Xiaomi AX3600: help upgrading openWRT 24.10

Hi,

I already installed 24.10.2 in the past as described here. Today, I tried to upgrade to latest 24.10.5 openwrt-24.10.5-qualcommax-ipq807x-xiaomi_ax3600-squashfs-sysupgrade, but the process failed.

The router led, after switching it on, starts blinking orange, than fixed orange and finally fixed blue for some seconds and it reboots (it seems a boot-loop). The LAN led are switched off.

I tried the unbrick procedure, but it did not work. What could it be the problem?

Thank you

Can you show error messsages produced?

Unfortunately, there is not any error message.

You dont have to redo 1st time install, just use sysupgrade or even better owut or luci-app-attendedsysupgrade.

Right, as I wrote in the first post, I installed the sysupgrade, but now I have a problem with the router that is not reachable both via command line and gui. So I tried the recovery procedure that does not work as well.

Likely roaming or dnssec customisations....
Show the sysupgrade command session log you did....

The router enters a continuous boot loop. If I try to reset it, I can access it, but if I restore the previously saved configuration, the boot loop starts again. I can't even manually configure the wifi from scratch because it reboots itself after a few settings. So I'll wait for the next 25.12 update; I think this version has some issues.

OK, unzip the config on the desktop and type back config over luci?
