how I just recovered my WN802T-200 from bricked status
the following information is purely a recollection of what I have had to do in the last 24 hours to get my WN802T-200 apparently working again. No warranty, liability or support expectation of any ki...

I have the exactly same problem, bricked my Access point while upgrading firmware to 3.1.12.
I did all the procedures same as yours. When I power the Access point, my putty console spills a lot of strange characters. I use 115200 8N1, no flow control and also make sure the com port also set up to 115200 8N1, no flow control. Is there anything that I need to set in putty configuration. The version I use is 0.62, same as yours. I can stop the booting process by either space bar or enter key.
Whenever I typed any key, putty console will spill out something but not corresponding to what I just typed. For example, when I hit the enter key, it shows C.
At this point, I tried to ping 192.168.0.233, but "Request time out", i.e, no response.
If the router has no response to ping, then there is no way to use tftp to write binary file to the Access point, isn't it.
When you "run flash-kernel" and "run flash-rootfs", your tftp server will do the file transfer through ethernet cable, and the serial interface is just used for command not file transfer, right?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
