Hello, I installed OpenWrt version 22.03.5, then I tried reverting to the original firmware, but now the router is bricked...
I've tried the recovery process via TFTP and also the process via the serial port, but without success..
can anybody help me?
insufficient info.
how did you try it ?
post specifics, not only "it didn't work" ...
Help in unbricking TP-Link Archer C60 V3 could be relevant.
I tried this process via serial
1 - connect serial and type "tpl" in the putty;
2 - configure your ip at 192.168.1.100;
3 - setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.111
setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
4 - open tftp, add the downloaded firmware with the name "firm.bin" in the current directory location (default location)
5 - tftpboot 0x81000000 firm.bin
6 - erase 0x9f030000 +0x4400b2
7 - cp.b 0x81000000 0x9f030000 0x4400b2
8 - reset
ok, that's what you did, what did the router do ... ?
recovery mode via tftp
machine ip 192.168.0.66
1- router turned off
2 - press the reset button
3 - turn on the router
4 - release the reset button

gets stuck on that last command.
I can only interrupt the command using ctrl + C
once you install openwrt on archer c60, you can not revert to orginal tp link firmware.
there is a mod version of tp link firmware by a developer in this forum,try that.

Bad Magic Number
ath>
I already tried that, it doesn't work.
because that is for archer c60 us version, and your version is br.
So the magic number needs to be replaced.
it can't be that, because even using the tftp recovery method with the original standard BR firmware it didn't work...
This step by step via serial, I got it from a user who also has an archer c60 br and it worked on his.
