GUIDE. HOW TO FLASH OEM TL-MR3040 FIRMWARE
Please give me some time to test how it will work, otherwise you are flashing on your own risk
Thanks to Sin for posting firmware file and Lcdx for reupload it to english website.
I have TL_MR11U v2 and was able to flash it to usual TL-MR3040 firmware. Below a short instruction. Files available by link below.
1. Flash from Chinese firmware to OpenWRT

2. Login to your router and change root password to enable SSH.
3. Run webserver on your PC and share TL-MR3040 firmware. (Run HFS from archive, Menu - Add files - and choose TL-MR3040 firmware. Copy http adress from string in program )
4. Run putty. Connect to your router by entering router IP adress - default 192.168.1.1 choose SSH, default port is 22. and press Open
5. Login as root. Enter your password.
6. Enter commands "cd /tmp"
7. "wget http://YOUR_PC_IP/FIRMWARE_NAME.bin" (from HFS)
8. "mtd -r write /tmp/FIRMWARE_NAME.bin firmware"
9. Wait a little. Router will reboot and you will be on stock MR3040 firmware. PLEASE NOTE. In MR3040 firmware dafault IP adress is 192.168.0.1

thanks to johndoe!


can i use this for mr11u v1.1?

Files of mveplus were removed from Dropbox.

Been trying to figure this out but so far not getting anywhere.
I tried flashing my MR11U v.1.1 a while ago and thought it was bricked.
Now found out about getting in with Putty but cant seem to figure out how to get the gui loaded.
Probably need to get it configured with command line to connect to wifi internet  but not having any luck.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

TP?????????.exe
Should work also for other Chinese routers like TP-LINK, FAST, Mercury, etc.

Use it at your risk!

Cheers

anybody knows where the source of this tool can be found? recently some tp-link images appeared with ascii region code in image header and both tool versions i've tried (1.00 and 1.02) do not accept full hex range but numerical only (0-9)

The discussion might have continued from here.
