Forces SSH access to be always on, especially after a factory reset.
With this update, dropbear can no longer be disabled by setting the nvram variables. -
Prevent newer firmware from resetting the root password.
Newer firmware will set the root password to be one that is calculated using the serial number, on every reboot. This code has now been prevented from running, so you can set a unique root password once. If you need to calculate the SSH password for your router, you can use the mkxqimage_rev tool. -
Removed phone-home on web UI & via WAN check.
When using the web UI, every button click and form submission will send tracking information back to Xiaomi's servers. It could have been blocked using ad blockers like uBlock, but now it has been disabled natively by patching the Javascript code. -
