I found below solution in this thread, can you please tell me a TFTP server for Widnows which I can use for this.

Flashing
For the specific uBoot (U-Boot 1.1.3 (Sep  1 2012 - 08:34:08)) in this particular clone, the procedure for flashing is fairly straight forward.
Setup a TFTP server on a PC with the IP address 10.10.10.3 and name the sysupgrade.bin file as "Kernal.bin".
Power off the router.
Connect the router to the PC ethernet port directly.
Hold down the reset button whilst turning on the router.
Release the reset button 1-2 seconds after turning on the router.
The router should transfer the "Kernal.bin" file with the IP 10.10.10.123 and flash it then automatically reboot.
The blue LED should light up briefly when it restarts. The green LED should blink during boot and then stay on continously once it has booted.

hi,all
I have two Hame A1 in hand and both are 4MB/16MB flash and sdram.
I tried to compile the ralink SDK to it.
The USB is ok, thanks to you guys's awsome job on the figuring out the gpio.
The wireless AP can be connected.
The problem is when I tried to do the SiteSurvey on the wireless card, it got nothing.
I would like to configure it to ap-client mode. But if no SiteSurvey available, it won't work.
Please everyone, any thoughts would be grateful. Many thanks.

HI,
one month back I bought "M1 Mini3G Wifi Router" from aliexpress and I upgrade the firmware "EDT-V9 WCDMA & EVDO Version" from here: http://www.edtv8.com/English/html/9548173136.html
firmware is same as M1 Mini3G Wifi Router but its using build-on SIM functionality. I thought its new upgraded firmware version and I will be able to use (4G) Wimax greenpaket UH350 RNDIS based device while plugin as USB on my M1 Mini3G Wifi Router but After firmware update I lost USB option in setup and I also can't use 3g usb device.
Does any one have original firmware of M1 Mini3G Wifi Router?? If have please share the link. or help me to run Wimax greenpaket UH350.
Thanks

Hi All,

can someone help me with building a sysimage to my A1 clone (4M/16M)? I've successfully changed the original FW to openwrt and now want to upgrade it with sysupgrade from a custom build FW. Unfortunatelly I cannot build a sysupgrade image from 14.07. The "make" runs successfully, but I'm not getting a "-sysupgrade-*.bin". The files I get:

-rw-r--r-- 1 viper viper  665 Nov  7 15:13 md5sums
-rw-r--r-- 1 viper viper 4.3M Nov  7 15:13 openwrt-ramips-rt305x-mpr-a1-initramfs-uImage.bin

How can I build an image which can be used with sysupgrade?

I had this problem, because my sysupgrade was bigger than 4M so it won't be generated. 
Try to remove something and build again.
Or do as i did, begin with a clean build and put more features 1 by 1 til you find your max.

I tried flashing it with this method and it didn't work either, it didn't even established a connection.

Can't access the damn thing in any way. Through ethernet when I try to connect it, it won't find an IP. When I create one manually like 192.168.169.2 there are bytes sent and received but whan trying to access 192.168.169.1 to go to the config page it won't open anything.

Can't connect the stupid thing through wifi either because 12345678 won't work and there is no sticker or mention of another wifi key anywhere.

The only solution is to reflash new firmware and I can't do it either, I think I'm just going to throw it to the trash.

Thanks, that did help! I wonder, why there isn't a warning for that

The strangest thing just happened, I was resetting my unit but the battery was low, it died while the light was flashing, I thought I might have bricked it, to my surprise when I plugged it to charge and turned it on, the wifi SSID showed up as 3GWi-Fi_B4E2 instead of NEWPOSTECH_B4E2, and this time wifi key 12345678 worked and now it is working perfectly.

Its so odd, it's like the vendor had put in some custom firmware and by interrupting the reset process it reverted back to the original firmware somehow.

I was really about to give up and throw it away, glad I didn't.

Hello all. I got a couple of those devices in order to install openwrt on them. I tried updating the uboot in order to support 32MB of RAM. Both devices came with 32MB chips. The update took place over TFTP using the uboot menu. The update was succesfull, according to the message displayed (.Done) but the device was bricked :-

   On the second device, I flashed an openwrt image first. Everything worked fine, but I still have 16MB of RAM. I need to update the uboot now. Couldn't do it through mdt write <image> u-boot. Probably, wont work through TFTP, like before.

