Hi chenshaoju,

I bricked my TL-WR1043ND too a few times and recovered it successfully every time.
You can find the way to recover your unit on the OpenWRT site.

Here are the steps:

1. Download modified original firmware that has first 0x20200 cut off, or use firmware attached below.
2. Gain access to the serial port and hook it up to your computer using RS-232 / USB --> TTL adapter.
3. Install Putty, setup Serial connection, set COM port appropiately to your adapter in step 2 and do not click Open yet
4. set networkcard of computer to ip address: 192.168.0.5 , subnetmask 255.255.255.0 and no gateway
5. Install TFTP32 server (google it) on your computer, connect computer with ethernet cable to LAN switch port on router.
6. Make sure the "Current Directory" in TFTP32 is set to folder with modified original firmware renamed to "code.bin"
7. In Putty, click open and plug in Power cord to router... you should see bootloader coming up now...
8. You will see something like this:

No valid address in Flash. Using fixed address
: cfg1 0xf cfg2 0x7114
eth0 up
eth0
Autobooting in 1 seconds## Booting image bf0200000...

Then type following fast: tpl

Now you will get into the command prompt and you're able to execute commands.

9. Erase the firmware before writing it again using following command: erase 0xbf020000 +7c0000
10. Download new modified original firmware from computer to the router: tftpboot 0x81000000 code.bin
11. Write the downloaded firmware to flash using: cp.b 0x81000000 0xbf020000 0x7c0000
12. Boot the original firmware again: bootm 0xbf020000

Your router should be unbricked again!


Hi.
I stucked on step 10.
I type "tftpboot 0x81000000 code.bin" and happens nothing. Is showed a message "TFTP frp, server 192.168.0.5; our IP address is 192.168.0.2"

And then, stay loading and reloading forever...
The 192.168.0.5 is the IP of my card (step 4)


Could anybody help me?

Hi seytodamfj,

I've just recovered my 1043nd. But I didnt anything special to solve it.

Try changing the version of the tftpd32 (I used this version with the zipfile, but my OS is 64 bits and its wasnt working) and I left the fw on the same directory.

Another point was I set "none" on TFTP security.
Each changing the settings, restart your router with the power cord.

Well... I did it and worked here!

Good luck.

Thanks, now another question in step 4 I have to manually set the address and that necessarily has to be 192.168.0.5 and Mask: 255.255.255.0 or can I put any other type 192.168.1.4?

Another thing the TPL command you used to enter some software for you, because I can never do it?

thank you,

Hello all!

I build a cable to convert from TTL to RS232 using this schematic
http://sodoityourself.com/max232-serial-level-converter/

The thing is.. it doesn't work :S

I wanted to ask you, if you know that the VCC port of the router is really powered at 3.3V
I'm suspecting that the router isn't powering up the circuit :S

Help :S

Why do not you just buy the cheap USB-TTL converter? I just flashed the router using the RS-323 guide without any problem. Thanks for it! You only need Ground, TX and RX. I would not connect any voltage wires! PC is powered by power source and router by 12 V adapter. No need to put 3,3V there.

Well, the thing is... where I live, it is faster to buy the components and build a cable, rather than wait 1-2 weeks to receive a USB to TTL cable, so I thought "what the hell, lets just build one.."
