[searching] TP-Link Archer C7 V2 stripped Firmware

[s3m]

Hello!

I'm looking for a stripped Firmware for the Archer C7 V2.
Reason is, that I can transfer Firmware with TFTP to the bricked Router but than the router still stcks in bootloop.
I was lokking for the Firmware around but all ressoiurces i found are old and the URL's to them are false.

So I hope somewone from here can help me

Thanks

Here's a link to a copy I downloaded before fredzombie's site went MIA. It's only for the Archer C7 V2, I'm not sure if it matters what country version the router has. Mine's a US version.

Thanks SlotTech!
US Version will be fine

In case the links provided in this thread becomes dead, here is the procedure to do your own stripped version of the firmware (the dd part of the operations):
https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer-c5-c7-wdr7500#return_to_factory_firmware

dd if="downloaded_firmware.bin" of="stripped_firmware.bin" skip=257 bs=512

You can confirm that you've done a correct job by downloading the file ArcherC7v2_en_3_14_2_up_boot(150304).bin from TP-Link, applying the procedure and compare the MD5 checksums after the stripping that should be 398e1fcdd72baedd475c4048b1f359c0. So it would be:

dd if="ArcherC7v2_en_3_14_2_up_boot(150304).bin" of="Archer-C7-V2-FW0.0.3-stripped.bin" skip=257 bs=512

I've just tested it, it gives the same results.
