i do have usbjtag. wonder is there any kind of instruction to flash via jtag. any help would be great . thanks

Hi again.
I'm sorry you had to see this forum with this Max issue being dealt with here...
...but, I'll try to continue with assistance.

Do you see any LED activity when it's booting, or finished booting?

I ask because it's possible you may not have waited enough time for the full GLi file to be written to the ROM, if you didn't have a way to see when it was done, without the serial to USB cable and the Putty terminal program.

Do you remember if you waited at least 5 minutes before restarting the router, so the file could be fully written?

If there are none or are only a few LED flashings during the usage or booting of the router, it's possible it's not fully booting up, and you're just in the BootLoader. This is why you may need the hardware console access, on the serial port inside the case.

What IP did you change when it was working? If it was the main interface, have you tried using the IP you changed it to? If you did, it's also possible it's booting up properly, but has shut off some settings to use the Ethernet.

The only way to restore this is with the hardware console (serial to USB cable)

My understanding of the OpenWRT coding is limited to just my experience with it.
I'm very surprised however that no one else has volunteered any help since silentext posted.

This site isn't as helpful to new members as it once was several years ago, and seems to be catering to unhelpful members, by not deleting those accounts with nonsense posts, or misguided efforts to discredit innocent members with libelous and defamatory statements imagined within their own minds.

yes i did flash it abd able to enter openwrt page , i did disable DHCP and change IP but forgot to turn on wireless. now i cant reenter. as for led during power up. white led follow blue after 4 led lit up the mail wireless led turn green. i know it boot up fine. just cant enter main page to do a reset. I did try to change to the ip i change but still not able to enter the GLi page. was hope there a way to reflash to clear. no luck with failsafe. or TFTP to reflash.

This was what I was also saying, it's possible the Ethernet and the wireless are off with the settings you made.
If you get no activity on the Ethernet port as well as no wireless, that setting may have deactivated all but the hardware console to be active.

You could try a different power/reset button sequence, but I'm not familiar with what may work.

Some say holding the reset button in for a set number of seconds,...
...while pressing the power button on...puts the loader into a mode to load the kernel file again...but I don't know what this timing would be for the TM05... Or if it's even part of the GLi firmware.

But you don't know what the IP may be now to even connect if it may have connected.

Maybe, since it does have the GLi firmware, maybe their site forum will have that info of resetting with the reset / power button combo.

I know, in the hardware console (serial to USB cable) using the Putty terminal...
...entering the command firstboot usually resets the configs to the last working settings.

You're really limited without having the hardware console cable...on what can be done to fix it.

Hey, glad you got it working again.
Was it anything on the GLi forum that helped?
I'm curious what got it working again.

As for the settings you need... There's lots of examples on the https://wiki.openwrt.org site.
I wouldn't have that much knowledge on exact settings. Searching there will help you more.
I'm basically new to OpenWRT as well, and got my router setup by trial and error...
...with lots of errors, before it worked as I wanted.

Hello,

Hoping to get this thread back on track, as I'm excited to see growth here. I have a TM05 and successfully flashed the image. Had some troubles with it here and there, but overall it is working.

Recently I had it set up as both a wifi master, and a wifi client, with VLANs configured for the LAN and WAN networks, and passing traffic wifi-wifi -- however, I went to change the "client" instance, and upon network restart, completely lost all access.

I was successful in re-flashing the OpenWRT image by following the same sequence, however this time it does not look for the "rootfs" file -- it just spins. I do NOT have a serial console hooked up. After a few minutes, I gave it a reboot and let it proceed normally. Success! back to stock.

Hoping this is useful to someone else out there, and I'd love to see this become a nifty little tiny battery powered router. As stock it was "okay" but I'd like to see what we can do with it beyond the standard capabilities.

No, I've not played with the hootoo firmware at all. My discussion here is focused solely on OpenWRT. Meaning stock OpenWRT as it was initially configured. I found the original firmware quite limited, and have no plans to use it.

