Yes, I didn't realize that yesterday. Today I did the same process from 23.05 to 24.10-RC7 and it worked OK.
I wonder if we would need to flash factory.bin again after a working 24.10 image released on top of RC7.

hi, I want to share that release also transforms the my router into a brick, I manually updated it as it is written on the wiki. as a result, it cyclically rebooted with a yellow light
I have not tried to install RC versions.

If you already have 24.10.0-rc7, you can upgrade normally to 24.10.0 final. The factory.bin procedure is required only once when first upgrading from23.05.x to 24.10.x.

Word of caution, the site says 24.10 is the current stable, but the downloads are still the files from last Tuesday which will soft brick your devices

Seems just one day after, we get the final stable release. The release notes for anyone who wants to read them:
https://openwrt.org/releases/24.10/notes-24.10.0
Let's get testing hehe
My post directly above yours literally says it's still the same bugged version that some of us flashed on Tuesday.
Can you post the SHA256 of the file from Tuesday?
Have you tried the new files? I was thinking that could be due to some debug flags in the RC's, but im seeing it's only the case for this router, and not for any other router of the same target...
They aren't new files, they're the same ones I used to flash my router last Tuesday and bricked my router. I don't assume they'd place new files with an old timestamp.
Oh so youre saying you already tried the "stable" release before the actual announcement? (Just saw the upload date is from two days ago). I though you bricked with RC7, not with stable.
It soft-bricks device. I have tried. The only big issue here is that Release Notes falsely advertises support with upgrade guide. I bet there will be a lot of those who will fall in this trap

Final release seem to have one part missing?
That squashfs at the end.

At least just by the filesizes, the only model of the same target that varies nearly as much is just ours. No other model varies more than a few Kb from RC7

Used sysupgrade option of 24.10 for ax3200 on firmware-selector for flashing via web interface, got "nice" solid amber colour light... had 24.10-rc6 prior, installed using instruction on the wiki page. Thought if it is 24.10-rc6 to 24.10 release, no need to use the ssh anymore for the upgrade 
Any idea how to recover?
https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/ax3200 - Debricking. I used dnsmasq (TFTP) to load original firmware (beware to use right variant, Chinese or EU) and xmir-patcher to flash OpenWrt. Took about half an hour.

I may have done it this way before, thanks for the prompt answer.
Coming here to report another bricked device upgrading to 24.10.0.
AX3200 (RB01) bought in September 2023, MiWiFi Release 1.0.35 out of the factory, flashed openwrt-22.03.5-mediatek-mt7622-xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6s-squashfs-factory.bin with xiaomi-enable-mesh-telnet.py and 2021 bootloader method.
Tried to upgrade to 24.10.0 following the wiki Flash the factory image using mtd (recommended) method with openwrt-24.10.0-mediatek-mt7622-xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6s-factory.bin, bricked after reboot (bootloop).
Recovered to stock firmware miwifi_rb01_firmware_bbc77_1.0.71_INT.bin (telnet is enabled by default), then tried to flash openwrt-24.10.0-mediatek-mt7622-xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6s-factory.bin the same way previously flashed openwrt-22.03.5-mediatek-mt7622-xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6s-squashfs-factory.bin, because wiki says Procedure for flashing from vendor firmware shouldn't change, bricked again.
Recovered to stock firmware again and flashed 22.03.5, now it's back in working order.
The release announcement and related wiki section should be updated ASAP.
