If your router comes with an EC25 module and it doesn't show up
as a QMI device, you should do the following to switch it to QMI
mode:
1. Install kmod-usb-serial-option and a terminal software
(e.g. minicom or screen). All 4 serial ports of the modem
should be available now.
2. Open /dev/ttyUSB3 with the terminal software and type this

Openwrt upgrade instructions
----------------------------
Use the ...-sysupgrade.bin image for future upgrades.
Revert to stock FW
------------------
Warning! This tutorial will work only with the following OEM FW:
WR1000_EU_92.122.2.4987.201806261618.bin
WR1000_US_92.122.2.4987.201806261609.bin
If in the future these firmwares will not be available anymore,
you have to find the new XOR key.
1) Download the original FW from the Cudy website.
(For example WR1000_EU_92.122.2.4987.201806261618.bin)
2) Remove the header.
dd if="WR1000_EU_92.122.2.4987.201806261618.bin" of="WR1000_EU_92.122.2.4987.201806261618.bin.mod" skip=8 bs=64
3) XOR the new file with the region key.
FOR EU: 7B76741E67594351555042461D625F4545514B1B03050208000603020803000D

You can use OpenWrt's tools/firmware-utils/src/xorimage.c tool for this:
xorimage -i WR1000..bin.mod -o stock-firmware.bin -x -p 7B767..
Or, you can use this tool (CHANGE THE XOR KEY ACCORDINGLY!):
https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=XOR(%7B'option':'Hex','string':''%7D,'',false)
4) Check the resulting decrypted image.
Check if bytes from 0x20 to 0x3f are:
4C 69 6E 75 78 20 4B 65 72 6E 65 6C 20 49 6D 61 67 65 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Alternatively, you can use u-boot's tool dumpimage tool to check
if the decryption was successful. It should look like:
# dumpimage -l stock-firmware.bin
Image Name: Linux Kernel Image
Created: Tue Jun 26 10:24:54 2018
Image Type: MIPS Linux Kernel Image (lzma compressed)
Data Size: 4406635 Bytes = 4303.35 KiB = 4.20 MiB
Load Address: 80000000
Entry Point: 8000c150
5) Flash it via forced firmware upgrade and don't "Keep Settings"
CLI: sysupgrade -F -n stock-firmware.bin
LuCI: make sure to click on the "Keep settings" checkbox
to disable it. You'll need to do this !TWICE! because
on the first try, LuCI will refuse the image and reset
the "Keep settings" to enable. However a new
"Force upgrade" checkbox will appear as well.
Make sure to do this very carefully!

following specifications:
- MT7620A (580 MHz)
- 128MB RAM
- 32MB of flash (SPI NOR)
- 5x 10/100Mbps Ethernet (MT7620A built-in switch)
- 1x microSD slot
- 1x miniPCIe slot (only USB2.0 bus)
- 2x SIM card slots (standard size)
- 1x USB2.0 port
- 1x 2.4GHz wifi (rt2800)
- 10x LEDs (4 GPIO-controlled)
- 1x reset button
The following have been tested and working:
- Ethernet switch

Installation and recovery:
In order to install OpenWRT the first time or recover the router, you
can use the web-based recovery system. Keep the reset button pressed
during boot and access 192.168.1.1 in your browser when your machine
obtains an IP address. Upload the firmware to start the recovery
process.
How to swap SIMs:
You control which SIM slot to use by writing 0/1 to
/sys/class/gpio/gpio13/value. In order for the change to take effect,
you can either use AT-commands (AT+CFUN) or power-cycle the modem (write
0/1 to /sys/class/gpio/gpio14/value).

Head Weblink HDRM200 is a dual-sim router based on MT7620A. The detailed
specifications are:
- MT7620A (580MHz)
- 64MB RAM
- 16MB of flash (SPI NOR)
- 6x 10/100Mbps Ethernet (MT7620A built-in switch)
- 1x microSD slot
- 1x miniPCIe slot (only USB2.0 bus). Device is shipped with a SIMCOM
SIM7100E LTE modem.

