Ok, maybe I should have stated this to start.

Already went through USB Recovery. No help.

When connect to serial port have even tried USBboot. No help.

So now I am checking NAND environment settings as those are not rewritten with recovery.

Recovery as I see only rewrites intird and ulmage on the nand, intird being ramdisk and ulmage being linux/nasready os.

 

Thanks.