Any ideas on how to update uboot?

Hi,

where did you order it from? I only got 16MB devices

Upgrading the u-boot: try this

uboot128.img is for the 32MB devices, uboot.img is for the 16MB devices, if I remember correctly.

I got them from eBay. This is the device.
I checked the SDRAM IC and I find out that they were 32MB RAM chips.

I can't follow the steps in that link, since I need shell access on the device in order to mtd write the bootloader. The latest devices run a "BoC Router" shell which is a restricted shell. I also tried the TFTP method but the first device got bricked.

After flashing an OpenWRT that has the mem=32M in the kernel command line I was able to see the whole (32MBytes) RAM. So, it seems there is no need to update the u-boot anymore on those devices.

Hello,

I have bought a HAME A15 clone to use the integrated USB host to control my Neato Botvac Robot.
So far, I have succeeded in packaging and flashing my own OpenWrt image but am stuck at properly configuring the wifi.
Ideally, the A15 would just be just like any other client device getting its ip via dhcp, so I tried to configure it in 'sta' mode. My config files are attached.
Although the ifconfig looks good to me and the A15 gets an ip address from my dhcp server, I can't ping or telnet it nor can i ping the main router from the A15. the /etc/config/firewall is empty, so i guess no firewall restrictions apply.
Can anyone give me a hint what I am doing wrong?

Hi guys.

Anyone have the stock firmware for the MPR-L8 2.1.3.8 or know where I can find it?

Best regards.

Hi guys,

I have a clone of hame mpr-a1 same as this one "http://my-embedded.blogspot.com.au/2014 … 5350f.html"

I'm trying to upgrade the flash from 4mb to 8mb(W25Q64FVSSIG) any help would be great.
I really like the size of the router would be great to upgrade the flash.
block mount is great , but I'd prefer to keep the USB port for other devices.
I have a CH341 USB programmer in hand.

Is there a way to expand the size of the firmware from 4mb to 8mb?
The closest firmware I could find is MPR-A2.

Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Where did you buy the Flash chip? How much was it? I was planning the same, but considering that the TP-Link WR-710N is not that expensive and includes power supply, 8M/32M maybe it's not worth doing it.

BTW, you can build a custom firmware anytime with openwrt buildroot - it's pretty easy. Actually it took me a while to build an image smaller than 4MB..

My Experiments with HAME MPR-A1 Clone

The Board Silk screen print states "APC_A100_SOP16 REV 1A"

It was a litle bit tricky to identify where were the TX/RX pins but finally got them:

The Board Has 32MB RAM

MPR-A1 16 megabyte flash chip upgrade

In my case , I do expand MPR-A1 firmware to 16 megabyte flash , moded uboot --to recognize  W25Q128BV flash chip-- and moded CHAOS CALMER (Bleeding Edge, r44233) firmware --to utilize full rootfs--.

My trick is to a make new profile for MPR-A1 16MB flash version named MPR-A3 by creating new dts file.
We don't have to touch MPR-A1 dts file for further use.

@v1per, sorry for the super late reply just came back from overseas, I got it of ebay for around 5$ for 5pcs (chinese stock).

@saturn-b, thank you so much for your help, I'll definitely give it a try very soon.
the device is very stable I had it on for 1 month while overseas, with no prob.

anyone have any idea if I could install a pigtail (external antenna) or even upgrade the RAM to 64mb maybe, would be cool to serve as tor transparent proxy.

Hello All,

I think I bricked my original Hame MPR-A2.
I tried to install using the method in the Wiki (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/hame/mpr-a2)

I have installed the initramfs-uImage.bin, but I cannot install the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.

Logs say:

Anyone got a suggestion of what to try next? Thanks in advance!

Bought 2 of them last October in Shanghai, and one of them being faulty at the microUSB port, I flashed with OpenWRT, an image I made myself. Works great, except the antenna, it is so poor the conection.

Anyone knows about the free GPIO?

I have traced out the GPIOs for a seemingly similar device here http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/unbranded/a5-v11 - if you want to trace yours, I used this method: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/hardware/po … on_the_pcb
