Enable building a factory image which can be flashed through the OEM
firmware's web interface. It seems that the web interface requires a
minimum file size of 10MiB, otherwise it will not accept the image.
The update image is a regular sysupgrade tarball packed in a Netgear
encrypted image. The Netgear encrypted image is the same as used in
WAX202 or WAX206, including the encryption keys and IV.
This adds a script which creates the rootfs_data volume on first
startup. This is required since the OEM firmware's sysupgrade scripts
do not create such a paritition. Note that any script ordered after
70_initramfs_test will not get executed on initramfs. Hence this new
script 75_rootfs_prepare won't create the rootfs_data volume when
using the recovery initramfs.
Also, this deletes the kernel_backup and rootfs_backup volumes in case
we have to create the rootfs_data volumes. This makes sure that
OpenWrt is the actual backup firmware instead of the stock firmware.

mtd9: 02200000 00020000 "ubi1"
mtd12: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
```
Use these commands blow to backup your stock partitions.
```
nanddump -f /tmp/BL2.bin /dev/mtd1
nanddump -f /tmp/Nvram.bin /dev/mtd2
nanddump -f /tmp/Bdata.bin /dev/mtd3
nanddump -f /tmp/Factory.bin /dev/mtd4
nanddump -f /tmp/FIP.bin /dev/mtd5
nanddump -f /tmp/ubi.bin /dev/mtd8
nanddump -f /tmp/KF.bin /dev/mtd12
```
Then, transfer them to your computer via scp, netcat, tftp
or others and keep them in a safe place.
3. Setup Nvram
Get the current stock: `cat /proc/cmdline`
If you find `firmware=0` or `mtd=ubi`, use these commands:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
```
If you find `firmware=1` or `mtd=ubi1`, use these commands:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0
nvram set flag_last_success=0
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
```
4. Flash stock-initramfs-factory.ubi
If you find `firmware=0` or `mtd=ubi`:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -y -f /tmp/stock-initramfs-factory.ubi`
If you find `firmware=1` or `mtd=ubi1`:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/stock-initramfs-factory.ubi`
Then reboot your router, it should boot to the openwrt
initramfs system now.
5. Setup uboot-env
Now it will be setup automatically in upgrade process,
you can skip this step.
If your `fw_setenv` did not work, you need run this command:
`echo "/dev/mtd1 0x0 0x10000 0x20000" > /etc/fw_env.config`
Then setup uboot-env:
```
fw_setenv boot_wait on
fw_setenv uart_en 1
fw_setenv flag_boot_rootfs 0
fw_setenv flag_last_success 1
fw_setenv flag_boot_success 1
fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed 8
fw_setenv flag_try_sys2_failed 8
fw_setenv mtdparts "nmbm0:1024k(bl2),256k(Nvram),256k(Bdata),
2048k(factory),2048k(fip),256k(crash),256k(crash_log),
34816k(ubi),34816k(ubi1),32768k(overlay),12288k(data),256k(KF)"
```
6. Flash stock-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Use shell command:
`sysupgrade -n /tmp/stock-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`
Or go to luci web.
If you need to change to Openwrt U-Boot layout, do next. If you
do not need, please ignore it.
Change to OpenWrt U-Boot:
1. Flash ubootmod-initramfs-factory.ubi
Check mtd partitions: `cat /proc/mtd`
```
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
mtd8: 02200000 00020000 "ubi_kernel"
mtd9: 04e00000 00020000 "ubi"
```
Run following command:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-factory.ubi`
Then reboot your router, it should boot to the openwrt initramfs
system now.
2. Check mtd again
```
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
mtd8: 07000000 00020000 "ubi"
```
Make sure mtd8 is ubi.
3. Install kmod-mtd-rw
Run command: `opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw`
Or get it in openwrt server, or build it yourself, then install
it manually
Then run this command:
`insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
4. Clean up pstore
Run Command: `rm -f /sys/fs/pstore/*`
5. Format ubi and create new ubootenv volume
```
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd8; ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd8
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
```
6. (Optional) Add recovery boot feature.
```
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 10MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2 /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
```
7. Flash Openwrt U-Boot
```
mtd write /tmp/ubootmod-preloader.bin BL2
mtd write /tmp/ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip FIP
```
6. Flash ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Use shell command:
`sysupgrade -n /tmp/ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb`
Or go to luci web.
Now everything is done, Enjoy!
Go Back to stock from Openwrt U-Boot:
1. Force flash ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
Use shell command:
`sysupgrade -F -n /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb`
Or go to luci web.
Then it should boot to the openwrt initramfs system now.
2. Format ubi and Nvram
```
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd8; ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd8
mtd erase Nvram
```
3. Install kmod-mtd-rw
Run command: `opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw`
Or get it in openwrt server, or build it yourself, then install
it manually
Then run this command:
`insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
4. Flash stock U-Boot and ubi
```
mtd write /tmp/BL2.bin BL2
mtd write /tmp/FIP.bin FIP
mtd write /tmp/ubi.bin ubi
```
Then reboot your router, waiting it finished rollback in minutes.
Go Back to stock from stock layout Openwrt:
Just run command: `ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/ubi.bin`
Then reboot your router, waiting it finished rollback in minutes.

