Thanks again, I'll follow your suggestion. By coincidence (or not), build 25.12.0-RC1 is available today.
I haven't commented in a while and I see there are some new developments. I'm going to try 25.10.0-rc1 to see how it goes.
For now, I can confirm that after 47 days without rebooting, the router is working perfectly.
I have a question. Do you know if we need to reinstall the new version of ubootmod-preloader.bin and ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip? If so, do you know if it can be done with the current firmware or only via TFTP?
Thanks
No juggling required. I upgraded from snapshot to RC1 without problems, just following @who_what8's guidance (backup, flash without retaining the current configuration, restore). Reinstalling ubootmod-preloader.bin and ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip was not necessary.
Hi, I already updated and didn't have any problems. I didn't save any changes either.
Although I took a risk and installed ubootmod-preloader.bin and ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip before updating to the new version. Everything went well. I followed the procedure on the wiki and didn't need to use tftp.

I received my W6x a little over a week ago, tested it for a few days before opening it, and yesterday finally decided to install OpenWRT on it.
I used the UART from my Raspberry Pi 3, but it only shows:
00: 1012 0000
F9: 0000 0000
L0: 8005 0000 [0001]
01: 102A 0001
02: 1012 0000
BP: 2000 00C0 [0001]
EC: 0000 0000 [1000]
T0: 0000 00B9 [010F]
System halt!
After that, I can no longer start it, and I simply did not modify anything.
I tried the debrick procedure, but without success:
mtk_uartboot - 0.1.1
Using serial port: /dev/ttyS0
Handshake...
thread 'main' panicked at src/bootrom.rs:28:18:
failed to write to port.: Custom { kind: TimedOut, error: "Operation timed out" }
note: run withRUST_BACKTRACE=1environment variable to display a backtrace
Is there any other way to recover it?
Correct voltage ?
Connected Vcc ?
The Raspberry Pi's UART works with 3.3V, however, I only connected GND, TX, and RX.
Are you sure it's not 1.8v ?
Everywhere I look it says 3.3V, maybe I damaged my router…
No idea, the Openwrt pages doesn't say, at least I haven't found any info about voltage.
Plug and unplug the router 6 times and it works again….
I just figured it out myself the router has the boot failure counter that needs resetting… I tought I was going nuts for days till just now….

@who_what8 please add it to wiki
Interesting now…. It doesn’t boot at all… somethings weird with this…. There’s no light and no serial output
I currently do not have physical access to the device, but based on my notes, I have not seen flag_try_sys1_failed present anywhere. Can you confirm this behavior?
I assume this is on stock layout since ubootmod layout replaces uboot and it wouldn't have that functionality.
