Rooting problem

[IxMxAMAR]

I am connected to the router through ethernet during the whole process
So i ran the script and set my password
The device rebooted
I enabled the dual wan, the device rebooted
now as instructed there should be a SSH server on 192.168.31.1 -p 22, but there is not
instead, my router keeps blinking red light and and the is no Default gateway for my router
it assigns me 169.254.169.233 as my ipv4
running these in PuTTy and ssh in terminal, the server refused to connect:-

ssh root@192.168.31.1 -p 22
ssh 192.168.31.1 -p 22
ssh 169.254.169.233 -p 22

since the the instrutions also mentioned adding dropbear -p 0.0.0.0:22 at the end or mwan3.user file, i thought it might be running at 0.0.0.0 but that didn't work either.

Some clarifications regarding how to access the SSH server and how to setup ovsdb-client would be much appreciated.

I don't know what the root access is capable of but my end goal is to be able to change routing mode from NAT to Classical.
and while most likely not possible uncap the 100Mbps plan speed and get more bandwidth.

I am new to this and have no prior knowledge regarding openwrt
I have previously setup basic SSH server to do File transfers on lan and some experience installing linux. that's all i know.

Try this script?

https://github.com/JFC-Group/AF-Customisation/blob/main/scripts/enableRootSSH.sh

I understand that the script gives direct access to root, but i still don't know where the dropbear server is running,

Here's what i did-
Ran the script with the backup file from the IDU it's SRCMJIO_JIDU6401_R2.0.9,
uploaded the backup to the IDU it rebooted once,

after doing this there is no dropbear at 192.168.31.1 -p 22

so i enable dual wan and the DHCP doesn't work anymore it gives me 169.255.169.233 as assigned IP and the ethernet adapter also says that there is no gateway mask which was 192.168.31.1 the JIO idu login page

no luck finding that dropbear server

Okay, have you tried using the firewall.user file instead of the mwan3.user one.

Also note that the script I mentioned above is different from the breeze.sh script (https://github.com/JFC-Group/AF-Customisation/blob/main/scripts/breeze.sh).

[IxMxAMAR]

I haven't manually edited any file at all, just got breeze.sh and did-
./breeze.sh JAF.tar.gz
set the password and salt
upload the new JAF.tar.gz to the restore in IDU
enable dual wan

and I have just come to the realisation that it's not that the dropbear is not running after enabling dual wan, it's just that the Router doesn't boot up after enabling dual wan, the red light keeps on blinking

EDIT=

whenever the router keeps on red light blinking I can only physically factory reset it to get it to work again.
and
I will try this again with enableRootSSH.sh

[jckefan]

As far as I can remember, red light is expected when enabling the Dual WAN because it kinda breaks your internet. I believe that the https://github.com/JFC-Group/AF-Customisation/blob/main/scripts/enableRootSSH.sh is a new script for rooting the IDU. It doesn't rely on enabling the DUAL WAN for enabling the dropbear on your router.

DUAL WAN is off,

this guy asked for the code but there is no answer to this in the next posts...

They must be talking about the /etc/config/led file. However, I never had to edit that file because I didn't have the red blinking light after rooting.

[IxMxAMAR]

`
config ledstatus 'status'
option factoryreset '0'
option wpstrigger '0'
option ipv4 '0'
option ipv6 '0'
option wifi '1'
option currentled 'redfast_blink'

`

this is the /etc/config code now as much as i know the currentled should be green and stable, I don't know the exact variable name

[IxMxAMAR]

Hey can you share your /etc/config/led file code

@IxMxAMAR After reading your entire thread, it behaviour your router showed were pretty normal.

After this point you could have used wireshark or any arp tool to find out the ip of the router as it would be broadcasting it's ip address, look for the router solicitation messages. usually the routers ip would wall in the same subnet of the the ip address you were assigned.

Okay, have you tried using the firewall.user file instead of the mwan3.user one.

@jckefan That file or rather that method of rooting a specific to thoses models who dont have the mwan3.user files. Creating firewall.user is unnecesaary here.

Also if you wanted to just set leds to a specific colour; you can add /etc/mfg/gm_mtc/mfg_led.sh g to rc.local and it would be set to green.

I tried multiple IP scanner tools before coming to the realization that router was simply stuck in booting process, so I just couldn't connect to it. enableRootSSH.sh did the job for me without much trouble.

Yes I did that to fix my led. Thanks for your response
