Found it myself. Commands:

setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.3
setenv serverip 192.168.0.5

tftpboot img2.bin
nand erase 0x1340000 0x3000000
nand write 0x44000000 0x1340000 0x3000000
reset

Serverip is the ip-address of your computer and (also) the ip-address used in tftpd server.


Hello,and you can write more. After we connected the router to the PC, we need to connect via tftpd,and how to fill the img2.bin on router?
Write the points, what would my grandmother could do it.

Did you make the img2 file from the orginal firmware (download) and do you have connection to the router with a usb-ttl adapter ?

No, I'm in another city, my grandmother will do it herself.

On the official website Asrock there is a file GPL, it has an img file, will it fit? Or do you need to take a whole firmware file and just rename it to img2?

Hello,
I'm glad that your experience with this router helped me to recover my g10 router. What I did was changed from asrock firmware to dd-wrt - then I upgraded original firmware which brick the router.
So after preparing img.bin firmware (with dd) to img2.bin the forum commands repaired the image and asrock g10 2.18 firmware was again "on board". Of course with help from usb-ttl-serial mini adapter.

Thanks for all...
The funny thing is that I'm on latest (2-23 february 2019 - 38937) beta - radio works ok. The older build from 2018 was not so functional.

So the recovery procedure is tested, well done.
Now I'm waiting for more powerfull ngff card for my laptop - so I will test the ath10k module for best performance - now it is under "ac2600" ratings...

Warning! - latest dd-wrt beta webupgrade from 3.02.2019 (build 03-02-2019-r39031) could brick your asrock again.
Hmm, time to plug my usb-serial adapter and see what's wrong.

But general rules are:
1. Obtain the usb-serial adapter, connect tx-gnd-rx cables to J6 pins (few posts earlier there is a picture).
2. Press any key to stop autoboot.
3. Configure tftpd on any windows/mac/linux host.
4. Prepare img2.bin from original asrock firmware (with little help from "dd" util on any linux host - or even from ubuntu-windows 10 shell)
command: dd if=../img.bin of=../img2.bin skip=20 bs=1

5. Flash with commands from earlier posts:
"...
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.3
setenv serverip 192.168.0.5
tftpboot img2.bin
nand erase 0x1340000 0x3000000
nand write 0x44000000 0x1340000 0x3000000
reset

Serverip is the ip-address of your computer and (also) the ip-address used in tftpd server"

Thanks and I think that I will re-solder easier socket on the box for serial access than disassembling it again.

Hi! I am first time doing flash router, please feel free recommend me what i need to be careful.

Unfortunately, I did not ask the forum before I flashed my Asrock G10, as a result i spent hours to fix it....
Yup... i bricked it. But since i just bought it, Amazon promised to return a new one for free.


I have some amateur questions i'd like to ask, i fear that i might screw up again.

-There're 2 versions, factory-to-ddwrt, and webupgrade. From what i felt i had to install factory first then webupgrade. Was that correct?

-I can't do the MAC address filter. It blocked everything instead of filtering in. What's the easiest way to do?

-On the next catagory,(please pardon me i can't remember much details) what difference between, port-port and LAN?

-Any one can go over 30 dbi?

I know that some questions there might be stupid. However, I spent hours trying to find the informations.

I feel like the more i press 'update' on the router, the more it's unstable. Starting from not recognizing my phone then my laptop then no 5G then no 2.4G, and then dead. I wanna crunch my process this time. Please advice.

Thanks Thanks Thanks
