Hi, i need to do the same. Is the image for archer c20i suitable for mr200? In any case i can't flash it from the web gui, probably because the name does not match. I guess i should try tftp, but if you have more info, you're welcome.
can anyone please help us with Archer MR200?
Hello,
I have the same problem... Then, going through the openwrt site I found this:
[http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/obtai … e.download
Because in the case of Archer MR200 doesn't exist a file named "factory" at the following links:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_cal … ps/mt7620/
https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_cal … ps/mt7620/
and
https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_b … s/mt7620a/
according to this router data that are the following:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp- … hermr200v1
and in particular:
Platform:
MediaTek MT7620A
Target:
ramips
that we need of to find the correct version of the firmware; I found that the Archer MR200 is supported from version 14.07 called "Barrier breaker". So I thought to flash on the OEM firmware to free the modem from that this file:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_b … uImage.bin
Done this, I upgrade the firmware with one of the following sysupgrade files to have the full support:
1) https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_b … pgrade.bin
2) https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_cal … pgrade.bin
or
3) https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_cal … pgrade.bin
In my opinion this should have to be the correct procedure.
Can someone try and comfirm to me if it works or less?
Let me know soon...
I would be very interested in running openwrt on this device and i am willing to help on its development but i don't have much experience (if any) in this matter. all i can see at this point, is that the mtd partitions from original bootlog and openwrt bootlog in the wiki page, don't seem to add up.
Image from Archer c50 runs on this router, without 5GHz.
@obsy
Thanks for your reply. that's great news. what about the LTE? does it work as well?
I am also concern about the seemingly mismatch mtd partitions region from original and c50 luci bootlog:
Original bootlog:
Creating 6 MTD partitions on "raspi":
0x000000000000-0x000000020000 : "boot"

0x0000007f0000-0x000000800000 : "radio"
C50 luci image bootlog:

"firmware" (and hence "rootfs" and "rootfs_data") should end at 7d0000
7d0000 to 7e0000 should be "romfile"
7e0000 to 7f0000 should be "config"
am i wrong? maybe that's why 5GHz isnt working...?
5GHz - lack of drivers. I'm not owner of mr200, for details ask @Heinz.

@obsy
Thanks. I have contacted Heinz via email (this was the only way i could find). let's hope that he replies. I will also try to ask an admin to move this topic to General Discussion as it does not belong here

Update: Apparently the model that i have, is the EU version. the full model name is "Archer MR200(EU)" and it's Ver:1.0 . has 3 internal wifi antennas and from the stock firmware size, it's flash size must be at least 64MB
(Last edited by Hamy on 15 Sep 2016, 05:23)
I just connected to the device via TTL and confirmed the actual flash size is in fact 8MB.
However, examining the stock firmware, it turns out the rest of the file (after u-boot, kernel and squashfs), is a huge zip file containing all the fancy webpage resources as well as lots of other libraries, executables, modules and stuff.
It appears to me that there is in fact another embedded storage in this device (likely connected via usb in the form of MMC storage). but i'm not sure how to access it.
Edit: these lines in the bootlog seem specially interesting:
scsi0 : usb-storage 1-1:1.6
scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access TP-LINK MMC Storage PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk
Any ideas?

