i am compiling my own version from the Padavan source code for security reasons brows.gif

so you will get the clean version of padavan's firmware with minimum modification (without the chinese addons) for the xiaomi-mini router.

I probly can get it uploaded by tonight or so if there are no problem with the compile process and test runs.

stay tuned.

Updates:
I've compiled my own version, everything is working fine so far, make sure you select the correct Wifi country code (just select any country with 1-13 channels) /channel otherwise it could auto selecting the channel 14 which is not supported in most countries including ours.

yes, you can. You can flash it from any firmware as long as it is the same router.

I want to make sure that all the steps work as in your guide before I flash my Xiaomi mini router. I tested with a TP - Link TL-WDR4300 flash with openwrt. I copy the 2 files to a USB pendrive format with Fat32 and plug in to the USB of the TP Link router. SSH to the router and I issue the command cd /extdisks/sda1 , but it says cannot cd to extdisks . Is there something that I miss out ?
Thanks.

Hi,
After finish flash the ROM and refresh 192.168.1.1, but "Page No Found". When turn On the router, no yellow light, straight away the blue light up. Tried 2 times, the same problem happen. Is my flashing step wrong or anything I done it not correct?
Thanks.

which step were you at?

did you manage to boot into Breed?

are you sure it is "Page not found" instead of other error? if it is page not found make sure the url in your address bar is exactly http://192.168.1.1/ instead of being redirected. access it from incognito mode if you want to be sure.
Also try, http://my.router/

I was at step 10 of your guide. I manage to boot to breed, select option no. 2 to update the firmware. It updated until the bar is complete, then at the bar, some Chinese character says if it do not reboot, you need to refresh. This is where I am stuck. After refresh, I do not get the page, it only show me a pink color page, i forgot the error written there. At the same time the routet blue light is flashing. What should I do now

dont worry, as long as you still can access to breed, most things can be recovered.

how long did you wait after the progress bar reached the end? give it 10 minutes before you reboot.

Please do the step 11 as well.
Also, you should try to access your route from incognito mode

In some cases, some cache that your previous router/firmware left behind could redirect the default page to the wrong url.

Thks for the prompt reply, i waited like 25 mins after the progress bar reachef the end. Still the screen remain the same. Anyway I will try again tonight in incognito mode and keep you inform on the progress.
I was curious why the blue light kerp blinking. Normslly when ypu on the routet, it is yellow then turn to blue, but my case , it will straight go to blue blinking when i turn it on

One more question, if i successfully reboot to breed and do srep 11,i. e reseting the configuration to default, then i rebbot. After rebooting, the gui will be in english to set the settings for unifi, cos now is in breed mode , there is no advance setting as i your guide in the last step

Thanks for all the advice, finally got it connected to unifi with iptv. Use incognito mode, then only can access the router. Thanks again, now trying out and monitor the performance of this router
