Nvram varibles list?

pk_pcmods

New Around Here
Hi there folks
Just have a semi briked ac88u, any clue about where I can get a full nvram varibles list?
2.4ghz was dead not showing mac_addr. I was able to fix this.
Also realized that country settings was showing E0,changed that too.

But still not working, control channel fixed on AUTO and showing current control channel 0.Dont know how to change this on nvram and Im running out of ideas.

Im sure there is more variables related to my problem. I recover this router from the recycle bin(something like that), was fully briked and very hard to got it running again. I think many of this important variables was missing or corrupted during the break/multiple reflashes to revive it.
So a nvram varible list maybe could be useful to play a little more with this bastard.

I opened the device and looks good inside, nothing melted.

Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks in advise
 
Welcome to the forum.

What about trying the firmware recovery tool. Have a look under Utilities.

Have you tried a simple reset to factory default settings?

Alredy tried friend. Can tell you more. Router was totally totally dead(dhcp not working etc), tried asus fw recovery tool with original fw several times without result. As desesperate solution I tried recovery tool with Merlin fw and bingo, came back to live but 2.4ghz. Once 'restored', tried to flash it back to Ofw to see it helps to recover 2.4ghz but still dead and I came back to Merlin again.

I think 2.4ghz issue its related to any type of corruption where important hw data was missing/corrupt result of the brick and many reflashes(but dont know really)
Thanks again
 
A factory default reset will write back all the default values coming from the read-only bootloader.
