Thank you for the instructions. Even though the device was de-bricked successfully, I curiously did not see logs of any activity. The way I figured the flashing was successful is by noticing the router's lights.

Updates Pop os (ubuntu) 20.04

I need to update this gist because as noted above, there are now some issues:

  1. The default directory for the tftpd server is no longer /var/lib/tftpboot. It is now /srv/tftp. This can be observed in the config in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa. Either change the value in the config or change the directory in the directions
  2. As noted above, there is no output when flashing 😢 . Maybe adding the -v or even -vvv options to the config file will enable that level of logging.

After putting the files in /srv/tftp, it "just worked" ©️, but without any indication in the logs...
