You need to be sure of a few things:
Tx-Rx (router to connector, and vice versa)
voltage is only ever a rough guide to what does what. It does not help with connection issues
RESISTANCE between your connector (away from the soldered bits) to your router (again, away from soldering areas) says lots about how good the connection is. To measure this, you don't need power to anything, just use the multimeter.

I receiving data from router, but i can't send data to router, it probably by the fact that the RX (jump, TP23) pinout is damaged

If it isn't close up and in focus, don't bother.

Did you managed to solved it? Please post a detailed guide. I seem to have similar problem.

Were you misconnecting tx and rx of your adapter?? I mean, you have to go from tx of router to rx of serial, and so on...
Openwrt wiki Says " (Tx from schematic goes to Tx pin of router, Rx from schematic to Rx of router)."
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3420#serial
Why your statement differs from openwrt wiki?
Tx - rx
Rx - tx
The discussion might have continued from here.
