Hi,
I've bought a used WR3000P v1. Someone already flashed OpenWrt on it as overview showed:
Model: Cudy WR3000P v1 (OpenWrt U-Boot layout)
Firmware Version: OpenWrt 24.10.5 r29087-d9c5716d1d / LuCI openwrt-24.10 branch 25.340.26705~d88390b
Kernel Version: 6.6.119
When I tried to update to 25.12.2 version, after downloading firmware file for WR3000P from firmware selector, it showed:
Image check failed:
upgrade: Device cudy,wr3000p-v1-ubootmod not supported by this image
upgrade: Supported devices: cudy,wr3000p-v1 R57 invalid sysupgrade file Image check failed.
After searching for a solution on this forum and online, I came across this PR. There was a link to yandex.disk where I downloaded 25.12.2 version called openwrt-25.12.2-mediatek-filogic-cudy_wr3000p-v1-ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb and flashed it.
I'm not sure did I made a mistake flashing this file, but Wifi got disabled, so I thought I bricked it. Luckily, after connecting it to LAN port, web UI showed up, so I enabled WiFi again. Overview was showing 25.12.2 version, but the connection wasn't that great since websites were not loading from time to time.
Both Cudy and ISP's router had 192.168.1.1 IP address, so I wanted to switch Cudy to 192.168.0.1 in order to separate them. I did the same thing before the update to 25.12.2 and it worked with no issues. Now, after I did it, I can't access web UI neither on 192.168.1.1 nor 192.168.0.1. SSH doesn't work either. I tried with static IP, but no luck.
At this point I'm not sure what went wrong and what to do anymore, so I decided to try going back to stock firmware and follow Cudy's guide..
The procedure doesn't work, as nothing happens after turning the router on while holding the reset button. I saw some user having the same problem with WR3000S and the support replied him:
"You've modified your router's U-Boot. Restoring it via tftpd won't work. You can try searching for a recovery method online. We don't currently have one."
As I don't want to break this device completely, can someone tell me which recovery procedure to do from here? Also, what I did wrong? Because if I manage to recover this router, I would like to install and use OpenWrt again.
