2022-09-28-1125 release cause Redmi AX6 birck #73

Hi! I'm new to openwrt but somehow after reading some tutorials I got the courage and decided to try it on my Redmi RX6. So I downloaded the 2022-09-28-1125 release: [openwrt-ipq807x-generic-redmi_ax6-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi] [openwrt-ipq807x-generic-redmi_ax6-squashfs-nand-sysupgrade.bin].

I flashed the "factory" one with "ubiformat /dev/mtd12 -y -f" it successfully booted. But when I tried to flash the "sysupgrade.bin" from management page (web), AX6 rebooted automatically and never booted again. I waited for more than 10 minutes and it just kept having the system LED yellow. No wired/wireless connection.

Luckyly I was able to reflash it with XIAOMI's official repair tools so it is not the worst scenario.

Did I do anything wrong? Or should I try a previous release? I will stay on the factory one for now. Any help would be appreciated!

I am gonna assume that you did not follow the instructions to the letter and at least ubiformated the second rootfs partition?

Yes, you are right. I didn't find the proper instruction so I flashed it with instructions of another openwrt image. Sorry for that. ([delete]Could you please give a link to that?[/delete] Never mind, I found it in the official openwrt wiki. Sorry again for my carelessness.) ([delete]Does the second rootfs means the other mtd partition? I have Redmi's stock firmware in there. [/delete]) Is it okay for me to install every firmware update by flashing "factory.ubi" file if I want to keep the stock firmware and mtd partition untouched? I might have to return to stock firmware someday in the future. Sorry for all these questions. I am still a beginner and don't really know where I can find the answers. Thank you for your time. Really appreciate it!

Its rather easy to return to stock FW if you ever want, easier than trying to keep both
