Rollback RT-AX52 to ASUS firmware

I recently flashed openwrt to my RT-AX52 but since have the desire to roll back. Is it possible to revert this firmware without using the serial console?

  1. facinstall - flash OEM TRX inside openwrt

or

  1. asus recovery software - Flash ubi_cleaner TRX first and then flash OEM TRX.

I had already tried the asus recovery but the tool didn't recognize the device being in recovery mode. facinstall did the trick though! thank you

added facinstall to the RT-AX52 wiki page.

where can the ubi_cleaner images be found ?

Ask remittor very nicely to create it (I think build instructions are on his git):

ubi_cleaner is just facinstall process automated in a TRX. Going straight to OEM TRX should work; however, the correct fool-proof rollback is ubi_cleaner->OEM TRX.

AX52, AX52 Pro, AX54 are missing from it.

Don't need it, thought it was perhaps available somewhere, and could be linked to from wiki.

No worries.

remittor google drive link + remittor git source + reason why you should not go directly to OEM TRX.

ubi_cleaner TRX only seems to exist for 59u, 4200, 6000, bt8.

short answer: you risk a brick
