[SOLVED]Archer C7(RU) V5 tftp install does not works

[oslyak]

Connected to router through UART, so I can see log from UART

Try to install stable 18.06.1 and development snapshot via TFTP.

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-18.06.1-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v5-squashfs-factory.bin

Even tried:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.0/targets/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-18.06.0-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v5-squashfs-factory.bin

Results are the same

Full bootlog

Help me please.

You'll probably need to use a build which includes the following commit:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=53020ed4b981d8d48394842d0aff1a0d0497cc1c

The fact that the firmware only checked 2 specialId's makes me think that you are not, because that commit adds 4 more to the list (total 6).

So a master snapshot build or building your own latest off the 18.06 branch should include both.

Also, it isn't necessary to create two threads for the same issue: Archer C7(RU) V5 install throught UART
Lets just handle everything in the one.
Suggest a mod merges this if they see it please.

Tried to install latest Development Snapshot builds

tftp 0x86000000 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-archer-c7-v5-squashfs-factory-dev.bin
erase 0x9f300000 +3fcd77

But now in bootlog:

This works

Support for TP-LINK Archer C7 v5 (RU)

Hi everyone, Recently I've upgraded to a TP-LINK Archer C7 v5 router, but didn't manage to flash OpenWrt neither through web UI nor through TFTP at first. After connecting to it's serial port I see that firmware update with TFTP method fails with the product id verify fail! error (without connecting to serial port you can see that router reboots almost immediately after downloading ArcherC7v5_tp_recovery.bin). A bit of research later I figured out that I have a RU version router which has a di…

Someone should submit a patch to add “55250000” to the list of valid specialIDs similar to the patch I linked above.

I’d prefer not to as I have no device to test with, or much to do with that target, but I can if no one else does.

Have submitted a patch. I doubt it will get pulled back into 18.06, so snapshots and 19.xx will be where this becomes available.
