I've got a Brume 2 on a different continent serving as a Wireguard server (behind a host-country ISP modem that's correctly set to port forward to the Brume 2).
The Brume 2 has been set to auto-reboot every Saturday at 1AM (using its own "System" -> "Schedule Reboot" feature). After the latest occurrence, I lost ability to connect to it via DDNS, and direct IP (which is new).
I also have an ISP app that shows all devices connected to the ISP modem, and the Brume 2 disappeared permanently at the time of reboot.
I've sent a relative, who replugged the usb-c power cable multiple times, resetted the ISP modem, tried to replug the Brume 2 to different ethernet ports on the ISP modem.
None of which helped. As a matter of fact, the LED light on the Brume 2 appears to stay Blue. Looking at the manual, it indicates that the Brume 2 is unable to finish booting.
Perhaps unrelated, but this is coming in just weeks after this Brume 2 randomly dropped its DDNS (it was not resolving), which came back after the device was restarted.
I am unable to access the Brume 2 server until December 2025 to do anything or pull logs, except to ask a family member to travel to its physical location and do extremely limited troubleshooting (rebooting etc.). I read in the manual that the "reset" button also does nothing unless the device completes its booting sequence.
Is there anything that can be done? My only backup is ordering a new device in my current location, configuring it, and shipping it by air overseas for my relative to connect to my ISP router and hope it works ;(
It is running whatever the newest public version was around this August/September when it was last updated and left alone on my home continent where I am not residing anymore
Since the situation is urgent and I have a strong suspicion that the Brume is bricked (as it is not finishing its boot sequence), I have an idea to order a Beryl AX to replace it as a server. Is it possible to set up Wireguard server setup over good cloud?
My idea is, I could have someone come again to connect the new Beryl AX to the ISP router, connect to it via wifi on their phone, and I could explain step by step how to enable Good cloud and have it remotely paired. Which I could presumably use to access the admin panel to set up the new server. I also have remote access to the ISP modem to enable port forwarding.
uboot recovery exists, but I would recommend an alternative device, wireguard server setup is possible over goodcloud site2site, a Beryl AX would be a good replacement.
Thanks so much! Would I need site2site, or can I just guide someone to help me remotely pair the Beryl AX server manually with my Good Cloud account, so then I could (presumably) use its admin panel remotely using the web interface to set up the Wireguard server? I could then see the resulting config to set up my Wireguard client to connect directly.
I own a Brume 2, and I have seen on both global and cn forums issues about the Brume 2 failing to boot.
CN forums have a pinned announcement and apparently R&D are looking into it.
Some people mention the 8gb EMMC fails, interestingly the 4.7 beta firmware has been pulled, and the current beta is 4.6.10.
GL are looking into it with urgency and I am sure they will update us when they've fixed whatever is causing this.
You may want to email support@gl to log the issue correctly and get the Beryl AX in the meanwhile.
I experienced the same issue with mine but after spending a day trying to recover it I was finally successful.
First off none of the published stable builds will flash successfully.... meaning uboot reports a successful flash but after the device reboots it's dead.
I did notice that if I tried to load any of the official stable gl.inet images via openwrt that there is SOC cpu target mismatch error. Seems that the official stable gl inet releases are not configured properly for the appropriate SOC target.
