I am trying to flash the openWRT firmware on my S1300, I did everything accordingly to the this:

GL.iNet GL-S1300

GL.iNet GL-S1300 Under Construction! This page is currently under construction. You can edit the article to help completing it. The GL.iNet GL-S1300 (Convexa-S) is a compact Gigabit Wireless Router and IoT hub featuring a quad-core ARM CPU, 16MB...

But I am unable to install the openWRT and also I cannot install the original firmware now. Not sure if I bricked the device or am doing something wrong.

Sure, it’s something very stupid, after flashing multiple times without success to access Luci interface, I swtiched the RJ45 cable from wan to lan and it worked. I was doing the whole thing from another person’s pc, a chromebook, not sure why I was unable to access uboot from my linux machine…to make the long story short, I was trying anything different from what was not working with my limited knowledge.

I see. It is problem of some pc’s Ethernet card is not compatible. Some pc never worked. Changing one may just work.
