hello,
I have tried to install the 24.10.0 firmware, but now the device is in a reboot loop.
I have tried all recovery options, and was not able to stop the boot loop. None of the OpenWRT and official Asus recovery has worked for me.
A previous sysupgrade from 23 to 24 worked as, the router booted. But I decides to roll back due to some errors and bugs, like high latency an connectivity issues in the wifi and LAN.
Does anybody does have any hints?
Did you got back to stock between the successful 24 install and the current boot loop install? Wondering if U-Boot got you.
@Lars Any news?
On my first try, I had 23 "successful installed", and then upgraded to 24 without bricking the router and got some bugs in latency and packet loss. So I decided to go back to 23 without install the Asus stock firmware.
At the second update, the router updated from 23 to 24 with a .bin firmware image which resulted in a brick.
I have tried to install the Asus recovery tool. A ping to the router was possible. The recovery tool reported a sucessful recovery. After power cycle I am still in a boot loop. Also different tests with OpenWRT (bin and trx) and Asus native firmware gave no difference.
What do you mean with U-Boot?
Do I need to buy a 3,3 Volt serial to USB adapter to get the router back?
I think you got bitten by the newer U-Boot 2022.10 bootloader (factory firmware updates to that from 2022.04 since around September 2024). There's more info how to recover here (just need to adjust from AX4200 to AX6000): ASUS AX4200 bootloop after upgraded from 23.05.4 to snapshot build
remittor's files are in his google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1c10G1LZuTiCo8dOItq3FV6A3-XK7-QfV
I have tried to boot the router in the recovery mode and install the fixed trx.
But, now I get some few pings after the recovery mode started and the Asus recovery tool is not able to connect and upload.
Edit: After set the speed on the PC fixed instead full duplex, I was able to upload the images.
Not any of the fixed images (OpenWRT 23 bin / trx) or OpenWrt 24 trx worked for me. The router still boots in a loop every 10 to 12 seconds.
Tests with the newer and older Asus stock firmwares did not changed anything.
Has anybody an idea how I can fix it?
Should I buy a serial console an try it with a serial console?
@Lars have you tried loading @remittor’s UBI cleaner and going back to stock before trying again? I read that worked for someone’s AX4200 or AX6000.
What excatly do you mean with the UBI cleaner?
I have tried to install the images for the AX6000 from remitors google drive.
Thank you very much for your help!
Found the cleaner in the links offered from remittor and was able to install stock firmware via the cleaner.
After this I was also able to upgrade to 24.10.1.
So far so good...
Sometimes I got a extreme high latency and packet loss again. Had this also before the router was bricked, and decided to go back to 23.