Tested:
- Ethernet switch
- Wifi
- USB slot
- SD card slot
- miniPCIe-slot
- sysupgrade
- reset button
Installation instructions:
Installing OpenWRT for the first time requires a bit of work, as the
board does not ship with OpenWRT. In addition, the bootloader
automatically reboots when installing an image over tftp. In order to
install OpenWRT on the HDRM200, you need to do the following:
* Copy the initramfs-image to your tftp-root (default filename is
test.bin) and configure networking accordingly (default server IP is
10.10.10.3, client 10.10.10.123). Start your tftp server.
* Open the board and connect to UART. The pins are exposed and clearly
marked.
* Boot the board and press 1.
* Either use the default filename and client/server IP-addresses, or
specify your own.
The image should now be loaded to memory and board boot. If the router
reboots while the image is loading, you need to try again. Once the
board has booted, copy the sysupgrade-image to the router and run
sysupgrade in order to install OpenWRT to the flash.
Notes:
- You control which SIM slot to use by writing 0/1 to
/sys/class/gpio/gpio0/value. In order for the change to take
effect, you can either use AT-commands (AT+CFUN) or power-cycle the
modem (write 0/1 to /sys/class/gpio/gpio21/value).
- RS485 is available on /dev/ttyS0.
- RS232 is available on /dev/ttyS1.
- The name of the ioX-gpios map to the labels on the casing.

Partition layout and boot:
Stock Xiaomi firmware has the MTD split into (among others)
- kernel0 (@0x200000)
- kernel1 (@0x600000)
- rootfs0
- rootfs1
- overlay (ubi)
Xiaomi uboot expects to find kernels at 0x200000 & 0x600000
referred to as system 1 & system 2 respectively.
a kernel is considered suitable for handing control over
if its linux magic number exists & uImage CRC are correct.
If either of those conditions fail, a matching sys'n'_fail flag
is set in uboot env & a restart performed in the hope that the
alternate kernel is okay.
If neither kernel checksums ok and both are marked failed, system 2
is booted anyway.
Note uboot's tftp flash install writes the transferred
image to both kernel partitions.
Installation:
Similar to the Xiaomi MIR3G, we keep stock Xiaomi firmware in
kernel0 for ease of recovery, and install OpenWRT into kernel1 and
after.
The installation file for OpenWRT is a *squashfs-factory.bin file that
contains the kernel and a ubi partition. This is flashed as follows:
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=1
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M count=4 | mtd write - kernel1
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M skip=4 | mtd write - rootfs0
reboot
Reverting to stock:
The part of stock firmware we've kept in kernel0 allows us to run stock
recovery, which will re-flash stock firmware from a *.bin file on a USB.
For this we do the following:
fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed 0
fw_setenv flag_try_sys2_failed 1
reboot
After reboot the LED status light will blink red, at which point pressing
the 'reset' button will cause stock firmware to be installed from USB.
Issues:
OpenWRT currently does not have support for the MT7615 wifi chips. There is
ongoing work to add mt7615 support to the open source mt76 driver. Until that
support is in place, there are closed-source kernel modules that can be used.

