I have successfully flashed owpenwrt to a Plusnet Hub One unit before.
However on my second unit, it failed to install the lede-17.01.4-lantiq-xrx200-BTHOMEHUBV5A-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.
No worries I thought I will use my backup to restore stock firmware, which worked faultlessly, except as I did it overnight it defaulted to N to the unlock question:
Do you wish to unlock the u-boot prompt? This will allow use of tftpboot etc.
Unlock [y/N]: y
No when I try to run tftpboot from the BTHOMEHUBV5A # prompt tftpboot hangs:
BTHOMEHUBV5A # tftpboot 0x81000000 lede-lantiq-xrx200-BTHOMEHUBV5A-installimage.bin; bootm 0x81000000

Using ltq-eth device
TFTP from server 192.168.1.2; our IP address is 192.168.1.1
Filename 'lede-lantiq-xrx200-BTHOMEHUBV5A-installimage.bin'.
Load address: 0x81000000
Loading: *
It can however access the server:
BTHOMEHUBV5A # ping 192.168.1.2
ltq_phy: addr 0, link 0, speed 10, duplex 0
ltq_phy: addr 1, link 0, speed 10, duplex 0
ltq_phy: addr 17, link 0, speed 10, duplex 0
ltq_phy: addr 19, link 1, speed 1000, duplex 1
ltq_phy: addr 5, link 0, speed 10, duplex 0
Using ltq-eth device
host 192.168.1.2 is alive
So if anyone can tell me how to get round this I would be very grateful.
I was using the guide here:
