Hello,
I've already desoldered my SPI flash chip (as the unbrick guide wrote: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl- … debricking - there is no word about the serial console), and I want to flash it before I solder it back.
Unfortunately, I can't find a proper bootloader - I have no other device, I can gather from. I have a v1.8.
Thank you!
The latest firmware image from TP-Link (140319) is labeled as including the boot loader. Related note, it's worth saving a copy of the current flash just in case something goes sideways. First time i flashed one i accidentally overwrote the factory calibration data at the end of the rom.
I've already flashed it, but I didn't bother with the last bytes - unfortunately I don't have the backup image. Will it cause any troubles?
The discussion might have continued from here.