Create Factory image
--------------------
As all installation methods require a U-Boot to be integrated into the
Image (and we do not ship one with the image) we are not able to create
an image in the OpenWRT build-process.
Download a TP-Link image from their Wesite and a OpenWRT sysupgrade
image for the device and build yourself a factory image like following:
TP-Link image: tpl.bin
OpenWRT sysupgrade image: owrt.bin
> dd if=tpl.bin of=boot.bin bs=131584 count=1
> cat owrt.bin >> boot.bin
Installing via Web-UI
---------------------
Upload the boot.bin via TP-Links firmware upgrade tool in the
web-interface.
Installing via Recovery
-----------------------
Activate Web-Recovery by beginning the upgrade Process with a
Firmware-Image from TP-Link. After starting the Firmware Upgrade,
wait ~3 seconds (When update status is switching to 0%), then
disconnect the power supply from the device. Upgrade flag (which
activates Web-Recovery) is written before the OS-image is touched and
removed after write is succesfull, so this procedure should be safe.
Plug the power back in. It will come up in Recovery-Mode on 192.168.0.1.
When active, all LEDs but the WPS LED are off.
Remeber to assign yourself a static IP-address as DHCP is not active in
this mode.
The boot.bin can now be uploaded and flashed using the web-recovery.
Installing via TFTP
-------------------
Prepare an image like following (Filenames from factory image steps
apply here)
> dd if=/dev/zero of=tp_recovery.bin bs=196608 count=1
> dd if=tpl.bin of=tmp.bin bs=131584 count=1
> dd if=tmp.bin of=boot.bin bs=512 skip=1
> cat boot.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
> cat owrt.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
Place tp_recovery.bin in root directory of TFTP server and listen on
192.168.0.66/24.
Connect router LAN ports with your computer and power up the router
while pressing the reset button. The router will download the image via
tftp and after ~1 Minute reboot into OpenWRT.
U-Boot CLI
----------
U-Boot CLI can be activated by holding down '4' on bootup.
Dual U-Boot
-----------
This is the first TP-Link MediaTek device to feature a split-uboot
design. The first (factory-uboot) provides recovery via TFTP and HTTP,
jumping straight into the second (firmware-uboot) if no recovery needs
to be performed. The firmware-uboot unpacks and executed the kernel.
Web-Recovery
------------
TP-Link integrated a new Web-Recovery like the one on the Archer C7v4 /
TL-WR1043v5. Stock-firmware sets a flag in the "romfile" partition
before beginning to write and removes it afterwards. If the router boots
with this flag set, bootloader will automatically start Web-recovery and
listens on 192.168.0.1. This way, the vendor-firmware or an OpenWRT
factory image can be written.
By doing the same while performing sysupgrade, we can take advantage of
the Web-recovery in OpenWRT.
It is important to note that Web-Recovery is only based on this flag. It
can't detect e.g. a crashing kernel or other means. Once activated it
won't boot the OS before a recovery action (either via TFTP or HTTP) is
performed. This recovery-mode is indicated by an illuminated WPS-LED on
boot.

Move the zip compression into a build recipe. Pad the image using the
existing build recipes as well to remove duplicate functionality
Change the code to append header and footer in two steps. Allow to use a
fixed filename as the netgear update image does.
Use a fixed timestamp within the zip archive to make the images
reproducible.
Due to the changes we are now compatible to the gnu89 c standard used by
default on the buildbots and we don't need to force a more recent
standard anymore.
Beside all changes, the footer still looks wrong in compare to the

Very similar to the DWR-921-C1, except has a telephony/RJ11 port (not
sure if supported, I didn't try), wireless router with QMI LTE embedded
modem is based on the MT7620N SoC.
Specification:
* MediaTek MT7620N (580 Mhz)
* 64 MB of RAM
* 16 MB of FLASH
* 802.11bgn radio
* 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (1 WAN and 4 LAN)
* 2x external, detachable (LTE) antennas
* UART header on PCB (57600 8n1)
* 6x LED (GPIO-controlled)
* 1x bi-color Signal Strength LED (GPIO-controlled)
* 2x button
* JBOOT bootloader
The status led has been assigned to the dwr-922-e2:green:signalstrength
(lte signal strength) led. At the end of the boot it is switched off and
is available for lte operation. Works correctly also during sysupgrade
operation.
Installation:
Apply factory image via d-link http web-gui, or via recovery interface:
How to recover/revert to OEM firmware:
1.) Push and hold the reset button and turn on the power. Wait until all
LEDs start rapidly blinking (~10sec.)
2.) DHCP should give you an IP in the 192.168.123.0/24 subnet, or set
one manually
3.) Upload original factory image via JBOOT http interface at IP
192.168.123.254
4.) If http doesn't work, it can be done with curl command:
curl -F FN=@XXXXX.binhttp://192.168.123.254/upg
where XXXXX.bin is name of firmware file.
5.) You can optionally telnet to 192.168.123.254 before or during the
upload and it will report the flashing status, memory address etc.
6.) Once web UI and/or telnet says "Success", power cycle the router, or

Drop the factory images and the firmware tool to create them. They don't
work any more, since the factory image has an uImage header covering the
whole kernel + rootfs. This way the uImage splitter will not be able to
find the rootfs and the kernel will panic later on.
The factory images were most likely added at a time the board had
distinct partitions for kernel and rootfs.

