what is orange/amber? What led?
if tftp doesn't work, nmrpflash has worked for some. But even with tftp, its sensitive to timings. sometimes you have to try a few times.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

try tftp again. again its sensitive to timings.
nmrpflash is a little less sensitive so you can always try that first

Nothing, it keeps running and shows nothing
I think the problem is related to communication. When I set my Network to local IP it doesn´t recognize it. It shows default gateway not available. I tried with 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1
