Bus Error after the installation reboot thing. Mi Router 4a R4AC version 2.18.58

After that I manually rebooted the router by unplugging it then plugging in it back in. Now the orange light is blinking slowly and then blue light blinks then both lights turn off then it repeats.
BusyBox v1.19.4 (2019-07-30 09:47:57 UTC) built-in shell (ash)

Bus error
BTW I can debrick the router with no problems

Had the same issue just recently. It happened that I just used the link from the tutorial and after all issue was with the OpenWrt version. When I picked the necessary one everything was installed successfully. I opened an issue with some notes. You can check, maybe this can help you.
Thank you for the reply @azimut3. I successfully installed OpenWRT on my Mi Router 4a R4AC version 2.18.58 by flashing the MIR4A sysupgrade instead of the R4AC sysupgrade. I still got the Bus Error but after the manual reboot, the router didn't bootloop and OpenWRT was already installed. I got the idea to install the MIR4A sysupgrade from this post https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-bricks-xiaomi-mi-router-4a-mir4ac-100m-international-version/125759/53
Edit: Sorry @azimut3 I didn't see that the issue you opened had the solution already. I ended up spending an hour looking for a solution then I found the forum post, Thank you again.
This seems solved, closing. Let me know if otherwise 🙌
