Hi @RomSand

Could you please clarify? It's not clear what you did and what you're asking for. Is this a tuya-convert issue?

kueblc commented 5 years ago

If I understand correctly, you did not use tuya-convert (because it does not simply erase your flash) in which case this is not the right place to ask. This issue tracker is for issues with tuya-convert only.

I'm also not sure what you mean by "root" your Tuya device as it's not running *nix.

Lastly I should warn you that if you try using stock firmware from another device it will not work, as each device is assigned a unique auzKey.

I have Tuya smart gateway TYGWZ-01 it's based on ralink chip and runing Linux, I tried to dump SPI flash that soldered on the board but accedently erased it. need a good dump so I can recover my device and continue my work... I think there is account information in the gateway that's how it authenticates on the server that's why after resetting the device it suposed to be erased... Thanks.

This issue tracker is for tuya-convert issues only so I kindly request that you move this to a more appropriate forum. I will however repeat my warning for emphasis, you cannot use the stock firmware from another device as each device is programmed with a unique auzKey at the factory, and thus you will not be able to authenticate.
