Well not sure what happened but following the advice from here: Help SamKnows SK-WB8 - #31 by frollic and here: SamKnows SK-WB8 MT7621 bricked - #4 by mmstano and here: SamKnows SK-WB8 MT7621 bricked with latest snapshot and all the progress I had made, being able to hit '2' and set the IPs, heck even being able to get to the main SamKnows OpenWRT area where I can mount_root, I can no longer do.
I don't know what went wrong but I have the entire output of the script here:
In it you will see where it just stopped booting the way it had been. I've worked really hard on this, so if anyone is willing to spare some one on one attention on this with me, I would be most grateful. I do not mind putting the work in and I am eager to learn but I have spent a week on this now and read/watched and looked at all the resources directly and followed them as I could. I am clearly not getting something.

I will highlight where things went wrong later.
