I'll try friend, all help is welcome, I'm on the edge of madness
Well I have the feeling you don't really know what tftp means (this is just a diagnosis no judgement!).
Basically this means for this device to open the device and connect it via the USB-TTL adapter to your PC.

If you connected your device with the adapter and PC, opened and connected putty console and powered up the router you should face a bootscreen like that (which will disappear very fast if you dont interrupt this with a key pressed (from that bootscreen):
Please choose the operation:
1: Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP.
2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP.
3: Boot system code via Flash (default).
4: Entr boot command line interface.
7: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via Serial.
9: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via TFTP.
r: Start TFTP recovery.
default: 3
If this is running you have to setup a tftp server to get things rolling.
yes friend, unfortunately my knowledge is extremely limited, I'm doing my best
please make sure you put the image in the first tmp folder.
there are two tmp folder
please let me see the output of
ls
no, you have it in root folder
click two times on the upper folder and find the folder tmp
you need navigate between the router folders, not local
the router folders are on the right, you need find the tmp folder
it worked, you guys are awesome, I got access to the router's page, do I need to do anything else?
can I go back to using eth0 to connect the routers?
I don't know, I don't have that device, just try
honestly, I have no words to thank you for your help, thank you very much
thank you for your patience without you and the bricco I wouldn't have been able to
By default while running OpenWrt, eth0 will be the WAN port but of course you can change that. If you're running a 19.07 build it will be in Network-Switch.

Well, glad to read it is working now. I still wonder if it was pscp (because winscp was working) or the ethernet connection where we did not get any IP addresse. before.
Anyway, have fun with your device and OpenWrt!
Windows 10 has the CLI OpenSSH clients ssh and scp built in. These work almost identically to the Linux version so the same instructions can be followed.
Ah O.K. So Windows got SSH/SCP now. Good to know.
Hello Friend how are you? I have another question, is it possible to return to the original firmware if necessary? would you know if the process is the same used to update openwrt? thanks
