Help Needed: OpenWrt Firmware for TP‑Link TL‑WDR5600 V2

For Developers
1

Hello OpenWrt community,

I have a TP‑Link TL‑WDR5600 V2 router that was previously running OpenWrt, but it’s now stuck in Breed recovery mode. I’ve tried flashing firmware myself, but the router always reverts to Breed or does not boot properly.

I understand that this model does not currently have an official OpenWrt release, and I am seeking guidance from anyone who has successfully built or ported OpenWrt for this device.

Specifically, I would like to know:

Is there a pre-built sysupgrade.bin or community build available for TL‑WDR5600 V2?

If not, what is the recommended process to compile a custom OpenWrt firmware for this router?

Any tips on flashing via Breed recovery safely for this model.

My goal is to get OpenWrt running again on this router. I can provide more technical details if needed (serial access, current firmware, Breed version, etc.).

Thank you very much for your guidance and support!

searched the forum ?

since it doesn't appear to be supported, https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/adding_new_device.

Yes, I have searched but could not find the solution with this topic.

4

yes you did.
in this case, no news is bad news.

5

Are you sure the device was previously running OpenWrt? What version? Where did it come from?

6

Yes, I am sure, because I was using it and tried to upgrade its firmware but mistakenly I have uploaded wrong version, after that this mode activated. and its its stock router.

7

where did the image come from ?
not here one would assume ...

8

These are critical, but remain unanswered.

I can access via web and telnet only. When I am trying via web showing error (wrong version) even I changed the different ways.

10

try answering the actual questions ....

11

The question relates to what was running previously. What version of OpenWrt and where did it come from??

12

Actually I did not notice the exact version. and router is from china stock and openwrt firmware was default installed. but I have other router that has same model and openwrt firmware, I will share its screenshot. in next reply.

Better yet….

Ssh into the device and get this:

ubus call system board

don't bother, there's not a single router in the world that comes with openwrt "preinstalled", except the OpenWRT One.
it's running a vendor SDK, just like any other device out there.

your device is not supported, there's no firmware for it, here.

move on or https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/add.new.device.

I found this one.
But it's an ancient 8/64 device - i'd say it's time for something new (and regularly supported).
