Does the Brume have a way to trigger a U-Boot recovery process?
I’ve tried the typical hold down the button while powering on approach and haven’t seen any changes in the LED sequence, nor any packets on either of the LAN ports or the WAN port. I’ve tried with just one cable connected.
The Ethernet ports are electrically functional as they show as link up on the connected host.
It’s soft bricked right now, so I can’t easily get any information about the U-Boot version or modify any parameters.
I bricked it mine trying to install a custom OpenWrt image, I was able to get in the U-Boot Web UI pressing and holding the reset button all the time, although I don’t know if it’s the right way.
Righ now I connected via serial port pressing " gl " to stop the booting.

Hit "gl" key to stop booting in 2 seconds
If none of the leds flash you probably will need serial access.
I think I found the sequence when the LED lights up:
Set your computer’s IP address to 192.168.1.2
Press and hold the Reset button and power the device
. the 3 LED will light up then
. the power LED will light up
. when WAN LED light up release the reset button, power LED and WAN LED will light up, connect the LAN cable and go to http://192.168.1.1

not sure if you did “switch_system ubuntu”
I did that when i got my mv1000 and there was no ubuntu installed to alternate boot partition. but it did boot into a luci-gui of openwrt with 192.168.1.1 I did some reading and kept missing the option of waiting for middle light and then waiting for 3rd light to go on. when 3rd light goes on it defaults back to first Os boot of openwrt.
