OpenWRT 25.12.2 GL.iNet AX1800 install problems

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have GL-iNet AX1800 Flint device and can't install OpenWRT 25.12.2 in u-boot mode.

After loading to u-boot web interface (at the bottom of the page there is u-boot version uboot2.0: 21.08.31) and selecting u-boot firmware with OpenWRT openwrt-25.12.2-qualcommax-ipq60xx-glinet_gl-ax1800-squashfs-factory.ubi this page appears

UPDATE IN PROGRESS

Led turn blue on the device, but nothing happens even after 30 minutes. After opening http://192.168.1.1 web page, there is standard u-boot starting page with select firmware and flash buttons. Restarted device manually (powering off and on) and my previous firmware loaded.
I have tried to flash official u-boot image openwrt-ax1800-4.6.8-1017-1729176012.img from GL-iNet site, it is flashed and rebooted the device. After device loaded as normal with selected official firmware.

Maybe there is another way to flash this device with OpenWRT? I have tried different versions of OpenWRT 25.12.0-25.12.2, same result every time.

Can i look into u-boot logs, what is happening there, why OpenWRT firmware failed to flash, but official works as intended?

Uploading factory image in stock firmware router upgrade page gone well. Now I have OpenWRT on my device, thank you.
