OpenWRT compatible build for PLDT R051 (with a catch)

I have found an OpenWRT build compatible for the PLDT R051 (spoiler, di gumagana cellular, router mode lang)

Its from You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. and it's designed for the R05 from Net1 which is somewhat similar sa R051 ng PLDT

Flashable sya using the tftpd64 na ginagamit natin for flashing the R051.
With the same IPv4 property na:
IP - 10.10.10.3
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
DNS - 10.10.10.123

After flashing, magrerereboot sya. Then, once nagstop na yung blinking ng red and blue light sa may second led from the left ay ibig sabihin tapos na ang booting.
Note: Matagal sya magboot. Mga more than 2 minutes siguro.

Then pumunta ako sa 192.168.1.1 and bumungad na sa akin yung Luci interface ng openwrt. It works.
By the way, make sure to plug your LAN port to LAN 1 otherwise di gagana kasi by default itong firmware na ito ay WAN yung LAN 2.
Anyways, gumana sya as a router. WAN to LAN.

Nung sinunod ko na yung guide para paganahin yung cellular connection, di gumana. Yun yung catch. Walang cellular. Router lang.

Eto yung sabi sa guide:

Add cellular network:

  • Go to Network > Interface
  • Add new interface
Name: wwan
Protocol: DHCP client
Device: eth1
config interface 'eth1'
option proto 'dhcp'
option device ‘eth1’
  • Edit again, change tab to Firewall settings
  • Assign firewall to WAN

Upon checking sa ssh using lsusb, Marvell yung gamit nya na modem connected via USB hindi tulad sa guide na Altair yung modem. Base sa research ko, di ko sure kung tama ay RNDIS daw yung protocol na ginagamit ng Marvell modem connected via USB. Not sure on how to make it work kasi di naman ako expert sa OpenWRT.

Pero atleast kung gusto mong gawing router yung R051 mo pwede na rin. Don't expect a lot lang kasi 2.4GHz lang Wi-Fi nya.

If may mga experts dyan na willing kalikutin ito, you can try figuring out yung cellular connection.
I think the last attempt na nakita ko for putting OpenWRT sa R051 ay ito:

PS: I tested it sa v008 na meron ako dito.
 
Note: No need for USB to TTL para maflash ito. TFTP lang ang need.
Atleast sa experience ko ha, di ko sure sa inyo.
