Help in unbricking

bricked my router and will only boot to

Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP.

Will it work? Who knows, you didn't specify which device it was.

Yeah I tried it, but it does not accept firmware I backed up from other modem and the manufacturer is ZLT don't provide there firmware.

Well, ZLT isn't a supported brand according to https://openwrt.org/toh/start

You could try to write specific partitions to the flash, if the uboot will let you.

Or get a flash chip writer.

Curious to know if you could solve it? As you have rightly said, ZLT doesnt provide any assistance to provice stock firmware.

Yes. ZLT is supported not by Openwrt yet. Wish it happens soon. Would you pls provide some more info on chip level restoration for my ZLT X21G. Already have Serial UART connection establised with root access but finding it dificult to proceed to avoid any damage to Uboot. Router is in Boot repeat and MTD looks as follows. Not sure firmware is in trustos or sml?
