Help recovering bricked Xiaomi Mi Wifi Mini V1

Good day everyone. I hope you guys can help despite your tight schedule. I flashed the official english rom on my device while trying to revert from openwrt 19.07 given the unstable wifi. Unfortunately, the device is stuck in a boot loop and the ports (lan and wan) keep flashing. I've tried the following but unsuccessful:

  1. Recovery via USB formatted FAT32 and stock rom renamed to miwifi.bin

  2. Using Arduino for Serial connection, i tried to interrupt the boot sequence so as to get into the first option (Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP), unfortunately, that failed as well. I later learnt the boot loader is locked and such interrupts are not allowed. I have pasted the boot-logs from the serial connection.
