[TG789vac v2] Last stable update bricked the router #1007

Closed Digitalone1 closed 3 years ago

Digitalone1 commented 3 years ago

Description of problem: I updated to the latest stable version. No issues until my router rebooted automatically and now it's not booting correctly anymore. Every time I switch it on/off, it's stuck on a purple flashing light. Can't access to the main page at 192.168.1.1. No connectivity.

What can I do now?

Ansuel commented 3 years ago

@Digitalone1 use the bootp recovery method to reflash the firmware, reroot and reinstall the gui. The old stable had a bug and you were unlucky by rebooting the modem before the updating to the new version

Can you give me a guide to follow? Never heard about this method.

Anyway, if I manage to fix it, I will never update anymore, I need connection for work and can't run the risk to break the router. :(

  1. Download Tftpd64

  2. Download the firmware

  3. Set static ip for the network interfacte that will be connected to the modem 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

  4. Open tftpd64 as admin Settings

Tab TFTP

Tab DHCP

  1. Power off the modem, make sure the ethernet cable is not connected to a wan port Keep the reset button pressed and power on the modem. Wait some time and it will start to download the firmware image if you set up all correctly.

Also about update this was a coincidence, 99% it doesn't brick the modem.

Did it. The router returned to work, but I can't access to page at 192.168.1.1

I tried to login with admin password, but it's not accessing and gives 500 internal server error. Don't know how to get root access and reinstall the modded firmware.

Digitalone1 commented 3 years ago

I think that admin password is correct, but the firmware throws an error and I can't do nothing. It seems that the only way to get root access is giving some commands from the GUI. At least internet works, but not the voip.

I download the firmware from here (Tiscali version).

Is there a way to install directly the modded firmware from TFTP? I don't see an rbi file in the release.

use reset button to reset password and acces the GUI, you can only apply the mod after install official RBI firmwares
