    ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) hard-bricked?

    I cannot find way to flash nand memory using jtag. On OpenOCD there are examples but for routers with NOR memory, nothing about nand. If anyone needs jtag access: J4: TDI 1 TDO 3 TMS 5 TCK 7 nTRST 9 GND 6,8,10 So i think I need reprogram nand using external programmer. I...

    I found jtag on the J4 header. I'll post details later. What I need to do next? I seen using OpenOCD is useful in some cases but my board is unsupported. Any thoughts?

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) hard-bricked?

    Unfortunately device does not go in recovery mode, LAN ports are dead - Windows tell me "Ethernet cable is unplugged" Chipoff or jtag are my only chance? From bootlog i understand is something wrong with "UBI?", what's that?

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) hard-bricked?
