Re: debrick a router
This is gonna be very router specific, but see eg. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi- … ost-535680 and consult the manual.
Whether it's redeemable depends on how badly it's "bricked"…

Re: debrick a router
That doesn't say much about how bad it is.
The only ways to recover from that are to write the nvram in hw or - as the forum post suggests - the router might have a failsafe option where it auto-draws firmware updates from a usb key even before the router OS (fails to) boot.

Re: debrick a router

Maybe open it up?
The ERLite3 router for example has an internal USB stick in a port. Easy to fix 
Obviously this is very router dependant and most probably don't have this.
