WN802Tv2 firmware upgrade failure (Bricked)

Hi.

When I got this AP, the first thing I did was upgrade the firmware, and after letting it upgrade for almost a hour, I thought the process was finished although the GUI didn't show any sign of it being finished (I figured there was some bug, and that I just had to go to the main login again.). And yes, I used a wired connection.

And now I get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function defined() in /home/www/include/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 3

when I write the IP of the AP in my browser:


I've tried everything I've stumbled across on forums on the net, including TFTP send and having a TFTP server running with all the firmware files, while holding down the factory reset button 10/20/30/60 seconds while unplugging/plugging in the power.

My main question is, are there any specific ways to fix this problem on the WN802Tv2?
