RE450v2 bricked

fuzi1986 · January 19, 2019, 8:35pm

I have bricked my TP-Link RE450v2 during I have tried to flash back the stock firmware.
I have read a lot of topics and there was mentioned if the name of the firmware doesn't include boot, it is ok to flash stock firmware by sysupgrade -F.

In my case it was wrong.

How can I unbrick the RE450v2?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi fuzi1986

were you able to fix your RE450v2?
Am I in the same situation as yours if you got back to the stock firmware like you did?

Mine, is still bricked.
I found out that you just can reflash it via serial port, but for this action you need to iron a smd resistor.

Many thanks to everyone for the help.
