TP-Link Archer C50 (W) V6 Bricked

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

Hey guys.

I have a bricked TP-Link Archer C50 (W) V6 router and to bring it back to life I need its original firmware.

I would like to know if any of you have the original firmware dump for it.

Thanks.

Perhaps the tp-link site has the right image ?

It would be useful to know what exactly you mean by bricked.

  • LEDs flashing when powering on ?
  • ip mon on WAN/LAN ports ?
  • any serial output ?
  • how was the device bricked ?

The wiki page has a guide to restore the firmare via tftp.
Sadly, I don't have the firmware either.

This is a different model. It has the W in the name.

All lights flash simultaneously when powering on.

There is no firmware available on the official website, so the only alternative would be a dump from another similar device.

The preferred language of the OpenWrt forums is English, as this helps maximize the number of people who can participate in the conversation. Accordingly, please be sure to post in English.

You may use an online translator, and you're welcome to also include your native language in addition to English.

Thank you.

Olá amigo, não consegui ainda.
Não encontrei em lugar algum o dump do firmware dele. Se você puder fazer isso, eu fico extremamente grato.

Para poder gerar o dump, você precisa utilizar o software Tftpd64. Pode usar a versão portátil mesmo.

É só seguir os passos deste vídeo para fazer a comunicação do roteador com o software.

Depois de tudo configurado, só fazer o dump.

Hi friend, I still haven't managed it.
I couldn't find the firmware dump anywhere. If you can do this, I would be extremely grateful.

To be able to generate the dump, you need to use the software Tftpd64. You can even use the portable version.

Simply follow the steps in this video to make the router communicate with the software.

After everything is configured, just do the dump.

I could be wrong but this video only teaches you how to do the recovery with the bin already generated... what I want to know is how do you generate the bin for yourself?

Are you per chance in Latin-America? I think you might have the infamous ES variant which actually seems to be a C54. I would suggest looking at the C54 firmware if you haven't solved this yet.
Note that your device likely won't ever run OpenWRT as the C54's firmware isn't Linux-based.
