bricked

Hello everyone, I’m looking for help recovering an ASUS ROG GT-AXE11000 that is now stuck in a persistent kernel boot loop. I’ve already gone through multiple recovery paths (hardware reset, official ASUS recovery, TFTP, and finally UART + CFE), so I’m providing a detailed and accurate...

I am unsure what happened. I enabled telnet, did putty, flashed while in recovery and now I get a 404 error when I try to go to 192.168.1.250, same error shows if i try going to the debug page. I confirmed that the router IP changed to .250 after doing cmd-ipconfig, I also pinged it and got ttl...

Hello! Someone gifted me a RBR50 system with Voxel firmware installed. I attempted to factory reset using the reset button on the back and following NetGear’s instructions, and now it’s stuck on the pulsing white ring of death. Restarting the router, plugging in the computer, etc. doesn’t do...

This is driving me up the wall as I've followed every possible method that Asus has provided to get this Router Going again. I've got an ASUS RT-AC88U AC3100 I had it working fine and seemed to have been responding fine. In the Asus App on my app i noticed that there was a firmware update...

Here is what I am seeing in U-Boot on boot: Format: Log Type - Time(microsec) - Message - Optional Info Log Type: B - Since Boot(Power On Reset), D - Delta, S - Statistic S - QC_IMAGE_VERSION_STRING=BOOT.BF.3.1.1-00096 S - IMAGE_VARIANT_STRING=DAAAANAZA S - OEM_IMAGE_VERSION_STRING=CRM S -...

Hi all, I recently got a XT8. When turning it on the led just turns white and keeps white. Nothing else happens, no wireless, no ethernet. No reset, hard-reset is possible and also no factory reset because the ethernet port is down. I decided to check the serial console of the router. Can...

Hi All, My Dual XT8 system had been running fine on GNUton's 386.5._2 firmware but the multitude of logging in to the router and seeing notifications on the browser and the app that a newer version was available I finally bit... And there begins the nightmare! I hit the link to upgrade and...

So my router died all of a sudden, well actually it would fail (Only Power & 2.5Ghz Led would be on) then sometimes if left unplugged it would turn on fully functioning until its restarts then die again! This has been happening for a month now. So I decided to check what was happening via a...

I have a bricked ASUS AC3100 router that I have interest in reading/flashing the BIOS with a CH341 programmer and SOP8 test clip. The problem is I have very limited hardware knowledge. I removed the casing and took pictures of both sides. I know I'm supposed to remove the battery and find the...

Need help guys. Tonight my asus app presented me an update Version 3.0.0.4.386.48377 for my main router AX86U and my Ethernet backhaul connected router AX82U. My other ethernet backhaul connected router AX86S did not needed to update So via the Asus app i started the update and forgot about it...

Today I tried to update the firmware on my AC68U to 386.5 and when it finished it told me to finish by manually rebooting my router. This was strange, as I don't think I've ever seen that before when upgrading firmware. I turned it off/on, and now it seems to be bricked. I've tried a factory...

Hey folks - bought 4 XT8's. TL:DR: Tried to downgrade the firmware on a new 2021 XT8 from 43170 to 25790 via the web UI. Did everything is was supposed to but failed to reboot. Now I cant reset it, soft or hard, and cant put it in to recovery mode. When I turn it on it goes straight to a solid...

I have a 2018 RT-AC86U, working flawlessly then bricked, out of the blue with only port 4 dimly lit. Doing research I see this is a known issue. I am OOW and Asus quoted me $130 for repair. I only paid $100 for it brand new with some serious Newegg promos. I put my $130 toward a RT-AX86U that I...

Hi There, I'm one more victims of last Netgear silent upgrade. I wanted to revert back to older firmware, and I started to see strange behaviours. I may have interrupted the upgrade process at some point, but I'm not even sure I did. Anyway, since my out of warranty orbi RBR50 is stuck at boot...

Hello, all, this is my first post in this forum. I read a lot of threads about my issue with no success at all. First, I'm a happy user of an AC87U model, running Merlin firmware well for years. The firmware question and security concerns let me think about a hardware substitution. So I bought...

Hi all, posted this on Reddit but didn't get much of a response, hoping someone can help on here. I bought a RBR50 off eBay, which I knew was not working fully, have managed to get a serial convertor for it and trying to get it working again (I thought someone had tried to convert it and...

Hello there, After quietly upgrading the firmware of my RT AC68U from the 386.2_2 to the 2_6, It is now bricked. What I tried: - Sha is correct so file is the right one - reset/reboot/nvram flush with WPS. Did not worked - enter Rescue mode and use the recovery tool to upload the Asus firmware...

Hey guys I'm hoping you can help me as I'm all out of ideas Recently acquired a RT-AC5300 which i knew was having issues and I'm trying to fix it. Basically it seems to be stuck in a loop and trying to boot, then fails and continuously tries again. So far i have tried the following - using the...

Hi all, I got a broken Asus RT-AC5300 off eBay and after trying all the usual recovery methods (cleaning NVram and restarting router between each attempt as well as trying different LAN ports): Asus WebUI - hangs in all browsers during file upload Asus Recovery Tool - interrupts at around 32...

I've been running ASUS routers for years, and although I'm not expert I've always liked them as I've always been able to recover them from any problem I have had along the way. The hardware has always been reliable which is why I grew into the AiMesh network approach as I moved house and just...
