HigorOS English WebUI

English-translated WebUI dashboard for Hiveton H5000M 5G CPE running firmware HiGoROS-H5000M-1-26-03-25-02.bin.

All Chinese text in the original web interface has been translated to English. The router functionality is unchanged — only display strings were modified.

Requirements

• Hiveton H5000M router (firmware: HiGoROS-H5000M-1-26-03-25-02.bin)
• SSH access to the router (root)
• scp and ssh available on your computer
• Default router IP: 192.168.88.1

Installation

Step 1 — Backup the original WebUI

Before overwriting, copy the entire original WebUI folder to a backup folder:

ssh root@192.168.88.1 "cp -a /www/higoros /www/higoros.bak"

This creates /www/higoros.bak/ as a folder containing all original files. Verify it exists:

ssh root@192.168.88.1 "ls /www/higoros.bak"

---

Step 2 — Upload the English WebUI

Clone or download this repository to your computer, then upload its contents to the router.

Important: Do NOT run scp -r HigorOS-ENGLISH/ ...:/www/higoros/ directly — scp will copy the folder itself, resulting in /www/higoros/HigorOS-ENGLISH/ instead of the correct /www/higoros/. Always cd into the repo first.

On macOS / Linux:

cd /path/to/HigorOS-ENGLISH
scp -O -r * root@192.168.88.1:/www/higoros/

Example (if downloaded to Desktop):

cd ~/Desktop/HigorOS-ENGLISH
scp -O -r * root@192.168.88.1:/www/higoros/

Note: The -O flag is required because this router does not have an SFTP server — scp falls back to legacy SCP protocol.

---

Step 3 — Fix file permissions

After uploading, set correct permissions:

ssh root@192.168.88.1 "find /www/higoros -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; && find /www/higoros -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;"

---

Step 4 — Apply changes

Restart the web server to serve the new files:

ssh root@192.168.88.1 "/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart"

Or reboot the device if you prefer a full reset:

ssh root@192.168.88.1 "reboot"

---

Step 5 — Clear browser cache

The WebUI uses a Service Worker (PWA) that aggressively caches files. After uploading, you must clear the browser cache, otherwise the old Chinese version will still be served.

Option A — Use a private/incognito window (easiest): Open your browser in incognito mode and navigate to http://192.168.88.1

Option B — Unregister the Service Worker manually:

1. Open http://192.168.88.1 in your browser
2. Press F12 to open DevTools
3. Go to Application → Service Workers
4. Click Unregister
5. Reload the page (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R)

---

Restore original Chinese version

If you need to revert to the original Chinese WebUI:

ssh root@192.168.88.1 "rm -rf /www/higoros && cp -a /www/higoros.bak /www/higoros"

Verify restore:

ssh root@192.168.88.1 "ls /www/higoros"

Then clear your browser cache again (see Step 4 above) and reload http://192.168.88.1.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Still seeing Chinese after upload	Clear browser cache / use incognito window
scp: Connection closed error	Make sure to use scp -O (capital letter O, not zero)
Permission denied on upload	Confirm SSH login works: ssh root@192.168.88.1
SyntaxError in browser console	Service Worker is serving old cached files — unregister SW via DevTools
Router not reachable at 192.168.88.1	Connect to router's WiFi or LAN port first
