i found out that there was a wrong line in the old config (totally wrong, not a typo) that was differently read by 24.10 breaking the whole interface.
What was that line, so other people upgrading can learn?

i have no access to the router and backup now, but basically:
the interface is a "unmanaged interface" (i have a couple), in the config file (/etc/config/network) these two interfaces were different: both had the "not managed" type and the vlan of the switch they belongs to, but one had another line describing the interface as a switch. Don't ask me why, no idea, also no idea why this was working with 23.05.5, but this broke everything since in this way the interface had no accesso to the vlan.
Removed the line, everything is ok
Edit to add: i want to specify that i always modify configs through Luci, i only go to cli when something is broke, so it was not a faulty cut and paste 
Same happened to me: In my case I got it for 118ā¬ on 11/11 deal, right now is 107ā¬...
I contacted GL.iNet and they told my to advice them when I recieve the router.
WeĀ“ll see...
Is there someone who can point me to the steps on replacing the uboot of this device to openwrt version. I know it is not recommended but I want to get rid of the stock one.
I found this commit but doesn't make any sense to me:

Respectfully... if you have to ask, it's probably not a good idea to even attempt. This question keeps getting brought up and it's baffling to me as the stock uboot works perfect & is extremely easy to operate even for the most novice of users.

I donāt agree. Do you think that the majority knows what to do when they brick there device flashing openwrt? And should that keep them away from doing it?
When the how to is good enough described anybody can do it.. itās still the choice of the owner to do what he wants with its device..
About the original uboot, yeah it works fine, but that is not my reason. I would like to know what software is on my device and where it comes from, something these days that is getting more and more important.

Thankfully, GL.iNet is practically the best vendor in the OpenWrt world.
You can browse the original uboot source here: gl-inet/mt798x-boot: ATF and u-boot for GL.iNet products based on mt798x
Than my next question is. How to verify that that source is also whatās on my device?
Thank you for making my point for me. 
I think many do not, no, and the stock uboot allows these users to feel comfortable in getting their device back online.
As for your concerns about software and its origins, I can respect that and agreeā¦ but in that case, buying a device and then worrying about its software origins is somewhat ācart before the horseā. As has been already linked - gl.inet is quite open about their sourceā¦ which is a rarity in todayās world.

Not really if the Wiki says you can flash the openwrt uboot but doesnāt give an instruction:)

Just overwrite the partitions mentioned in the commit message and if you did good your device will still be alive after a reboot
