To determine whether the U-boot is locked, look at the stock firmware version number. Version Status below 0.9005 Unlocked 0.9005 - 0.9006 Locked but can workaround 0.9007 + Locked For unlocked u-boot, flash the firmware via tftp. For versions between 0.9005 and 0.9006, download http://www.iptvfans.cn/hiwifi/HC5661-9005-downgrade-ssh.zip, unpack and flash the image via tftp. This is a factory image with SSH enabled, login with root:admin and flash OpenWrt with sysupgrade. For locked u-boot, you have to follow HiWiFi's official unlocking procedure. Unfortunately, most steps require some knowledge about Chinese language.. If you live in China, with a Chinese cellphone number. Register a HiWiFi account at www.hiwifi.com, and add your cellphone number to the account Bind your device to the account, login into app.hiwifi.com. At the bottom of the router information page, there is an “Advanced” section, clicked and choose to enable “Developer Mode” Follow the instructions When “Developer Mode” is enabled, go to the app market, there is now a “Developer Mode” app in the marked, install it, and you get a working SSH on port 1022 Flash Layout 0x000000000000-0x000000030000 : "u-boot" 0x000000030000-0x000000040000 : "hw_panic" 0x000000040000-0x000000050000 : "Factory" 0x000000050000-0x0000001b0000 : "kernel" 0x0000001b0000-0x000000fd0000 : "rootfs" 0x000000ce0000-0x000000fd0000 : "rootfs_data" 0x000000fd0000-0x000000fe0000 : "hwf_config" 0x000000fe0000-0x000000ff0000 : "bdinfo" 0x000000ff0000-0x000001000000 : "backup" 0x000000050000-0x000000fd0000 : "firmware" OEM installation using the TFTP method → generic.flashing.tftp Specific values needed for tftp Enter values for “FILL-IN” below Bootloader tftp server IPv4 address FILL-IN Bootloader MAC address (special) FILL-IN Firmware tftp image Latest OpenWrt release (NOTE: Name must contain “tftp”) TFTP transfer window FILL-IN seconds TFTP window start approximately FILL-IN seconds after power on TFTP client required IP address FILL-IN Upgrading OpenWrt → generic.sysupgrade These are generic instructions. Update with your router's specifics. LuCI Web Upgrade Process Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI Wait for reboot Terminal Upgrade Process If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line. There are two command line methods for upgrading: sysupgrade mtd Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing. sysupgrade Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands: cd /tmp wget http://http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc sysupgrade /tmp/xxx.abc mtd If sysupgrade does not support this router, use mtd. Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands: cd /tmp wget http://http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc mtd write /tmp/xxx.abc linux && reboot Debricking → generic.debrick Failsafe mode → failsafe_and_factory_reset Basic configuration → Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