Thanks 
You are right. The modem seems to be running it's very own operating system (with actually a webinterface it appears, but not sure how to access it). it seems to be running android, has an android bootloader and everything. so the stock firmware, updates the device firmware as well as the LTE modem firmware. if we manage to successfully run the modem in OpenWRT, we could possibly come up with a solution to update the LTE modem firmware from the stock firmware when a new one comes around.
Hi @Hamy
I tried to prepare proper firmware to install from web interface, but mktplinkfw2 not create valid header.
Leds not work correct. I dont know how to change gpio led from switch.
You can use abd command on stock rom to connect to modem.
I install openwrt using bootloader, but I forgot commands.
@Heinz
Thank you for your response. i was able to get to the LTE modem's shell by using 'adb shell' . it has an ARMv7 processor with about 32MB of ram and lots of mtdblocks:
/ # cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
7 6 5120 loop6
31 0 1280 mtdblock0
31 1 1280 mtdblock1
31 2 11264 mtdblock2
31 3 3456 mtdblock3
31 4 3456 mtdblock4
31 5 768 mtdblock5
31 6 3456 mtdblock6
31 7 51968 mtdblock7
31 8 256 mtdblock8
31 9 896 mtdblock9
31 10 10496 mtdblock10
31 11 256 mtdblock11
31 12 66944 mtdblock12
31 13 4480 mtdblock13
31 14 10624 mtdblock14
31 15 1408 mtdblock15
31 16 256 mtdblock16
31 17 37504 mtdblock17
31 18 52096 mtdblock18But i suppose that's not our concern right now.
I would very much like to take a backup of the current running bootloader (mtd0) before trying to upload openwrt firmware (as i think it's likely that some u-boot parameters are specific to each device. i've seen this before in a tp-link router). but i'm kinda stuck on how to do so. there is a tftp command in the stock firmware but it just doesn't seem to do anything. i suspect that i do not know the exact arguments that it requires. it does not response to -h or --help and the conventional tftp arguments, doesn't seem to not have any effect here. and there is also no xxd or hexdump command as well.
I can not seem to be able to get to the bootloader either. getting to the bootloader, would be enough for me to backup the mtd0 and also do lots of other things. but the bootloader doesnt seem to wait for a key press. do you have any special method into getting into bootloader?
Edit: it was busybox version of tftp. i now have a backup of mtd0. but getting to the bootloader is still an issue
(Last edited by Hamy on 16 Sep 2016, 04:06)
To break bootloader use 2 or 4.
Please make backup partition mtd 3-5 because this is important.
Partition mtd 0 - 2 You can restore by uploading factory firmware from official tplink site. ( cut first 512b, cut all zip file from end of firmware)
luckily, there is no difference between the device bootloader and the supplied one via stock firmware. so tftp flashing should be straight forward: you remove any tp-link header(if any), you add boot partition at the beginning of the firmware and then use builtin TFTP Recovery method to upload the firmware.
reverting back to the stock firmware should be almost the same procedure except that you very likely have to remove all the extra data after the kernel and squashfs in the stock firmware.

I suspect that's because of the very special kind of firmware it's using. after the tp-link header,u-boot, kernel and squashfs, it includes modem's firmware. the resulting firmware is huge (more than 55MB). i doubt that it could all be fit in the 64MB ram that this device has (while running its own kernel and services). so some specialized procedure could be happening. like saving the whole file in modems MMC storage first and then trying to split it and write it to appropriate locations. or maybe some other dark magic is taking place.

Oh, thanks for the notes. will do
Awesome. pressing '4' , did actually do the trick. thanks

Any idea why ArcherC20i and ArcherC50 images are oversized in the trunk?
while other images are roughly 3.6MB, these images are 8MB. this is too much for MR200 which only has 8MB:
Alright, I've added a new DTS profile for MR200, made entries for it in ramips.sh , platform.sh , mt7620.mk and also added it in mktplinkfw2.c . the DTS is pretty much the same as C20i , only the mtds adjusted and spi model corrected. ive managed to upload the image and boot openwrt. But obviously, a lot needs to be adjusted. specially in DTS . i don't know how or where i should find the correct DTS for this enteries.
@Heinz
looking at your openwrt bootlog, you've obviously gone further than me in adjusting things. i would appritiate if you could tell me what needs to be adjusted

root@OpenWrt:/# Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Alright, i'm gonna give up on this. while i would have loved running openwrt on this device, writing a correct DTS file is too advanced for me to be done on my own and i couldn't find anyone to help
Hi, guys! Please help me. Is any possibility to change IMEI in LTE modem in this Archer MR200 router?
@WINTERZ
No, there is not a known way. manufactures make changing IMEI very hard or almost impossible for a good reason. and the fact that you want to change it is suspicious at the very least.
Hamy, thanks for quick reply. My LTE provider allows to use 4G internet only for smartphones and tablet pc. Provider checks IMEIs and blocks devices that have not phones or tablets IMEIs. So I can't use this router. Changing IMEI will help me to use internet. Nothing criminal or suspicious.

Alright, sorry. still, this router does not support changing IMEI (at least not officially anyway). my bet is that it's stored inside the LTE card which runs it's own OS. it could even be embedded in a seperate readonly chip. unless you're hacker and willing to take on a challenge, id look elsewhere.
On a side note, if possible, i would have you changed my provider as a sign of protest against their stupid policy and let them know that (they shouldn't be deciding or limiting you on this).
