It could be still possible to reflash the firmware using the recovery flash page (the switch should listen on 192.168.1.1 even it fails to boot).

Then you should check: GitHub - up-n-atom/SWTG118AS
Unfortunately I don't have SWTGW215AS to help you with a full dump. I have one SWTG124AS and a couple of dumb SWTG015AS units which I'm trying to make manageable. A full dump of SWTGW215AS would help me too...

p.s. It is important what is the PCB version - This fw is for version V<2

Hello all,
Couple months ago I've bought a KeepLink managed switch from AliExpress. It was cheap.
Now I know why it was so cheap. Lack of support is a big deal.
Is it possible to update the firmware of below model?

KeepLink:
| Device Model | KP-9000-9XHML-X-EU-02 |
| Firmware Version | V1.6 |
| Firmware Date | Oct 11 2023 |
| Hardware Version | V2.2 |
Just to let you know about the RTLPlayground - alternative firmware project for these (4+2, 5+1 and 8+1) managed (and also unmanaged) switches.
github.com
It seems to be very promising...
Great work!

I have the exact same KeepLink model (KP-9000-9XHML-X HW ver:3.1) as the firmware "one" posted above. After an incorrect update with Sodol firmware (which was supposed to be compatible), I experienced a boot loop. However, after flashing the firmware from "one" to a Windbond 25Q16JVSIQ chip, the boot loop no longer occurs, but when I try to connect to the RJ45 port, none of the ports work. Would connecting via TTL and entering some commands help? Or do you have any other suggestions?
Hi,
This post inspired me to play a bit with my setup (details #653 ) and it can be seen that the official firmware and what is written in the Winbond chip, are definitely not the same BIN files. Check attachments provided in #653.
Moving on - I think that You should try the genious tip provided in #180 by up-n-atom
I have try it - Works for me (Be sure - WiFi is OFF and your PC Card is then set manually to some IP address from 192.168.1.XXX range - for example 192.168.1.23). Conect the Switch which have already set in place and connected Serial to TTY adapter, PUTTY console to observe, LAN cable to connect PC and Switch and then power on the Switch by hoding ESC.....
If all OK, on the PUTTY console log You''ll see something like:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
==========Loader start===========
Press any key to start the normal procedure.
To run SPI flash viewer, press [v]
To enforce the download of the runtime kernel, press [ESC] .
cmd 27
sal_sys_runtime_crc_set
loader start
load MAC from nvcfg
IP:192.168.1.1
Mask:255.255.255.0
GW:192.168.1.254
MAC:AA.BB.CC.DD.EE.FF
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
AND then type 192.168.1.1 in Your Browser.
You will get the possibility to upload Factory Firmware via browser, immediately.
p.s. Interesting
edit: If I remember correctly, during this procedure, PWR was ON, SYS was flashing fast and all other LEDs were off.
Seems like this is visual indication to user that the system is in Recovery mode expecting Firmware to be Web uploaded via 162.168.1.1

Hi,
Thank you very much for the answer. I didn't get any response when I uploaded firmware from @one to switch I didn't get any response when I connected the RJ45 ports, and no response via TTL either. I also noticed that this firmware is half size of the others firmware.
Before I even started, @sp300 posted a second time, and I decided to try it too. After changing the MAC address and flashing firmware from topic #533, switch started working. Everything works as before the flash. Thank you very much for your help @sp300b, best regards.

My ZX-SWTGW218AS just died today suddenly.
It was simply disconnected from socket and put back and SYS led started to blink quickly. All lan ports are dead.
I have connected switch to console - nothing
I have flashed dump from github - lan ports blinked, sys steady but I couldn't connect to website and after power cycle it died again.
I was able to connect to the console once after flashing dump but there was absolutely no errors and after restart it started to blink with SYS led.
Original - no name PSU - had 12v 2A and it was connected to UPS all the time for 2 years now.
I don't know what's wrong with it? I was suspecting flash chip but content after flashing seems to be untouched.
The only thing I have changed about a month ago is that I connected fiber optic cable via SFP port.
Any clue?

I would try separating the switch from the rest of the network, and then connect it only to the PC via LAN cable ( WiFi is to be OFF and PC LAN card is to be set manually to some IP address from 192.168.1.XXX range - for example 192.168.1.23). Try to reach 192.168.1.1 via web interface. If OK, then upgrade through the web interface (using firmware update that is compatible with Your switch). Fast flashing SYS - swich is in recovery mode.
Thanks @sp300b. I tried that but all LAN ports do not show any activity with network cable connected, so no way to access anything with them. (or lan port leds may not show any activity in recovery mode?)
Also I have connected switch via console port and no output here also. Looks to me like something else is blocking switch from booting.

1) What is the exact model You have - Any picture to share, here?
2) Link to the last dump that You have loaded into it?
3) Console port meaning what exactly?
4) There should be RESET button- if possible I would press it in order to try to get to factory state...
