Ouch.. You are lucky to have the router alive.. So in normal boot you cant login? In failsafe you can login with telnet, so you should be able to get the router online and then

cd /tmp

wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … pgrade.bin

sysupgrade openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841nd-v7-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

I do not think it is possible to connect to the internet in the failsafe mode,but if possible tell me how!
Or it is possibly to use cp command?

LINUX forewer!!!
I make scp user@192.168.1.2:/home/user/penwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841nd-v7-squashfs.bin
and sysupgrade openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr841nd-v7-squashfs.bin
after it is DONE!

how do you SCP if you don't have SSH access??

i have just made this to my wr703 in failsafe mode, to sysupgrade from AAb2 to AArc1:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1">/etc/resolv.conf
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-rc1/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
sysupgrade openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

obviously you have to adapt to your network, gateway, and file name XD
wait serveral minutes after sysupgrade, then you can reboot if it has not rebooted itself...


EDIT: oh i got it, scp command from router means you had an ssh server on pc with that file..
nice solution too wink

i tried 2-3 000 times from computer ssh to router but noting....
after that i ssh from router to computer successfully, and then i think what about scp to computer!
And now happy!

The discussion might have continued from here.