Flashing instructions:
A) The U-Boot has HTTP based firmware upgrade
A1) Flashing notes
We've identified so far two different batches of units, unfortunately
each batch has different U-Boot bootloader flashed with different
default environment variables, thus each batch has different IP address
for accessing web based firmware updater.
* First batch has web based bootloader IP address 1.1.1.1
* Second batch has web based bootloader IP address 192.168.1.250
In case you can't connect to either of those IPs, you can try to get
the default IP address via two methods:
A1.1) Serial console, then the IP address is visible during the boot
...
HTTP server is starting at IP: 1.1.1.1
raspi_read: from:40004 len:6
HTTP server is ready!
...
A1.2) Over telnet/SSH using this command:
root@bdcom:/# grep ipaddr= /dev/mtd0
ipaddr=1.1.1.1
A2) Flashing with browser
* Change IP address of PC to 1.1.1.2 with 255.255.255.0 netmask
* Reboot the device and try to reach web based bootloader in the
browser with the following URL http://1.1.1.1
* Quickly select the firmware sysupgrade file and click on the
`Update firmware` button, this all has to be done within 10 seconds,
bootloader doesn't wait any longer
If done correctly, the web page should show UPDATE IN PROGRESS page
with progress indicator. Once the flashing completes (it takes roughly
around 1 minute), the device will reboot to the OpenWrt firmware
A3) Flashing with curl
sudo ip addr add 1.1.1.2/24 dev eth0
curl \
--verbose \
--retry 3 \
--retry-delay 1 \
--retry-max-time 30 \
--connect-timeout 30 \
--form "firmware=@openwrt-ramips-mt7620-BDCOM-WAP2100-SK-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" \
http://1.1.1.1
Now power on the router.
B) The U-boot is based on Ralink SDK so we can flash the firmware using UART.
1. Configure PC with a static IP address and setup an TFTP server.
2. Put the firmware into the tftp directory.
3. Connect the UART line as described on the PCB (G=GND, R=RX, T=TX)
4. Power up the device and press 2, follow the instruction to set device and
tftp server IP address and input the firmware file name. U-boot will then load
the firmware and write it into the flash.

Fix this by completely rewriting the application, fixing following found issues:
- buffer overflows, resulting in stack corruption
- flaws in memory requirement calculations (too small, too large)
- memory leaks
- missing bounds checking on string handling
- non-reproducable images, by using unitilized memory in checksum calculation
- missing error handling, resulting in succes on specific image errors
- endianness errors when building on BE machines

The line that produces factory image was accidentally left by me while
testing before inital commit.
I came to the conclusion that flashing from OEM firmware does not work
(seems to share this behavior with other tplinks based on mt7628).
I have not done any further analysis, as I was unable to open the
case and attach a serial port (too much glue). Maybe i will try once
more.
So the way to do initial flashing (or un-bricking) is to use the
tftp-recover image. It is possible to revert to OEM firmware with tftp
recovery; in this case the first 512 bytes the image file need to be
cut off.

The flag for boot partition is stored in "Key" partition, and U-Boot
reads this and determines the partition to boot.
If the image that U-Boot first reads according to the flag is
"Bad Magic Number", U-Boot then tries to boot from the other image.
If the second image is correct, change the flag to the number
corresponding to that image and boot from that image.

Currently the only method to install openwrt for the first time is via
TFTP recovery. After first install you can use regular updates.
Flash instructions:
1) To flash the recovery image, start a TFTP server with IP address
192.168.0.66 and serve the recovery image named tp_recovery.bin.
2) Connect your device to the LAN port, then press the WPS and Reset
button and power it up. Keep pressing the WPS/Reset button for
10 seconds or until the lock LED is lighting up.
It will try to download the recovery image and flash it.

