followed I<3LYN's guide, built padavan's firmware from commit 821f6cd
internet, hypptv, ipv6 works

http://breed.hackpascal.net/

kinda easy actually to build the firmware yourself
https://bitbucket.org/padavan/rt-n56u/wiki/...wToMakeFirmware
just need to get the board profile for MI-MINI since its not included as this model is not officially supported

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8s...Z1U&usp=sharing
compiled from commit d1ac127 if anyone interested
also contains sample config and board profile for this router

MI-MINI board profile folder and content goes here: rt-n56u/trunk/configs/boards/
inside MI-MINI folder, create symlink to libc.config : ln -s ../uclibc-mipsel.config ./libc.config

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

https://bitbucket.org/padavan/rt-n56u/wiki/...%B5%D0%B9%20QoS (in russian, translate to english)

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

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

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

once prometheus started, press C, then y to delete prometheus config
when it restarts, you'll be able to select a different router

my config is for mi-mini, not mi-3
for mi-3, if you're using prometheus, no need to use anything from my google drive
dl everything through prometheus
there is a youtube video i posted previously on how to use prometheus to install padavan on mi-3. its in russian, but easy enough to follow without understanding what was being said
