Troubleshooting Guide for Redmi AX6000 OpenWrt Firmware Installation

The tutorial I released in December last year has been maintained for 12 months. Thank you very much for your support. This machine is also what I think is relatively easy to flash, and it is our determination to maintain the tutorial for a long time. This article will answer some questions.

First, you need to know what you are doing. Our tutorial requires mutual combination.

Tip: The video version is displayed at the top of the blog as a "Bilibili small window".

Script Online Repair#

In some regions, it may be difficult to access this jsdelivr. The modified command is to remove certificate verification, and other steps are the same as the blog.

Note that if there is no response, you can use [CTRL] + [C] to terminate the command execution and try again multiple times, which will not cause "bricking"! Running with the same output as the blog video is acceptable.

Enable Telnet

cd /tmp && curl --silent --insecure -O https://fastly.jsdelivr.net/gh/miaoermua/unlock-redmi-ax6000@main/setup.sh && chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.sh

Backup and Flash U-Boot

cd /tmp && curl --silent --insecure -O https://fastly.jsdelivr.net/gh/miaoermua/unlock-redmi-ax6000@main/uboot.sh && chmod +x uboot.sh && ./uboot.sh

Script Running Issues#

Regarding the script, it is not absolutely necessary to use the online method. You can also install it offline. I will not demonstrate it here. You can check my source code.

If you don't understand, you can use the online script. There is nothing more to explain. Just read the script yourself.

SSH#

Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the ECDSA key sent by the remote host is

Offending ECDSA key in C:\Users\Cat\.ssh/known_hosts:5
ECDSA host key for 192.168.31.1 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

This problem occurs because you have previously connected to this IP with SSH, which causes the keys to be inconsistent. You can clear this key using the following command, or delete this file at this path: C:\Users<username>.ssh/known_hosts

ssh-keygen -R 192.168.31.1

Password#

The password is available in the blog, don't forget it. Also, the SSH password input does not display plaintext and is not stuck or unable to enter. Please use English for input.

Ethernet Port Issues#

Currently, the official definition of the AX6000's Ethernet port is custom, and OpenWrt does not adapt to this. You can only set port 1 as WAN and the other 3 as LAN. Of course, you can enter the system to change it yourself.

No Lights#

The U-Boot we use is an old version of U-Boot from hanwckf, which does not have the driver for the lights. However, it can perfectly flash most systems. It seems that the later updates removed support for large partitions and switched to U-BOOT MOD (112M).

Wait a moment, and the lights will come on after entering the OpenWrt boot.

Third-Party Systems#

We do not restrict third-party systems. You need to flash a third-party OpenWrt system in U-Boot. However, if there is a problem, we are not responsible. Please take another route.

Method to enter U-Boot: Hold down the Reset button and insert the power supply for 15 seconds (you can do more but not less).

Limited Storage Space#

80-60M is not small. You can install some plugins and use our software source. However, we still recommend installing fewer plugins to ensure system stability.

Too Few Plugins#

Having too few plugins is our way of making a streamlined firmware to ensure stability. So if you need to install additional plugins, you can follow the links below:

You need to have the latest version v23.8 to use the software source normally.

How to Flash CatWrt on Third-Party Systems#

For those who have flashed third-party systems, you need to prepare an old version of U-Boot and update it to the version we specify. CatWrt is based on Lean's LEDE and is a system that uses large partitions.

Currently, the options on the market are: original version (OpenWrt dual partition), U-BOOTMOD (112M large partition), and large partition (LEDE/QWRT).

So if you don't know how to downgrade, you can first flash the official MiWiFi firmware according to the tutorial you choose. Here, you can install the official version of immortalwrt, update the software source, install kmod-mtd-rm, and then follow our tutorial to restore the official firmware and start over.
