How to recovery AP from u-boot mode (AP2800/AP3800)
The following is the recovery method when the AP stuck in u-boot mode. It should be noted that these methods have certain risks.
1. Change the bootcmd variable
It is possible for the AP to be in u-boot mode when the bootcmd variable changes for some reason. We can execute the following commands in u-boot mode, and the AP can boot normally.
setenv bootcmd nandboot <<< Set to nandboot saveenv <<< Save configuration boot <<< Reload the AP
2. Change partition
Another possibility is that there is a problem with the partition of the AP. Since there are two AP partitions (part1 and part2), we can switch to another partition and try to boot.
printenv BOOT <<< Check the current configuration setenv BOOT <part1 part2=""> <<< Change to another partition saveenv <<< Save configuration boot <<< Reload the AP</part1>

I have a ap3802 and i need to change as mobility express but i tried different versions and all fails with no space error. I suppose i need to restore from zero
Is it resolved now? Which version are you using?
Exactly what I was looking! Fixed 2 3802 I though was bricked for sure. Booted into part2 and it came back and loaded an old version of ME before upgrading to teh latest version. THANKS!!!