Short description: flash the HooToo Tripmate HT-TM05 with OpenWRT Version from GL-Inet

Install / Setting up an tftp-Server on your local machine.
Download the firmware from gl-inet.com
"gl-inet.com/firmware/mt300n/clean/openwrt-gl-mt300n-clean-1.0.bin]"
Rename the received file to " kernel " and put it in your tftp-Server Directory with the necessary permissions
Config your Lan-IP to 10.10.10.254
Boot your HooToo by pressing and holding the ON-Button
If the first LED light up press and hold the Reset-Button (you need a toothpick)
Release the ON-Button - Hold the Reset Button at least 30 sec.
Start/Restart your tftp-server
waiting until end of the transfer (message rootfs not found in logfile)
Power Off your HooToo
Restart your HooToo
Config your Lan-IP to 192.168.1.10
Open your Browser - insert Address 192.168.1.1
Configure your OpenWRT-HooToo

hope this short summary will help somebody save time.

Is there somebody able to build a better version from the gl-inet sources with the imagebuilder found on that site ?

gl-inet.com/openwrt/ramips/

I don't have the ability for this.
Maybe it is possible to define the LED's and the Power-button with spezial Funktions. Also the support for USB-Sticks and SMB/Cifs would be fine.

Has anyone managed to configure their HT-TM05 for a hotel context? Wireless LAN/Wireless WAN? I've got it working with Wireless LAN/Ethernet WAN but my attempts at an all wireless setup have all met with disaster.

Hey, first post!

I have an HT-TM05, hate the firmware, want to make OpenWRT mainline for it, and have a decently equipped electronics lab, and some Linux experience...

means hootoo original software? if so, i need your help please!

If you want to go back to the original HooToo firmware, I think you need help that I'm unable to give. I know a guy, though, and you should give him a call talk it through. He did wonders helping my sister with her mental illness.

I'm not sure I'm joking with that statement either... I'm not impressed HooToo's firmware. It's so buggy and unstable...

Still, after reading this topic, it seems my best path forward is to break out the spudgers, solder on some headers and attach a serial adapter... 'cuz that way I can poke around to my heart's content with the stock firmware.

Let's figure out how to get the stock firmware onto your HT05. Let me know what information you think will be helpful. I imagine simple mtd_read dumps from the various mtd blocks isn't going to cut it, or you'd be done by now.

So I'll refrain from refreshing my device until either you get your device back to the HooToo firmware, or I lose patience. I have a working MobileLite G2, so there's no rush on my side.

Is there somebody able to build a better version from the gl-inet sources with the imagebuilder found on that site ?

I'm going to try building a better version, but I'm as likely to make a "stock" OpenWRT image as I am to make one base on gl-inet.

Has anyone managed to configure their HT-TM05 for a hotel context? Wireless LAN/Wireless WAN? I've got it working with Wireless LAN/Ethernet WAN but my attempts at an all wireless setup have all met with disaster.

Are you referring to the Stock firmware? If so, I've managed to get it to work... once, and briefly. Never again.

The factory firmware isn't great: connected devices drop wifi randomly, and the TM05 reboots itself.

I'm pretty sure minidlna is exhausting he TM05's memory when it does its periodic scan of attached storage. I see the same thing in OpenWRT on my MobileLite G2, which also has the MT7620N and 64 MiB of RAM.

For those of you looking to build from sources for the HooToo TM-05, you can use the GL-MT300N builds.
I have done this, and the same builds for the GL-MT300N work on 2 devices that I've been using:

- HooToo TM-05
- RavPower RP-WD03

I use the Chaos-Calmer branch for these builds, and GL-inet has their own github repository for this:

https://github.com/domino-team/openwrt-cc

For building, I use linux ubuntu, and follow the directions in the openwrt wiki pages. Google on openwrt build or openwrt buildroot. Something like that.

Their code builds fine, with no errors. Takes awhile but builds. And then runs as expected.

If anyone is interested, I can publish my diffconfigs, and then I can also publish how I config the device once its up and running openwrt, by showing my files from /etc/config/

I spent quite a bit of time last night in reading through this thread from the beginning: GREAT Stuff, really enjoyed seeing what you guys have been doing, and can relate with some of the rat-holes you have to go down before finding a solution.

Lack of USB support and media streaming have seemed to be a sore spot for some folks, and largely due to the fact the the binary openwrt image from GL-inet doesn't have much in the way of USB. This can all be added in with building from the Github sources.

Wingspinner has some info about the options that he builds with, which includes USB support. I did have 1 build (there have been many) in which I enabled all the USB stuff, so I can confirm that it indeed does work. Didn't ever try out streaming stuff (dlna), so don't know about that.

