Hi everyone,
I recently bricked my TP-Link TL-ST2008 V1.0 (Realtek RTL9303 architecture). During a TFTP recovery process (Option 8 in U-Boot), I accidentally flashed the firmware image starting from address 0x000000.
This has effectively overwritten the SPL (BootROM) and the main bootloader. As many of you know, official TP-Link OTA/Web update files (like tl-st2008.all.bin) do not contain the first 64 KB of the flash, which holds the SPL responsible for DDR and UART initialization.
Request: If anyone happens to have a working TL-ST2008 (or a compatible clone like SKS8300-8X or TL-ST1008F) and has access to its flash dump via CH341A/RT809 programmer or /dev/mtd0, could you please share a copy?
I specifically need the first 1-2 MB of the flash to reconstruct the boot partition.
For those concerned about privacy: I only need the SPL/U-Boot portion; you can strip the tp_head (serial/MAC) and para partitions later in the flash (usually around 30-31MB offset).
Thanks in advance for any help!
