ok so I also had this happen to me and I disabled my windows firewall on my device and it started work, but before that I also rebooted the switch and went back into the bootloader just incase the IP didnt stick for whatever reason.

also make sure your TFTP client is pointed into the folder that has the files.
switched it to 10.0.0.2 and turned off firewall but still getting nowhere. the only other thing i can think of would be to unhook pc ethernet from current switch and run straight from pc ethernet to management port instead of the current way going pc>old switch>brocade management port. the serial cable seems to be doing its part i think?
you should go ethernet from PC to management port of brocade switch and then static set your PC it looks like your interface in TFTP is for a virtual machine set that to your physical port on your PC/laptop. also your pointed inside your ICX7xxx folder so you should do this
setenv image_name SPR08090mc.bin
setenv uboot spz10118.bin. I see you have .binkill but is that correct? if so do .binkill
how would i go about doing that? i tried to change the pc ip through my isp's gateway web interface like i do with everything else and got the message about it being out of the possible range. that is the only way i know how. as for the virtual port i thought that was strange too but when browsing from the tftpd64 window it wont show my physical port. maybe i should switch to a laptop and start fresh? im not sure about the .bin vs .binkill im just a noob following step by step instructions and failing lol i only bought the switch because it looks so well documented. i usually do pretty well following step by step tutorials. i've been able to setup multiple servers with proxmox and win server 2019, setup physical servers and vm's running truenas scale and a bunch of raspberry pi projects with tutorials but when something goes off script im dead in the water. im sure going on 4hr/day sleep to still function with a 70hr work week isnt doing me any favors either lol
EDIT i see what you mean now with the .binkill. i entered .bin multiple times and then was entering kill trying to clear the window.
I dont have a windows 11 machine on me currently so I'll show you with windows 10 for now. ok so you wanna get to your network connections
*Now find your physical ethernet port right click it and go to properties down at the bottom.
Now select IPv4 and click properties
This is where you static set your PC/laptops IP.
He can be in that folder but he just has to change the setenv values, all you do is exclude the folder part and just do the direct files.
this has to be set correctly it needs to be your IP that your laptop is using if you static set it just look for the exact same IP in that list and select it and you should be good.
We're in business she's doin somethin lol. ill update in a bit no internet on pc until i switch ip back im gussing.
so your locked out or it just hasnt set a password? did you do an wr mem command? after setting the password.
wr mem = write memory
when you make any changes that you want to save yes do a wr mem and if you mess up just delete the startup config and reload the switch and go again, trial and error method if you want.
