Confirm success installing Mi Router 4A 100M (R4AC)

Hello, i tried many times with fail, but i finally made it.
1-) You need that firmware 2.18.28 (https://bigota.miwifi.com/xiaoqiang/rom/r4ac/miwifi_r4ac_all_c4b35_2.18.28.bin)
2-) If device is bricked, use that zip to debricking while downgrade firmware. mir4ac.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/file/45dc6jhpezw290e/mir4ac.zip/file?) its tftp methode to debrick router.
3-) Than you update version to 2.18.58, you just push bin file with web interface. (http://bigota.miwifi.com/xiaoqiang/rom/r4ac/miwifi_r4ac_firmware_e9eec_2.18.58.bin)
4-)After 2.18.58 with Chinese language rom, than boot debian 10 with vmware (includes gnome desktop). And start scripting. Just same as youtube video guide. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxzEvdDWU_s&t=143s)
Important note, The address you connect to via telnet, while script finishes, and the address you log in MUST BE the same.
i figured out with that methode.
down to miwifi_r4ac_all_c4b35_2.18.28.bin
update to miwifi_r4ac_firmware_e9eec_2.18.58.bin
debian 10 with gnome for run script and login web interface same vmware host.
i tried all versions of invasion, no problem all is OK.
Thanks! Added to the readme

Thanks. Finally got this 2.18.58 on my router. but it's still not working with docker method. I am still getting this error:
Warning: the process has finished, but seems like ssh connection to the router is not working as expected.
- Maybe your firmware version is not supported, please have a look at ........
should i must load debian on vmware and do it with that method?
Alright, so let me add this here. on this version: 2.18.58, it wasn't working (openwrtinvasion couldn't connect to the router) but i downgraded the version to 2.18.51 and boom it worked now. you can get all Chinese versions from here:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> docker run --network host -it openwrtinvasion
Router IP address [press enter for using the default 'miwifi.com']: 192.168.31.1
Enter router admin password: pars@5546@
There two options to provide the files needed for invasion:
- Use a local TCP file server runing on random port to provide files in local directory
script_tools. - Download needed files from remote github repository. (choose this option only if github is accessable inside router device.)
Which option do you prefer? (default: 1)
router_ip_address: 192.168.31.1
stok: 79d3f70d3f345727da02c655278dfd76
file provider: local file server
start uploading config file...
start exec command...
local file server is runing on 0.0.0.0:47807. root='script_tools'
done! Now you can connect to the router using several options: (user: root, password: root)
- telnet 192.168.31.1
- ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -c 3des-cbc -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null root@192.168.31.1
- ftp: using a program like cyberduck
