no one ?
That r33006 image was the one I use before, so I don't understand why it seems too big.
What would be the way to force downgrade ? _________________

Now it's worse !
every lan ports on the router is blinking, I have no access at all.
Power LED, star LED and wifi LED are always on.
I don't know what would be the ip, my LAN connection keeps disconnecting.
What can I do ? _________________

my router was bricked, the light sequence was the one on the following video :

and the debrick method works _________________

My experience (what works for me) is that when you want to upgrade or just want to flash to dd-wrt you first need to downgrade to the stock TP-link FW v150427 using TFTP in pre-boot mode also called recovery mode.
After that you can flash from the stock TP-link GUI to the newest dd-wrt FW using factory-to-ddwrt.bin

Had similar experience when Archer C7 v2 stopped updating beyond the 9/9/17 version (r33342), and tried telnet erase nvram, tried tftp new versions, etc all to no avail.
The above downgrade to stock method however worked well for me, now recklessly back into r33413 again!
Hope we don't have to do the same thing here once again for the next upgrade - fingers crossed the devs iron this issue out soon as ticket #5972 seems still open at time of writing, see svn.dd-wrt.com!
Thank you! One thing worth nothing is that you can see the progress (though much less detail) of the flashing of stock firmware in the 'Log viewer' tab of the tftp app, in case you have not discovered this trick...