This commit adds support for the MikroTik RouterBOARD RBM11g.
=Hardware=
The RBM11g is a mt7621 based device featuring one GbE port and one
miniPCIe slot with a sim card socket and USB 2.0.
==Switch==
The single onboard Ethernet port is connected the CPU directly.
The internal switch of the mt7621 SoC is disabled.
==Flash==
The device has one spi nor flash chip. It is a 128 Mbit winbond 25Q128FVS
connected to CS0.
==PCIe==
The board features a single miniPCIe slot. It has a dedicated mini SIM
socket and a USB 2.0 port. Power to the miniPCIe slot is controlled via
GPIO9.
==USB==
There are no external USB ports.
==Power==
The board can accept both, passive PoE and external power via a 2.1 mm
barrel jack (center-positive). The input voltage range is 11-32 V.
==Serial port==
The device does have an onboard UART on an unpopulated header next to the
flash chip:
GND: pin 2
TX: pin 7
RX: pin 6
Settings: 115200, 8N1
See below illustration for positioning of the header.
0 = screw hole
* = some pin
T = TX pin
R = RX pin
G = GND pin

=Installation=
To install an OpenWRT image to the device two components must be built:
1. A openwrt initramfs image
2. A openwrt sysupgrade image
===initramfs & sysupgrade image===
Select target devices "Mikrotik RBM11G" in
openwrt menuconfig and build the images. This will create the images
"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-initramfs-kernel.bin" and
"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" in the
output directory.
==Installing==
**Make sure to back up your RouterOS license in case you do ever want to
go back to RouterOS using "/system license output" and back up the
created license file.**
When rebooted the board will try booting via ethernet first. If your
board does not boot via ethernet automatically you will have to attach
to the serial port and set ethernet as boot device within RouterBOOT.
1. Set up a dhcp server that points the bootfile to tftp server serving
the "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-initramfs-kernel.bin"
initramfs image
2. Connect to ethernet port on board
3. Power on the board
4. Wait for OpenWrt to boot
Right now OpenWrt will be running with a SSH server listening. Now
OpenWrt must be flashed to the devices flash:
1. Copy "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin"
to the device using scp.
2. Write openwrt to flash using "sysupgrade
openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin"
Once the flashing completes the board will reboot. Disconnect from the
devices ethernet port or stop the DHCP/TFTP server to prevent the device
from booting via ethernet again.
The device should now boot straight to OpenWrt.

In some cases, recent builds fail to boot from flash with at least some
MT7621 based devices. The error message is:
"LZMA ERROR 1 - must RESET board to recover"
Booting the same kernel via TFTP works for some reason.
Through testing I figured out that limiting the LZMA dictionary size
seems to prevent these errors

Have mktplinkfw fill in the rootfs offset so the firmware splitter can

Preparing a TFTP recovery image for initial flashing:
Currently the only method to install openwrt for the first time is via
TFTP download in u-boot. After first install you can use regular updates.
WARNING: This method also overwrites the bootloader partition!
Create a TFTP recovery image:
1) Download a stock TP-Link Firmware file here:
https://www.tp-link.com/en/download/Archer-C2_V1.html#Firmware
2) Extract u-boot from the binary file:
#> dd if=c2v1_stock_firmware.bin of=c2v1_uboot.bin bs=1 skip=512 count=131072
3) Now merge the sysupgrade image and the u-boot into one binary:
#> cat c2v1_uboot.bin openwrt-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin > ArcherC2V1_tp_recovery.bin
The resulting image can be flashed via TFTP recovery mode.
Flash instructions:
1) To flash the recovery image, start a TFTP server from IP address
192.168.0.66 and serve the recovery image named
ArcherC2V1_tp_recovery.bin.
2) Connect your device to the LAN port, then press the WPS/Reset button
and power it up. Keep pressing the WPS/Reset button for 10 seconds.
It will try to download the recovery image and flash it.
It can take up to 20-25 minutes to finish. When it reaches 100%, the
router will reboot itself.