Installation (UART)
-------------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image on tftp server with IP 192.168.1.2
2. Attach UART, switch on the router and interrupt the boot process by
pressing 'Ctrl-C'
3. Load and run OpenWrt initramfs image:
tftpboot initramfs-kernel.bin

fw_setenv stdout serial@11002000
fw_setenv tp_boot_idx 0
5. Run 'sysupgrade -n' with the sysupgrade OpenWrt image
Installation (without UART)
---------------------------
1. Login as root via SSH (router IP, port 20001, password - your web
interface password)
2. Open for editing /etc/hotplug.d/iface/65-iptv (e.g., using WinSCP and
SSH settings from the p.1)
3. Add a newline after "#!/bin/sh":
telnetd -l /bin/login.sh
4. Save "65-iptv" file
5. Toggle "IPTV/VLAN Enable" checkbox in the router web interface and
save
6. Make sure that telnetd is running:
netstat -ltunp | grep 23
7. Login via telnet to router IP, port 23 (no username and password are
required)
8 Upload OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the "/tmp" folder of the
router (e.g., using WinSCP and SSH settings from the p.1)
9. Stock busybox doesn't contain ubiupdatevol command. Hence, we need to
download and upload the full version of busybox to the router. For
example, from here:
https://github.com/xerta555/Busybox-Binaries/raw/master/busybox-arm64
Upload busybox-arm64 to the /tmp dir of the router and run:
in the telnet shell:
cd /tmp
chmod a+x busybox-arm64
10. Check "initramfs-kernel.bin" size:
du -h initramfs-kernel.bin
11. Delete old and create new "kernel" volume with appropriate size
(greater than "initramfs-kernel.bin" size):
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N kernel -s 9MiB
12. Write OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the flash:
./busybox-arm64 ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/initramfs-kernel.bin
13. u-boot-env can be empty so lets create it (or overwrite it if it
already exists) with the necessary values:
fw_setenv baudrate 115200
fw_setenv bootargs "ubi.mtd=ubi0 console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x11002000 init=/etc/preinit"
fw_setenv fdtcontroladdr 5ffc0e70
fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
fw_setenv loadaddr 0x46000000
fw_setenv mtdids "spi-nand0=spi-nand0"
fw_setenv mtdparts "spi-nand0:2M(boot),1M(u-boot-env),50M(ubi0),50M(ubi1),8M(userconfig),4M(tp_data)"
fw_setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
fw_setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
fw_setenv stderr serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdin serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdout serial@11002000
fw_setenv tp_boot_idx 0
14. Reboot to OpenWrt initramfs:
reboot
15. Login as root via SSH (IP 192.168.1.1, port 22)
16. Upload OpenWrt sysupgrade.bin image to the /tmp dir of the router
17. Run sysupgrade:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/sysupgrade.bin

Installation
------------
1. Download the OpenWrt initramfs image. Copy the image to a TFTP server
reachable at 192.168.1.66/24. Rename the image to tufax4200.bin.
2. Connect the TFTP server to the AX4200. Conect to the serial console,
interrupt the autoboot process by pressing '4' when prompted.
3. Download & Boot the OpenWrt initramfs image.
$ setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
$ setenv serverip 192.168.1.66
$ tftpboot 0x46000000 tufax4200.bin
$ bootm 0x46000000
4. Wait for OpenWrt to boot. Transfer the sysupgrade image to the device
using scp and install using sysupgrade.
$ sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade.bin>
Missing features
----------------
- The LAN port LEDs are driven by the switch but OpenWrt does not
correctly configure the output.

A previous attempt to simplify things went wrong and now sysupgrade
is broken on this device. Fix that.

This new layout is only bootable with OpenWrt U-Boot. It reuses the
two crash partions and expands the ubi partion to the end of whole flash.
Do not use this layout with stock U-Boot!
Signed-off-by: Furong Xu <xfr@outlook.com>
In this implementation, the flash partition layout is adjusted to avoid
modifying the uboot environment of mtdparts. This ensures that the 30M
ubi_kernel partition remains aligned with the stock ubi partition, and
the kernel volume is placed in it. This allows the stock uboot to boot
from it without changing the mtdparts, which is useful for reverting back
to the stock firmware using Xiaomi Firmware Tools. In actual testing,
modifying mtdparts has been found to break Xiaomi Firmware Tools.
1. use ARTIFACTS to generate initramfs-factory.ubi for easy installation.
2. The NAND flash layout is changed to allow for reverting back to the
stock firmware.
3. Before performing sysupgrade, do some cleanup in platform_pre_upgrade
to ensure a clean installation of OpenWRT.
4. Setup the uboot env to ensure that the system always boot, which can
be helpful for users who may forget to do this before sysupgrade in
the initramfs.
New flash instructions:
1. Gain ssh access. Please refer to:
https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/redmi_ax6000#installation)
2. Check which system current u-boot is loading from:
COMMAND: `cat /proc/cmdline`
sample OUTPUT: `console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 firmware=1 uart_en=1`
if firmware=1, current system is ubi1
if firmware=0, current system is ubi0
3. Setup nvram and write the firmware:
If the current system is ubi1, please set it up so that the next time
it will boot from ubi, and write the firmware to ubi:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0
nvram set flag_last_success=0
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi
```
If the current system is ubi, please set it up so that the next time
it will boot from ubi1, and write the firmware to ubi1:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -y -f /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi
```
4. After rebooting, the system should now boot into the openwrt initramfs.
Flash the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin via using ssh or luci.
```
sysupgrade -n /tmp/squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
```
Done.
For existing users of the Redmi AX6000 running OpenWrt, here are the steps to
switch to this new layout:
1. Flash initramfs-factory.ubi
```
mtd -r -e ubi write /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi ubi
```
2. After rebooting, the system will boot into the new openwrt-initramfs.
Log in and perform a sysupgrade to complete the process.
```
sysupgrade -n /tmp/squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
```
