Thanks. For some reason the router just ignores the file after uploading via web interface

You will have to flash via WinScp and before enable the ssh daemon (service)? If not, SSH administration will be greyed out and disabled. You need to enable both the service and the administration.

C/P from Omiez post from Gargoyle forum
Upload the file using Winscp in the /tmp folder of your router.

Connect with Putty and give this commands:

cd /tmp

mtd -r write /tmp/tplink.bin firmware

Every command at once hitting Enter.


If it is not the last version just upgrade normally after flashing this one.

When I try to do the mtd I get this error message

Could not open mtd device: firmware
Can't open device for writing!

If I do a cat /proc/mtd I get this

mtd0: 00020000 00010000 "RedBoot"
mtd1: 007c0000 00010000 "linux"
mtd2: 006b0000 00010000 "rootfs"
mtd3: 00020000 00010000 "ddwrt"
mtd4: 00010000 00010000 "nvram"
mtd5: 00010000 00010000 "board_config"
mtd6: 00800000 00010000 "fullflash"
mtd7: 00020000 00010000 "fullboot"

Question, why in case of kuruczfarm in this post http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=263149&start=90 apparently he did not had the issue.

hello

I am trying to revert to the stock firmware for a 1043ND v2.1

I have done everything as explained here but in putty I get this message

"Writing from /tmp/tplink.bin to linux ... [e]Erasing mtd failed: linux"

and no explanations

does anyone know what's going on and how can I revert back to the stock fw?

thank you

PS : I am using the file named "wr1043v2_en_3_15_31_up(130925)" from the site
ftp://tplink-forum.pl/orgin_bez_boot/

and I have renamed it to tplink.bin in order to write it easier in putty
