Unbrick Beryl AX GL-MT3000 router

Technical Support for Routers

I seem to have bricked my router when trying to update the firmware using the panel interface
I have followed the unbricking webpage and uploaded the firmware to the router - it uploads ok, says it is installing and then gets stuck on the reboot of the router. The window states Upgrade Complete - but nothing happens - the circle keeps going around for hours and the light on the front of the router just flashes blue
using U-Boot 2022.07-rc3 (Nov 23 2022

should I reinstall U-boot - and where could I get this from?

You can't reinstall UBoot as far as I know. Light flashes when there is no WAN connection. Close the webbsroser and power cycle the router. Disconnect LAN cable and set IP to Auto on your computer.

Which firmware did you flash it with?

openwrt-mt3000-4.6.9-1030-1730284273.img

There is an option 192.168.1.1/uboot.html

This gives you the choice of uploading a boot file

I have powered off and on and following the rest of your instructions, the router is back working again. Now for the hit and miss of restoring my old configuration>

Thanks

Restoring the old config after you bricked the device isn't recommended - as long as you can't verify that your old config isn't the issue itself.

Do NOT restore your old configuration, you need to set up all settings manually.

By restoring, I meant adding the settings one by one!

All fine now. I was confused by the message that said the router was rebooting - when in fact, it had rebooted many minutes before - I was loath to switch it off, fearing that all would be lost again. Perhaps a message to say all finished and good to go would be helpful!

Thanks to all for your help. Much appreciated

Unfortunately these routers done have such a message when using UBoot, but it needs to have it like many other routers.
