trix & sil3ntHunt3r

Great stuffs. I'll try them after work.

This the config available from Prometheus tool.

Which option u choose?
It seem we can only select from predefined package. Possible to define our own packages?

Not sure on that. I just add OpenVPN as I did not see the real usage for other config for my need.
Probably you can try to contact the tool author.

Here I share my build with the latest source (1619d13). I'm not taking any responsibility if you brick your router. I just share this for those who like to try.

Only for XIAOMI MI MINI Router

1. MI-MINI_3.4.3.9-099_1619d13_NO-VPN.trx
Config: No VPN, Themed
(tested on my own MI MINI, IPTV not working (probably wrong config)).

2. MI-MINI_3.4.3.9-099_1619d13_OPEN-VPN.trx
Config: OpenVPN, Themed
(haven't test yet)

I wanted to compile the firmware myself last night but I realised that trix has compiled it based on the latest commit.

Been using it since last night and everything works fine.

Thanks for the latest firmware. Using it now. Any tips on how to include QOS on the built?

QoS is unsupported on this firmware
if you really want to, need to disable hardware NAT and configure QoS through command line

Hi, can this works on Xiaomi Router 3?

Saw Padavan build for MI Router 3 but never test it as I did not have the hardware.

MiWifi Mini 3 using Nand Flash, the rest is the same as MiWifi mini 2
Is bleed boot loader available for this model?

yes it does, confirmed just now successfully flashed padavan firmware on mi router 3
download developer firmware from here and flash it first otherwise you can't enable ssh to proceed with the rest of the flashing steps

better use prometheus, as from the progress status, the firmware was split into 2 part and flashed into MTD devices kernel1 and rootfs0

probably i can go through prometheus' script to find out how its actually performed, but maybe for another day

anyway, here's what i found from a chinese forum on how to enable ssh after you have flashed developer firmware

but by using this do we forgo the fixed line service provided?

Hello folks.

Got the latest version of padavan on my router.....got it swapped out for my old one...have a 8 port gigabit switch hooked up to it...wired connections are working fine and getting net as they should but for whatever reason both the 2.4 and 5ghz clients are showing "no internet" after successfully connection. I've looked but I don't see anything I think I need to set...I'd think the wifi connections would auto bridge to the lan unless you told them different?


*update*

Got things squared away. Had a bad default gateway.

Hi, by successfully flashing it, mean that u r now able to connect your miwifi router 3 to unifi, arent u?

yup, working fine. hypptv, ipv6 also works, just like mi mini + padavan

Mind to share a tutorial for a newbie like me?

Did you also install breed bootloader?

Notice any major improvements over the Xiomi Mi mini?

Youtube reviews seem to indicate more flash and 4 antennas but folks didn't notice a big difference in coverage area although it might handle more simultaneous users at once.

Primary Rom is chinese only or at least it was on May 26th when reviewed so Padavan in english would be a good step up...of course you lose the mi wifi app (which IS in english..go figure).

Do you enable smb client in your builds so the router can mount local network storage?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ35zI8W3ns...ix2zecfvmrvxw0k
in russian, but should be understandable to follow
let me know if you need clarification on any part
basically:
1. install developer firmware so ssh can be enabled
2. setup VM for linux (if you already have linux machine, then use that instead. and doesn't have to be vmware workstation, can use others instead like virtualbox)
3. download and run prometheus
4. gain ssh access on router (if this doesn't work, use the steps i gave previously)
5. prometheus to pull source from padavan
6. build toolchain (only needed once, unless there's any update on toolchain source code)
7. configure and build firmware
8. flash firmware

not using breed bootloader, prometheus installed u-boot instead
i'm using mi-mini and mi-3 at 2 different houses, so can't compare them side by side.
but mi-3 replaces tp-link tl-wr1043nd v1, and coverage is much better for 2.4GHz network.
i don't really use the available flash space for anything else, so no comment on that part

previous build, nope
latest (cc58fc3), yes
i've removed QoS since its unsupported and can't be configured from webgui
config file used to build the firmware is also there on my google drive for reference

I guess I'm going to have to get familiar with prometheus assuming you used that also for the MI-3 to build padavan unless you are releasing the version for that also? I ordered one but will take about a month to get to me.

I've read posts that say the MI-3 both does and does not come with an english rom installed. Which was it for you originally?

As for qos...since the user has to disable hardware nat for it to work why not implement the folder with the needed scripts but default them to not run (leave out the lines that actually execute the qos on startup)...then the user has the option for either.

Personally I don't need qos so badly I'm giving up hardware nat...I do wish I could prioritize my obihai obi200 voip traffic...I can isolate it to a specific mac or ip address which is static...even isolate it to a specific PORT on the router if I use some of the op's instructions but still don't see a way to prioritize it.
