Starting To Install <\/p>\n\n\n\n
WARNING!!!!!!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me, anybody, any site mentioned or linked to on this post take no responsibility in any form if something wrong happens<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First off when starting to install you need: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
a USB stick that is at least 8 GBs (to install Linux mint on)
an Internet connection
some patience
Rufus or balenaEtcher (for writing Linux mint on the USB)
a Linux Mint ISO from the official Linux Mint Site (You can use any other Linux distro if you want. I tried it on only Linux Mint.)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To flash the Linux Mint ISO file that you’ve downloaded open Rufus or Etcher. (If it does have do complete the setup)
After that plugin, the USB stick and start flashing (Note that it will delete all the files on the USB stick)
After it finished flashing open BIOS (probably press the F2, F11, F12, or the DEl key while turning on the computer)
Change the first boot drive to USB then save & exit.
When Mint Opens up press the first option (Or live trial etc.)
Then open the terminal and type :
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt-get autoclean -y && sudo apt-get autoremove -y<\/code> \n\nThis'll update all of the components of Linux Mint to the latest version<\/pre>\n\n\n\nAfter that’s complete, type in <\/p>\n\n\n\n
git clone https:\/\/github.com\/acecilia\/OpenWRTInvasion.git<\/a>\ncd OpenWRTInvasion\n\nThis'll download the OpenWrt installer, and go into it's folder\n\nOnce that's done, type <\/code>\npip3 install -r requirements.txt \n\nThis'll install the required stuff for the installer.\n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nAfter that, we run the installer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
python3 remote_command_execution_vulnerability.py\n\nIt'll ask you for a code, to get this code go to your router's local IP. (Default 192.168.31.1) and copy the part in the URl where it says: stok=codecodecodecodecode (without the \/) \n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/keremgurevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ad3b70ca12bc1e1d55a4917e8cef741c.png\")
<\/pre>\n\n\n\nAfter approx. In 45 seconds you should be able to connect to the router.
Type: telnet 192.168.31.1<\/code> and type root<\/code> for both the username and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nWhen it’s connected, type cd \/tmp<\/code> and then curl -L https:\/\/downloads.openwrt.org\/releases\/21.02.3\/targets\/ramips\/mt7621\/openwrt-21.02.3-ramips-mt7621-xiaomi_mi-router-4a-gigabit-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin –output firmware.bin –ipv4 -k<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo check if the file isn’t corrupted, type<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.\/busybox sha256sum firmware.bin\n\nIf both the strings match, then continue. If not, redownload the file.<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nFinally to permanently install OpenWrt, type <\/p>\n\n\n\n
mtd -e OS1 -r write firmware.bin OS1\n\nWe are waiting for it to perform the installation procces and reboot the device. After the process is finished and the device is turned on without any problems, let's get well soon. I recommend that you download the firmware file that we installed on the device above, this time, and after the device boots up, flash it again to the device without checking the Keep settings option from the Flash new firmware image section of the System \u2192 Backup\/Flash Firmware page at 192.168.1.1. This is a recommended event after initial setup. The device is ready for use.\r\n\r\nGood luck with your new router. What happens next is entirely up to you. You can use it freely for many different purposes. For example; You can install and use many useful programs such as SQM, AdBlock, Wireguard, OpenVPN, DDNS, Multiwan, DNS over TLS, and upnp. You can even write a program of your own choice. You are only limited by your imagination.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hi, today I will tell you how to install OpenWrt on Xiaomi Mi 4A Gigabit Edition Router.
