Enable access to uboot menu (needed in wvrtm-130acn):
- The access to uboot menu is blocked by `bootdelay = 0` set in ubootenv.
With stock firmware version 01.01.02.163 and previous, you can use CVE 2020-24365
command injection https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-24365
    python3 exploit.py -t 192.168.1.1 -c "fw_setenv bootdelay 3; fw_saveenv"

Backup the stock firmware:
- Connect via uart
- Connect via ethernet and assign your pc the address 192.168.15.x/24
- Power on the device; and start typing '4' to enter uboot menu
- Set factory mode and boot
    MT7621 # setenv factory 2; saveenv
    MT7621 # nand read 2800000 2000000 81000000; bootm
- Telnet and copy all mtd blocks
    telnet 192.168.15.1
- Copy all mtd blocks and start webserver
    for N in $(seq 0 6); do dd if=/dev/mtd$N of=/tmp/eeprom_mtd$N.bin; done
    mount -o bind /tmp /www
    lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd.conf
- Backup stock rootfs_data (optional)
    dd if=/dev/mtd7 of=/tmp/eeprom_mtd7.bin
    dd if=/dev/mtd8 of=/tmp/eeprom_mtd8.bin
- Download to your pc from http://192.168.15.1/eeprom_mtd$N.bin

Installation:
- Connect via uart
- Connect via ethernet and assign your pc the address 10.10.10.3/24
- Start a tftp server and serve the image initramfs-kernel.bin
    mkdir /tmp/ftpd;
    cp initramfs-kernel.bin /tmp/ftpd/kernel.bin
    dnsmasq --enable-tftp --tftp-root=/tmp/ftpd
- Power on the device; and start typing '4' to halt the bootloader
- Change the active mtd partition from mtd6 to mtd5 (needed by uboot)
    MT7621 # setenv mtddevnum 5; saveenv
- Write the openwrt initramfs in ram via tftp and boot it
    MT7621 # tftpboot 81000000 kernel.bin; bootm
- From the initramfs create the ubi device and install openwrt via sysupgrade
    ubiformat /dev/mtd11 -y
    sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/sysupgrade.bin

Recovery:
Restore the stock firmware from the backup of the mtd blocks
    mtd write eeprom_mtd5.bin firmware
    mtd write eeprom_mtd6.bin Kernel2
    mtd write eeprom_mtd7.bin Storage1
    mtd write eeprom_mtd8.bin Storage2
    ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y
    reboot

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
