Mi router 3 uses the same hardware as mi mini, but different flash (nand) and flash layout, so adding support to it requires few edits to original dts

I've been trying to do the same. Ssh'ing into the router works with stock firmware. Now i'm stuck with flashing it with the openwrt bin. 

dev:    size   erasesize  name

mtd11: 02000000 00020000 "rootfs1"
mtd12: 03600000 00020000 "overlay"

I have no idea where to go from here... Flashing over rootfs0 doesn't do anything. I don't want to touch the kernel however. Any help appreciated.

The discussion might have continued from here.
