[SOLVED] RB941-2nd bricked after package upgrade

Hi

Be extra careful with updating!

After update packages via luci and rebooting my device is... down.

Router: rb941-2nd

No any possibility to connect via ssh or telnet.

Hard reset won't work.
No ping.
Just some answer:
192.168.1.255 request Announcement USER1 (browser protocol)
192.168.1.255 name query NB (nbns protocol)
192.168.1.2 (source ip) ICMP Host unreachable.
224.0.0.252 (LLNM protocol) standard query 0x023d,0x050e,0x9d75
192.168.1.255 (NBNS protocol) NB ISATAP<00>

Method of hard reset: quick pressing reset button and long (10-20 sec). All ports 1(wan) and 2-4(lan).

Anyone know how to solve it?

#openwrt bricked router

updating what, from what ?

try https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/rb941-2nd#run_openwrt_in_ram

Updating? Or upgrading packages?

packages via luci

that can be a bad thing, depending on what openwrt version you were running, and how/what you did.

Right...but did you update packages, or upgrade packages?

Big difference.

I don't remember exactly.. 19.07 may be

Still haven't answered the question on updating or upgrading packages...

Describe the steps you did in LuCI.

usually I use opkg update via ssh. At this time via luci... It wasn't upgrading OpenWrt firmware.

doesn't seem to matter though, since the device's dead ...

perhaps we should focus on the recovery ?

Yes, recovery will be great. I think it's alive. But no connection.

For future reference...

OK -

Not good -

That's why it bricked.

See the above screen shots.

Try to restore the original firmware using an older version of netinstall.
