i'm followin openwrt guide to debrick:

Debricking

→ generic.debrick

Using Serial Interface

Use this if failsafe etc fail..

You need

  • usb 3.3v to serial adapter

  • tftp server (preferably on 192.168.31.100)

  • kernel0.bin (link)

  • stock firmware (link) renamed to miwifi.bin on fat32 formatted usb stick

To debrick

  1. Access serial console (use 3.3v adapter) and terminal emulator such as putty

  2. Flash the kernel0.bin file using option 2 flash using TFTP option in the U-Boot menu

  3. Connect usb stick press reset button and router will flash itself with stock firmware

  4. You can re-install openwrt as per original procedure

i've got the fttp server up, but i'm stuck at the step 2, modifying some parameters in tftp server now i got this:

GOT ARP REPLY, ser server/gtwy eth addr (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
Got It
Got ARP REQUEST, return our IP.
Loading T T T T T T T T T T
Retry count exceeded, starting again.
