3802 recovery from u-boot

[alisuzi]

I guess I did something wrong when I was playing with Cisco Mobility Express in the days when I was not very experienced with cisco and I corrupted or deleted the firmware. It bothers me that it is just sitting there and I decided to fix it. How do I recover Cisco 3802 in uboot environment. If I upload the board_init_barbados3kve.img file, will it solve my problem? Do you have any idea ? Please do not remind me of RMA.

              This comes down to hoping that either part1 or part2 still has a bootable image,

Really, what do you mean cisco is not published u-boot recovery image for 3802? Are you kidding me? Why the long endless RMA process when you can upload a file and recover it? Is this file the secret of life? Please someone tell me this is not true

Maybe the reason is because you need to flash it which consumers would not be able to perform. If it was that easy, where you can just tftp the image, I'm pretty sure they would have that image published, because so many folks end up deleting both images.  You have an ap that you will not be able to fix.
