Should've been fixed in this build, but you should be able to flash the dlink-dir615h-factory-webflash.bin from emergency room and been fine per BrainSlayer. Please ensure you are using a browser in private browsing mode with no extensions loaded, and if necessary, disable firewall and antivirus. I generally use Pale Moon or Firefox ESR Portable; Waterfox Classic is also a known good browser. Also, don't intermingle your webUI access with internet browsing. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

its definitly not the same. here i need more info. the situation before was that the whole build was broken. basicly it was a wrong firmware image. this has been resolved. so a new log / dmesg would be highly appreciated. _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

OK, s'cuse me!
It might be not the same from a technical point of view. But for me as a user it feels like to be the same concerning the behaviour of the DIR-615h.
With Debian 10/ FF-esr I upgrade the FW from 47000 to 47040 (47033). It starts upgrading and at the end only the power-LED is yellow and the LAN-LED(the PC is linked to) is green and there is no access possible via ID any more.
Via emergency room (Power-on while pushing the reset button; power-LED is blinking yellow)/ Win 7/ IE 11 I load FW dir615h-factory-webflash_38132.bin. After having loaded ~45%-50% the LEDs show "normal" behaviour: Power-green, WAN-yellow, WLAN-green, LAN(the PC is hooked on)-green. I wait until it reaches 100%. Then pushing the reset button/ Win 7/ Firefox (IE 11 doesn't work) I'm able to upgrade to FW 47000.
I know the reactivation sounds quite a bit strange but it's the way I get the device back to life.
I'm far away from a "Guru". But anyway please let me know, how I can provide (and how I can get) the info you need.

That's what I did in the past to resuscitate a DIR-825b. Believe me or not: it was very interesting to do that (soldering pins, making a cable serial to USB ...) but it's not really funny to crash a DIR-615h and than to serial to get a log-file not knowing whether it works or not.
From the running status I have screen shots of the tmp/var/log/messages (I can't get into /var/ only /tmp/var/) but I don't think that this will show what BrainSlayer likes to see.

if you get syslog with klog enabled or dmesg output it works. but i question myself if you have access to /var/log/messages the firmware must work in some way. so this is now confusing me. _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

Yes FW 47000 works!
From the running status (with FW 47000 after emergency room) I can see /tmp/var/log/messages.
In the bricked status I'm not able to SSH; there's no access via IP. I think you are interested in messages in the bricked status. But that's what I can't provide.

You can provide logs if you attach a serial adapter and capture the boot log from the serial console like I mentioned already. I don't see how difficult this is to comprehend. You seem unwilling to provide anything other than "it's broken". _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Sorry, in a community I'm not used to be flamed. I try to provide information I'm able to not more not less. But it's hard to read that I'm not willing and I only report "crashed".
So give me the weekend for experiment. I will be back if I succeed.

I wasn't flaming you; I was stating the obvious from my perspective. My apologies if my logic is flawed, but here we are 3 days into this and no logs. Perhaps I am not being patient enough Hopefully, you are successful and we can gain further insight into what the issue(s) is(are). _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Now struggled the whole weekend w/o any success. Obviously I'm to stupid to get it done.
Soldered the three pins GND, TX, RX, linked correctly to the PC, started PuTTY Serial as user as well as root with standard settings 9600-8-1-NONE-XON/XOFF as well as with for H1 suggested settings (https://openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-615#serial) 57600-8-2-NONE-NONE but didn't get any response from the DIR-615.
Sorry not to be able to provide the requested data.

Try 115200, Data bits:8, Stop bits:1, Parity:none, Flow control:none as OpenWRT toh data has been known to be incorrect. Did you verify the pinout with a multimeter? _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
