Unlock Jio Router JIDU6101 By Flashing OpenWrt | Full Guide | U Boot & TFTP Method
In this video, we are flashing official OpenWrt onto the Jio JIDU6101 (AX6000) Wi-Fi 6 router.
The MediaTek Filogic 830 chip inside this router is absolute beastly hardware.
We'll hook up our USB-to-TTL serial adapter to the UART pins, interrupt the boot sequence in U-Boot, bypass the factory signature checks, and push OpenWrt directly to the flash memory using a local TFTP server.
By the end of this tutorial, we will boot into LuCI (the OpenWrt web interface) and see this router transformed into a fully unlocked, privacy-focused networking machine.
