ASUS RT-AX59U cannot return to original firmware

[asimdemir]

Hi. I just bought a new ASUS RT-AX59U. I installed OpenWRT and it seemed too professional to me. For this reason, I want to go back to the original firmware, but the ASUS Firmware Restoration software is not successful.

After uploading the firmware file, the software fails. I have tried IP addresses 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.50.10. No other device is connected to the router. However, I could not restore the original firmware file.
I leave a screenshot below;

It not like using Merlin firmware, it's not just flash back to stock it's more complicated then that.

Thank you for your answer. I was running a guide and it asked me to enter the commands below.

ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N Linux

sysupgrade -F /bin/busybox

After applying these codes, the router is stuck in recovery mode. I wish I'd seen your message before I tried this... And now I can't get it out of recovery mode no matter what I do.

Openwrt recovery - just reflash.

Asus recovery - Make sure you have the correct firmware for your router/region. Make sure you are following the Asus guide exactly:

[Wireless Router] How to use Rescue Mode (Firmware Restoration)? | Official Support | ASUS Global

If that fails, you should be able to still recover but it is more involved with a serial cable + tftp:

I don't know what guide your followed nor do I have an ax59u. You will have better luck asking devs directly how to fix the problem you caused:
