First of all you need some files
1. A telnet client (like PuTTY or mobaxterm, cmd and terminal will also work)
2. Some brain and patience
3.files from here HW FIRMWARE - Google Drive download them
4.open tool.exe click on that blank button (it has no label it will help you see status of flashing) select the first radio button select r017.bin and click start (All in chinese please translate using google lens or something I will upload pics though)
5. Wait till all ont led start flashing, look in the window (the status one) you opned earlier once flashed it will show green checkmark (during flash it will show downloading like icon)
6. Once flashed ont lights will become stable (all lights will keep glowing stable) wait for a few minutes (about 1-2 mins there is no fixed timing) then power reboot ont (means replug power)
7. After reboot connect using telnet to ont ip (whatever you are using eg 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.1.1 basically you can check from network settings the gateway ip)
8.enter login password (generally root adminHW or try root admin ) now you will be at WAP> prompt type su then you will be at SU_WAP> prompt type shell you will come at WAP(Dopra Linux)# prompt
9. Test commands and enjoy for root access type su on that dopra linux prompt enter same password you entered while logging in ont.
