hello everyone, i bricked my wrt1200ac a while back when i flashed ddwrt to it. the accessing the second partition via on/off power did not work so i gave up and put it away. now i have some time to work with it. can you guys tell if it is recoverable by looking at the following log?

USB3.0 0: Host Mode

You need to interrupt autoboot with a keyboard press to get into u-boot environment then you can serial flash with TFTP.

Yes as long as the drivers are happy and don't connect the 5v line (red).
