Update: December 24,2025 Good news!
The OpenWrt forum has merged the pacth which supports the new Flash F50L1G41LC and update the OpenWrt firmware to the version 24.10.5. So if you download the OpenWrt firmware version 24.10.5 or newer version in the future to update the Cudy related models. There will be no problem.
Important Notice: November 24, 2025
Cudy AX3000 series routers manufactured starting in November 2025 (TR3000, SN code start with 2543 or later. 2543 in the SN means the 43th week in the year 2025 ) use the new Flash F50L1G41LC. Upgrading to older versions of OpenWrt intermediate firmware or OpenWrt firmware will prevent the device from booting. Therefore, we will be releasing new firmware updates for these products to add restrictions. If the device is detected to be using the new Flash, it will not be able to upgrade to older firmware versions 2.3.X or earlier. Additionally, previously provided OpenWrt intermediate firmware for older Flash devices will not be compatible.
Affected models include: AP3000 Outdoor 1.0, AP3000 Wall 1.0, M3000 1.0/2.0, TR3000 1.0, WR3000E 1.0, WR3000H 1.0, WR3000S 1.0, and WR3000P 1.0.
Cudy has released the new OpenWrt intermediate firmwares, which have been updated to Google Drive. Please switch to the new intermediate firmware.
Regarding the OpenWrt firmware, we are still waiting for the official OpenWrt forum to release an OpenWrt firmware compatible with the new Flash. Once released, please use the new OpenWrt firmware.
If the SN code is less than 2543. It uses the old flash. There is no such problem.
Warnings
This webpage lists software of devices which support OpenWrt system, before download and install the software, please note that OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Description
- This file can only be used when your router works under Cudy web UI.
- If the router already works under OpenWRT UI, user should restore it to Cudy official firmware first. And then upgrade the router with this firmware.
- How to restore the router to Cudy official firmware? Please read the readme in the file downloaded.

I tried downloading the firmware that removes the signature for OpenWRT from Google Drive, but the router didn’t flash and the lights just stay on. I’m currently restoring it. Please send me the latest firmware update for OpenWRT. The router has new flash memory."
Hi again cudy team.
My bad, I was pretty sure I’ve downloaded the right image for wr3000s, looked several times and took me a while to realize it isn’t. Nevertheless learned R59/R53 error message is true about wrong image. Looking forward to sharing more beneficial content moving forward with OpenWRT on wr3000s.
Dear Cudy team. I want to flash my Cudy TR3000 router (serial number TR30002545, that is, with a new flash memory chip). And I need OpenWRT version 24.10.5. But you don’t have this version on google drive (there is only 24.10.4), which will turn my Cudy TR3000 into a brick. When will the official release “transitional” version of OpenWRT 24.10.5 from cudy? So that I can upgrade/flash my Cudy router? Could you please send me the official version, which is suitable for my model (with new flash memory chips)?
Dear cudy team,
I’ve bought WR300S v1, serial# starting 2531 based on multiple good reviews and OpenWRT capabilities. I’ve followed your suggestion downloading the firmware from the Google drive but don’t succeed. Checking the system log I found the following error message:
Tue Jan 13 16:24:33 2026 daemon.err uhttpd4489: Tue Jan 13 16:24:33 CET 2026 upgrade: Device R59 not supported by this image
Tue Jan 13 16:24:33 2026 daemon.err uhttpd4489: Tue Jan 13 16:24:33 CET 2026 upgrade: Supported devices: cudy,wr3000e-v1 R53
Tue Jan 13 16:24:33 2026 daemon.err uhttpd4489: lede: firmware name error(R59 R53)
Tue Jan 13 16:24:33 2026 daemon.err uhttpd4489: Image check failed.
Same applies for OpenWRT sysupgrade image v 24.10.5
Is there an intermediate version available you can share which allows running OpenWRT?
Thanks in advance
