Thx for the support
Hi Daniel Does this mean that it will be possible to flash this device without soldering, with ubi like the belkin rt3200? Thank you.
No, that's unrelated. The series just allows to load the MAC addresses and the Wi-Fi calibration data from where the vendor stores those things on this device. That means MAC addresses will no longer be random and Wi-Fi will work with the same calibration as when using the stock firmware.

The ideal WiFi 6 OpenWrt router exists today. As does the ideal WiFi 5 and WiFi 4 OpenWrt router.
But: there will always be a next generation coming soon or is already in early stages with even more promising hardware. 802.11be WiFi 7 draft hardware is already announced: https://www.mediatek.com/technology/wi-fi-7
Fantastic! looking forward to try it 
Hello, is there a way back to the original Asus firmware? If yes, how?
Asus Recovery Great Sometimes it doesn't work, I tested that.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way because it's in the boot loop afterwards if you do it that way.
"Revert to stock firmware:
1: Download the AX4200 firmware from ASUS official website. Save the firmware to tftp server directory and rename to AX4200.trx
2: Connect the PC with TFTP server to the AX4200.
Set a static ip on the ethernet interface of your PC.
(ip address: 192.168.1.66, subnet mask:255.255.255.0)
3: Conect to the serial console, power on again, interrupt the autoboot process by pressing '4' when prompted.
$: ubi remove linux
$: ubi remove jffs2
$: ubi remove rootfs
$: ubi remove rootfs_data
$: ubi create linux 0x45fe000
$: reset
then the dut will reboot,interrupt the autoboot process by pressing '2' when prompted.
2: Load System code then write to Flash via TFTP.
Warning!! Erase Linux in Flash then burn new one. Are you sure?(Y/N)
$: enter y
you will see the follow, hit enter directly:
Input device IP (192.168.1.1) ==:
Input server IP (192.168.1.66) ==:
Input Linux Kernel filename (AX4200) ==:
4: wait for the device run up"
When it was in my boot loop and nothing worked, I turned off the router and tried a second one with the same result. boot loop.
Then I turned off the router and used the Asus recovery tool and installed it according to Asus' instructions.
Taaaadddaaa it worked and the original firmware is back on it.
It's probably not the right way, but if someone can explain what's wrong or not, that would be great.
Router runs but again!

Are you trying to flash a self compiled image?
If so, download a default snapshot build and test again.
it is the snapshot version
Typo with an extra 0 in the tftpboot command?
Error found a 0 too many and thanks for the hint and for it 5 hours on the PC
Hi there! I tried to flash openwrt 23.05.0-rc3 (r23389-5deed175a5) yesterday but did not get past step 2. Here is what I tried:
Setup and tested atftpd: able to serve tufax4200.bin fine.
tested my raspberry pi4's serial IO with another microcontroller @ 115.2k 8n1 - works fine.
Using picocom to intercept the boot process, powercycling the router when I get corrupted / no text from uart (happed often)
The sessions were very unreliable (all <15s), picocom frequently terminated on zero bytes read, IO error or displays nothing at all.
I hit 4 when I was prompted but got asked for a login and password repeatedly until the session stopped. Never got a prompt.
Using input and output mappings for picocom didn't improve the connection stability.
atftp was serving on 192.168.1.66/24, connected to the router's LAN1 port, the log showed absolute silence there.
I also tried the generic flashing method on the wiki using dnsmasq and screen - no improvement.
Today I wanted to capture the boot log using a logic analyzer and only got:

T0: 0000 00B9 [010F]
System halt!
So I guess I had messed up.
Which strikes me as I saw no activity on tftp therefore thought the system was unchanged...
When the device gets power, for 0.5s all LEDs flash up, then the two leftmost LEDs (power, 2.4g) [pcb LED1 and LED5] stay lit permanently. reset/wps buttons have no effect.
I'll try the asus firmware restoration tool next - didn't work. LAN and WAN are silent.
Looks like bricked to me.
Searched the web for the bootlog: As far as I understand, this is code logging some flash parameters.
The cpu halts before jumping to the BL. I see no way to recover from this state other than flashing a rom chip...
I'd be thankful for any hints.
Can I use the firmware for the Chinese version (TUF-AX4200Q)?
I have build up and running as ASUS RT-AX59U which uses practically the same/very similar hardware as the TUF AX4200. In particular the same wifi chip. I tried to get WED running but I have the feeling it is not working.
I am loading the WED by adding "options mt7915e wed_enable=Y" to the /etc/modules.conf
a "cat /sys/module/mt7915e/parameters/wed_enable" shows me a "Y" which implies it is activated, but the CPU load is the same as before when WIFI is under load.
Is teure anything I am missing to add? Anything I need to add during the build process?

Hello, can someone send me a backup of the factory partition?
On my device I can see this in the kernel log:
[ 15.971588] mt798x-wmac 18000000.wifi: eeprom load fail, use default bin
[ 15.978352] mt798x-wmac 18000000.wifi: Direct firmware load for mediatek/mt7986_eeprom_mt7976_dbdc.bin failed with error -2
[ 15.989458] mt798x-wmac 18000000.wifi: Falling back to sysfs fallback for: mediatek/mt7986_eeprom_mt7976_dbdc.bin
Yours seems to be missing the loading of the eeprom.bin.
