Thank you checho for your 26446 build with the header changed. It seems to work fine in my v5 in the U.S. Are there any mini builds, even older ones for v4, with NoCatSplash and jffs support? Could I use an older build which supports these as I am trying to setup WiFi Hotspot with a basic splash page. With the cost of the WR740N so low I am not overly concerned about bricking if you think a solution might work.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the build, checho. Got it working on a v5.00 TP Link 740N bought from Amazon India.

I bought a new TP-Link TL-WR740N from JD.com in China. Here is its firmware info:

5.3.16 Build 130415 Rel.68098n
WR740N 5.0/6.0/7.0 00000000

At the bottom of the hardware, it says V5.8

I found the tl-wr740nv5-webflash.bin file in the last 5 beta builds. I tried to upload the bin file in the web management UI, but got the error code 18000. I tried all 5 available beta builds.

I wonder if I am doing anything wrong. Appreciate any help.

I'm unable to find working revert files for TL-WR740Nv5. I tried the one from following url.

http://www.friedzombie.com/tplink-stripped-firmware/

But It doesn't work. Can you post revert file for this router?

Hello folks, first time poster and bona fide noob here. Since the last post was just over a week ago, I am hoping as hell this thread's still active cause this is the only one I could find regarding version 5.0 of the TL-WR740N router.

So I flashed the firmware uploaded by checho and the flashing process went fine. Got a flash successful message and the router rebooted but now I can't access the router homepage and there's no WiFi. Now, even though my ethernet cable's connected to my PC via the router, I have internet access and my Xperia picks up the Wifi network named DDWRT and it even says its connected but there's no WiFi.

I have tried accessing the config page with different default gateways e.g 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, 123.236.162.1(that's what it shows as the default gateway after typing ipconfig /all. I even tried the default address - http://tplinkwifi.net but no luck. When I try to open what used to be the stock firmware's config page from bookmarks(192.168.0.1), it appears that the page is loading before it displays a connection has timed out error.

Would someone kindly tell me what exactly I have gotten myself into? Is my router bricked (fingers crossed its not)and if not, how do I go about recovering it? Since the config page isn't available, I can't flash stock firmware and I am unaware of many other methods. Have read about the 30/30/30 rule but will that erase flashed firmware? Even if it does, I'd like this firmware to work on my router cause there's no official ddwrt firmware for this version of the router.
checho or anyone else, please help me fix my router if possible. Thanks.

Use only one, Factory that's all you need
192.168.1.1 it's your new ip

@xeno, do not upload stock FW or you will. brick it
