If you think you are not completely aware of what's going on or you don't know what you did wrong, it is strongly recommended you just completely wipe the user data partition only as follows, which will wipe all custom config. The space available in the the user data partition is shared across both bank's overlay's. For dual-bank gateways, the user data partition contains a differing overlay for each firmware bank. In modern Homeware firmware's, based on a fork of OpenWrt (Chaos Calmer 15.05), the user data partition is an overlay, it's contents get applied on top of the root filesystem, which is stored as read-only firmware in the booted bank.

Technicolor Gateway platforms are usually built on a firmware + data design, which consists of read-only filesystems (squashfs) stored in flash banks plus a writable filesystem (jffs2) for user dafa storage.

Your chances to sort out from this situation are bigger if this is not the first time booting into recovery since everything usually created upon startup and root access is there already. Expect something in the above step 2 to go wrong: either your recovery disk doesn't boot fine (bootloops) since something running upon startup is crashing because of file writing failures, or you can't get root access because root strategies fail to apply needed changes. You can still try booting recovery as explained above and wipe the filled up partition as soon as you get a root shell. Optimal bank plan is not intended to make things easier in such cases.

Recovery from any bad state ( excluding full overlay partition issues) while optimal bank plan is in place, always consists in following this path: There are no RBI firmware images of Type 2 available for your board.Your /overlay/bank_1 contents is messed up.You are not or no more on optimal bank plan.This recovery method is not available if.
