Archer C1200 filesystem corruption

Hi, I have a tp-link archer c1200, its not supported at all but there is some images that you can flash with the uart console. It works all, but there is a problem with the rootfs_data. The first time you boot it, it works correctly, you can access all the spi nor memory and write. But when you reboot it shows a error about the crc and the files get corrupted on some blocks. I have tried it with two models (v1 and v2) and the same. Later, I make dd (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtd5), hexdumping and reboot (also unplugging ac) and it doesnt corrupt. I've tried jffs2 and ubifs with the same result, but I have noticed that the fs corrupt when it's uses as root. I'm using lede with kernel 4.9.65. Thanks

I uploaded a full dump asus rt-ac 1200g+ and after that I see in console:

router not started. I connect from http://192.168.1.1 and upload the firmware with cfe miniweb server, but after that nothing changes.

I don`t save a original dump from my router and now I can't return to original firmware.
does anyone have a dump of the original firmware ?
