By far the biggest problem with running a TFTP server is the PC firewall. Disable all firewalls while running tftp. This is safe to do since you should not be connected to any other networks at the time either.
Or...give it permissions (temporarily) when it asks for them.
I would rather have that scenario than someone "forgetting" to re-enable the firewall.
My problem is, the recovery get's flashed completly, at least that's what Solarwinds TFTP Server says.
"TFTP connected from 192.168.0.86:2528 on 2/5/2022, binary, GET. Completed, file Name C:\TFTP-Root\ArcherC6v2_tp_recovery.bin"
But I am not able to get onto the GUI after setting the IP back to automatic. The router only shows the green power LED.
Edit:
Got it done using the oldest firmware from tp links server. The version I found here didn't work for me.

Thanks, this worked for me. Something was causing my trunk build (master, from today, on gcc12, which built just fine) to fail to boot in this way, however I was able to restore factory image (then attempted a new trunk/master on gcc11, which complied fine but also failed to boot this way) then straight flashed a backup of openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c6-v2-us-squashfs-factory.bin (which was built on gcc11.2.0 as well, testing kernel 5.15.40) renamed as ArcherA6v2_tp_recovery.bin which worked just fine to reset to my backup OpenWRT build.
Has anybody else had trouble building trunk on this router lately? Heads up if you happen to see this before your next build.
I updated OpenWrt 21.02.3 to 22.03.0. The scan function of WiFi became failed, so I backed OpenWrt to 21.02.3 through Luci. Then, my Archer C6 V2 JP was bricked...
I followed egasz's and anon89577378's instructions and tried to restore. Fortunately, I could fix my C6.
Thanks you a lot !!!
Any chance of sharing that firmware? I tried the oldest firmware I could get which is Archer C6(EU)_V2_200402 but got the same response in my router. Could upload but won't go beyond 80% in tftpd.