Search on: wingspinner github
And read up on some of the stuff he's done. You can find links to forum posts and other amazing stuff.

Be glad to answer questions and help out where I can

Look at the openwrt recipes for Bridged Client, then follow the link in that article to "WDS (Atheros)"

Link for Client Bridge:

https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/bridgedclient

WDS Atheros link:

https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/atheroswds

Down towards the end of the WDS Atheros article, there is this little gem:

For wireless connection, one additional step is required:
Create a new wireless interface. You can simply add it in LuCi → WiFi, or create a new wifi-iface section in /etc/config/wireless. Copy all the values from the existing interface, but make two changes: use mode 'ap' instead of 'sta' and leave out the WDS option or set it to 0. SSID and key may be the same as with the host SSID for transparent roaming, but they can also be different. As long as you connect this new interface to lan, which is the default, your other wireless devices connecting through this AP will also be seen as part of the big network.

I actually tested this out yesterday, and it worked. Here's the 2 key files in /etc/config:

network:

config interface 'loopback'
    option ifname 'lo'
    option proto 'static'
    option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
    option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config interface 'lan'
    option ifname 'eth0'
    option type 'bridge'
    option proto 'static'
    option ipaddr  '192.168.20.221'
    option netmask '255.255.255.0'
    option gateway '192.168.20.1'
    option dns     '192.168.20.1'
    option macaddr 'B2:DD:5D:10:19:6F'

config globals 'globals'
    option ula_prefix 'fd16:9263:09eb::/48'

config switch
    option name 'switch0'
    option reset '1'
    option enable_vlan '0'

Wireless:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
    option type 'mac80211'
    option channel '1'
    option hwmode '11g'
    option path '10180000.wmac'
    option htmode 'HT20'
    option txpower '20'
    option country '00'

config wifi-iface
    option device 'radio0'
    option network 'lan'
    option mode 'ap'
    option ssid 'RouterEXa'
    option encryption 'psk2+ccmp'
    option key 'somethinghere'

config wifi-iface
    option device 'radio0'
    option network 'lan'
    option mode 'sta'
    option wds  '1'
    option ssid 'RouterEX'
    option encryption 'psk2+ccmp'
    option key 'somethinghere'

Caveat: MAJOR Caveat!!

As described in the 1st 'Bridged Client' link there is difficulty with this mode when using incompatible hardware. Seems that the Broadcom devices don't play nice with the Atheros devices, and vice versa. So I don't think that my setup will necessarily work in all cases. As always, the proof is in the pudding, and you're going to have to experiment to see what works and what doesn't work.

I always read the fine print after the purchase:

Can I convert the wireless network to an Ethernet connection via TripMate? (WAN / LAN port)

No, the Ethernet port on TripMate is a WAN port, which can only receive hard wired network signal and convert it into wireless network signal, then rebroadcast it out. You cannot use the TripMate to receive a wireless network then output it via this WAN port.

Scoping out OpenWRT for my newly acquired, and now somewhat useless HT-TM05. Been using DD-WRT for years, but see there has been some work done here.

Any suggestions? Basically looking to bridge an iPhone hotspot to HT-TM05 and then use its ethernet port to connect some very old hardware to the interwebz for updating. To date, I have evaluated a few portable options, but have found only one battery-powered solution in TP-LINK TL-MR3040 (now discontinued, I believe). The battery size of this HooToo unit makes it very attractive, but the omission of what seems to be a fairly simple feature is knocking this out of contention.

Appreciate any feedback!

EDIT: Welp, reading helps. Crude implementation at this point, but concept proven. For others looking to do the same, flash OpenWRT using the instructions here:
wiki.openwrt.org/toh/hootoo/hootoo_ht-t … rt_install

And for bridging the iPhone hotspot (WISP or Client Bridge Mode), I followed this:

Hi,
I have installed the OpenWrt firmware, but it doesn't work as expected.
I cannot share a wifi connection, and I cannot mount USB drives (they are not recognized in the /dev/ folder).
So, for this points I would like to restore the original firmware.
I tried to install it via the web interface, with no success.
Has anyone got a solution to turn back to the standard interface, please ?
Thanks

What ever came of this? I have OpenWRT on HT-tm06 but, problems getting mounts and losing other features.

Is it possible to restore back to original firmware?

Thanks
