Am trying to use GL-iNet MT3000 Beryl AX.
Can someone please clarify which file, from within what seems like device's UBoot, should be flashed to clear GL-iNet original vendor OpenWRT fork firmware and get 23.05+ / latest OpenWRT official running from clean slate configuration etc?
What about overwriting UBoot itself?
Would like to have basic/essentials LuCi / Web etc.
Openwrt seldom touches u-boot.
Just throw a sysupgrade image into the upgrade page and don't keep settings.
Problems arise after doing that...
So should I use U-Boot to do the flash? If so anything more I need to know, which image to use for it, there?
How about compiling U-Boot myself and overwriting it on this device?
Describe those.
What does the wiki page say ?
It's probably doable, but if you get it wrong, you've bricked it.
@frollic @Hyperkern
the uboot webui seems to be included in the Gl-firmware image and not in the uboot partition in some weird way.
This means you can flash the mainstream OpenWrt sysupgrade image and all will be well, but you will overwrite the webui part of uboot.
You can even flash back to the Gl-firmware but do not get the webui bit of uboot back.
AFAIK you can still use the uboot tftp after this.
It has been a while but as I recall it seemed like there were remnants of GL-iNet customisations after the initial 'sysupgrade'.
I'm fairly sure it is most certainly doable. Anything is possible, what is the nature of the "probably doable" ?
You mention "bricking" the device. Is that due to a lacking Mediatek tool to "unbrick"/factory partition? Just the U-Boot console being made readily available in the hardware?
I thought you marked this thread as solved?
Time and skill set. You'll probably need to build it from source by yourself, and you only get one chance when you flash it.
Never seen a device with multiple/back up boot loaders, if you get it wrong, you'll need a flash writer to recover.
