TLDR:
My new AX3000T RD03 1.0.84 AN8855 is bricked.
UART at boot:
F0: 102B 0000
FA: 1040 0000
FA: 1040 0000 [0200]
F9: 3903 0041
F3: 1001 0000 [0200]
F3: 1001 0000
F6: 102C 0000
F5: 480A 0031
00: 1005 0000
FA: 1040 0000
FA: 1040 0000 [0200]
F9: 3903 0041
F3: 1001 0000 [0200]
F3: 1001 0000
F6: 102C 0000
01: 102A 0001
02: 1005 0000
BP: 2000 00C0 [0001]
EC: 0000 0000 [1000]
T0: 0000 00ED [010F]
System halt!
I'm able to start UART debrick with this command line from my PC:
mtk_uartboot -s COM3 --payload bl2-mt7981-bga-ddr3-ram.bin --aarch64 --fip openwrt-mediatek-filogic-xiaomi_mi-router-ax3000t-ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip && putty.exe -serial COM3 -sercfg 115200,8,n,1,N
(note it's also possible to load this image from UART, interesting but still no ethernet)
But I'm stuck at the TFTP step because I can't join the router by ethernet.
UART output during restore:

I need help from experts to go back to a working state (I have a backup).
Let me know if you need more information to establish a diag.
I suppose I must restore FIT first ? But I'm not a router expert, how to transfert the required file without working ethernet ports (port is up but no data from the router itself) ?
Or I will need to recover my backup with SPI tools ? Is there a tutorial for that ? (I saw this post but @rasorocks didn't detailed which SPI programmer he used and how to plug it. I suppose that I will have to investigate on the 25N01KVZEIR and solder directly on it...
Thank you.
