18 -1. Cross your fingers that the router boots openwrt. Otherwise keep rebooting until it loads the openwrt partition. (Usually 3 times max.) Wait a few minutes from reboot to let it load. If you get response from ping 192.168.1.1 it means openwrt loaded.

26 26  If you are on my 18.x below, sysupgrade will not work. You have to manually mtd write the 19.07 "kernel-initramfs.bin" into the nand and boot/log into it (192.168.1.1), then sysupgrade.
