All,

I had to restore my TP-link 841ND v8 router firmware using a seria cable due to a wrong firmware upload I did when tried to move it to openwrt.

Everything was fine I was able to restore and install the openwrt sucessfully.

But I have one issue. Th bootcmd variable is point to tftp and everytime i reset the router, it stop there. To bring the router online, I need to use the "tpl" to stop the boot process and manually issue the command "bootm 0x9f0200".

My uboot does not have the saveenv command. In this case, how can I change the bootcmd and save it so every hardware rebbot, it will load the firmware on the right place?

Thx,

wow, how that happened?

I mean, was it stopping there before you flashed from serial?

I'd try to restore tplink firmware, then update to their lastest fw (should update uboot too).

Honestly I dont know if it was hapening before. I guess in somehow I modified the uboot when tried to update the fw.

I wil try this it and let you know.

Thx.

See the output of the setenv.

nebbia88,
thanks for your help :-)  Just a matter of 2 fw restore. One without boot, followed by the one with boot.

Thx,

Do you have any problems while booting with original tp-link firmware ?
Try another openwrt image.
