Hi!

I recently acquired a Deco BE85 (used, no warranty I would know of) that is displaying a constant yellow light when plugged in.

Thing is: I can boot it into recovery through the reset pin, connect through 192.168.0.1 through the LAN port and flash a firmware. The webfrontend says it was flashed successful, but I have my suspicions, because the first 6-7% move quite slow like its actually doing something and then it suddenly jumps to 100% and says complete. If I remeber correctly, for my other Decos the process was way slower. So I am not sure if the firmware is applied after all, or if its doing a simple check, sees its own firmware version is more recent and then rejects it or something. Point is: When I try to start the Deco normally after the flash, I am still getting the solid yellow color - no other reaction.

I am pretty sure its in a boot loop, because I can reset it into recovery from the yellow light even without disconnecting the power if I wait a bit.

This leads to a couple of questions:

1. Is it possible, that the recovery firmware is not flashed because there is already a more recent version installed on the device?

2. How can I do a factory reset in a boot loop situation when I cannot flash a firmware?

3. Is it possible to access a bootlog/firmware installation log through recovery somehow?

Thank you for your help!
