check it out first before doing that
I made all the same as on video, but unfortunately still the same result: after restart router hangs on power LED steady light up and all other LEDs off
Hi There
I followed this Video on Youtube and rolled back to Stock Firmware
I say it again,You don't need Stripped Firmware because firmwares that contain boot need to Stripped
Download Archer C6 V2(EU)
https://static.tp-link.com/2020/202001/20200123/Archer%20C6(EU)_V2_020110.zip
Rename it to ArcherC6v2_tp_recovery
that's it
Still the same. My cases:
Use of ArcherC6v2_eu-up-ver1-2-1-P1[20200110-rel60119].bin: TFTP transfer goes well, but after restart router hangs on power LED steady light up and all other LEDs off.
Use of openwrt-19.07.1-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c6-v2-squashfs-factory.bin: TFTP transfer goes well, and after restart router boots and works fine.
Have you found a solution for this yet?
Not so far. I suppose, that original firmware has to be stripped, but don`t know, how much.
Hello can u make another stripped firmware for the c6 eu v2? Thanks

There are 2 stripped images first of all try Num 1 if it isn't done successfully try Num 2
dont forget to rename to ArcherC6v2_tp_recovery.bin
Connect one of the router's LAN ports (it doesn't work with the WAN port!) to a network switch
Connect another cable from the switch to the computer/TFTP server
Set the computer IP to 192.168.0.66
Start a tftp server with the image in the tftp root directory renamed to ArcherC6v2_tp_recovery.bin
Connect the power cable to the router, press and hold the reset button and turn the router on
Keep the reset button pressed until the WPS LED lights up
Wait ~150 seconds until flashing and booting is completed
Let me know
Hello, thanks for the help
I am curious if it's doable without a switch ?
You should try them
I don't use this model
If you have openwrt installed,try upload image via web
then you should see something like this
Alright i will try
I never knew i can flash stock images from openwrt
Tried both versions, but without success. So I am back on 19.07.2.
I found strange behavior: After TFTP upload of orig fw it will reboot shortly after 100% in tftp gui. However, after upload of openwrt, it will take few seconds, maybe for some processing.
I suppose, this is caused by reaching end of partiton space (maybe this assumption is wrong)
Okay, so I just made an account here just to post this.
To return to the stock firmware through tftpd, you'll have to use the very first (oldest) firmware available on the official website. All the others will show success in tftpd but won't boot. Here is the direct link https://static.tp-link.com/2020/202001/20200123/Archer%20C6(EU)_V2_020110.zip.
You can update to the latest firmware after installing this one via webupgrade.
Hope this helps someone.
Good to know. I never had to do it, but it's a very valuable piece of information, thanks!
I need this, please explain. I tried flashing this firmware on my Archer C6 but its just booting to Openwrt always. Please help me out
I had big issues with 1.3.6. version of the firmware. Upgraded to open wrt and then tried downgrade to 1.2.1. as suggested in David's post. After that the router was bricked.
Next I followed the in unbrick guide with tftp that David posted, but non of the firmware resulted in a successful unbrick.
But I got it to work, you need to find firmware 1.0.1. It's not on the tp-link site anymore, but someone posted it on 4 shared. this one successfully can be applied with this method. After that you can upgrade to 1.2.1. through tp-link ui.
Here is the link that I managed to find on the net for stock 1.0.1. firmware.
Hope this saves 4 hours of stress for the ones in the same situation
Final addition. This stock firmware restore can also directly be done from 1.3.x versions of the router. Just use tftpd64 program and follow David's instructions and use the provided 1.0.1 version.
Just did this on my second archer c6 eu v2.0 without open-wrt
IT WORKS! What I did:
Hello
I have a similar situation (in open wrt wants to go back version 121. I dont have a hub/switch at home.
Wondering can we not use the luci (webui) of open wrt ?
Has anyone tried it ?
Thanks
