## Flash OpenWRT from OpenWRT (!)
Copy the firmware in router's `/tmp`.
Why `/tmp`? Your router has more volatile storage than persistent one, moreover you will overwrite the persistent storage.
So, copy the firmware in `/tmp`!
Next, we will use the `sysupgrade` command. `-v` is verbose, `-n` ask openwrt to erase configuration files (ie. ask for a factory reset).
```
sysupgrade -v -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-compex_wpj428-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
```
## Get root on MimoAP
1. Download a backup from your router firmware
2. Extract it, edit `/etc/shadow`, replace the hash of the `root` user with the one from the `admin` user
3. Recompress the folder hierarchy
4. Import this new archive as backup in MimoAP
5. Run `ssh root@192.168.1.1` (replace with the IP address of your router) and use your `admin` password
6. Enjoy! (But you should really install a vanilla OpenWRT instead)
