But the downgrade did work? Ie. the firmware version shown is now 1.0.01?
Regarding the installer. you are using the ready binary provided in the releases section of this project I suppose...?

Yes, it's now 1.0.01. Yes, it's downloaded here.

May be I should give more details. After downgrading, I uploaded the recovery-installer file, and the router seemed to be bricked (didn't come to live with power cycling). I then applied a hardware reset (strangely I wrongly held the wps button and power on and still fine) and to bring it to live again. After this, I tried to flash the file again, "image file is incorrect", then I flashed the recover (only) file, but also "image file is incorrect".

That's very odd. Esp. the part that you succeeded to upload the recovery-installer file and then the router would not start it. I hope they didn't lock update the bootloader, but 1.0.01 is also not signed in any special way from what I can tell, so it's probably somethign more simple.
The best would be if you can connect a USB-to-serial converter to the internal (3.3V level) serial console of the device, so we can see what's actually going on...

do I need to open the plastic case for that serial console?
from owrt-ubi-installer.
Yes, you do need to remove the 4 screws hidden underneath the sticker on the bottom and then slide out the board to find the JST PH 2.0 6-pin connector which is the serial port. See also the OpenWrt wiki for details.

Yesterday, I upgraded the router to new stock firmware again, just to try whether my router can flash image, it succeeded. But today, I want try once more to downgrade the router to 1.0, I couldn't do it anymore saying the image is incorrect again. Does it mean I can no longer flash this router to openwrt? If so, I need to buy another one for openwrt and use this router elsewhere.

It more sounds like something is wrong with this specific device. However, as I said, only with the serial console connected we can shed light onto this.

Thank you for your help. It really takes time and courage to open it up, but I think I will do it later, and ask for your help again. In fact I have a tp-link C7 running openwrt for years, and still working very well. Should I close this thread by now? Or you have some other suggestion for me to try except opening it up?

I'm curiously awaiting the serial bootlog to be posted here ;)

Hi dangowrt,
I'm writing to let you know that I do the conversion today again, and everything's going smoothly. Probably sth I've done wrong last time. I have the new toy to play now.
Thank you for all the help.
