Do what I wrote in my last post.
Seems like TFTP recovery is the only option now, since 23.05.0 can't write to flash.
@Noctambuloide
I've updated the wiki to point to the latest release 23.05.4, so this won't happen again to someone else.

I think I've done what you told me. I downloaded the correct upgrade and updated it from luci, but the old firmware persists.
@dnd is probably right, redo, from scratch.

Ok, I'll try that with the ubiquiti firmware. Then I will do the openwrt installation again. Once the factory is installed, is it necessary to install the upgrade? In the video they do it but I think the upgrade must be a different version. In my case with the factory there would no longer be a need for an upgrade, since they are the same version, is that correct?
Thanks for modifying the links.

If using the factory.bin image installing from the original firmware it's not strictly necessary to do a sysupgrade to the same version.
EDIT: it's also reflected in the installation description here:
https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/common
no sysupgrade step after the factory.bin installation.
You can also check the explanation here about the difference factory.bin vs sysupgrade.bin:

Everything he had done before was stupid. If I had only checked the bin and firmware version in the overview I would have verified that they were not being modified and I would not have gotten this far. Thanks for your comments, I have managed to identify the problem.
Indeed I have solved it by doing a TFTP recovery, installing ubiquiti firmware and reinstalling openwrt factory 23.05.4 and everything is working correctly.
It is the first time I have done TFTP recovery and it is useful for another ubiquiti that I just removed because I lost access.
Thank you very much for your kind help guys.
