Image without libubox and mtd on Archer C6 V3

[hagier]

Hello.

Today I created and installed an image on tp-link. During image creation there was an error for mtd package so I removed it (dumb me) and created image anyway. Now my only chance to connect to router is through failsafe mode. I was very happy that I could do that but now I'm stuck, because I can upload firmware to /tmp/ but I cannot sysupgrade it, since my image does not have package "mtd". I cannot even mount_root, because I don't have "libubox".

Example commands to give you idea:

root@(none):~# firstboot
Error loading shared library libubox.so.20220927: No such file or directory (needed by /sbin/jffs2reset)
Error loading shared library libubox.so.20220927: No such file or directory (needed by /lib/libfstools.so)
Error relocating /lib/libfstools.so: md5sum: symbol not found
Error relocating /lib/libfstools.so: ulog: symbol not found
Error relocating /sbin/jffs2reset: ulog: symbol not found

root@(none):~# mount_root
Error loading shared library libubox.so.20220927: No such file or directory (needed by /sbin/mount_root)
Error loading shared library libubox.so.20220927: No such file or directory (needed by /lib/libfstools.so)
Error relocating /lib/libfstools.so: md5sum: symbol not found
Error relocating /lib/libfstools.so: ulog: symbol not found
Error relocating /sbin/mount_root: ulog: symbol not found

root@(none):~# mtd
-ash: mtd: not found

I don't even know where to start. I would appreciate any help at all.

Tried the web recovery ?

I tried to interrupt booting for about half an hour. Powercycling in different moments of boot process but never got connection to web recovery page. But I can give it a try again just to be sure.

Powercycling didn't work.

As a last resort I tried connecting UART and I was able to start recovery web page and succesfully upload image.
