Well, I've had my first brick. I've recovered plenty of bricked devices in the past but this is the first one that I actually caused myself. Well, I'm not a newb at this but if there is something basic that I'm overlooking I won't be offended if someone reminds me of what it could possibly be,
I used the 'Firmware update page from the oem firmware, which was version 3.0 something so I used openwrt-19.07.7-ipq40xx-generic-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-factory_30.bin and after waiting for over an hour I only had a power light,. So I cold booted it and since then I've only seen that power light. I do get 3 ping replies in TFTP but can't get it to grab hold of the oem firmware 1.ENS620EXTaddCAPWAP.bin.
I've tried quite a few times; actually bleary eyed from trying tit so many times (I'm spoiled because I usually get routers debricked in the first 2 or 3 tries). I was wondering if I should try to flash a TFTP version of OPENWRT (can anyone tell me where to get those versions?) any other advice is welcome.
Would this router/AP/Bridge/etc technically be OPENWRT firmware version now or just a quasi-proto-brick?
I'm fairly well versed in SSH and Telnet as well as TFTP, so if anyone wants to volunteer their best method I'll be more than willing to give it a go. This is a nice device (engenius ENS620EXT and I wouldn't mind having it back in operation). Well, sorry such a short note, I'm kind of beat from so many TFTP sessions.
