TP-Link CPE510 V1.1 bricked, trying to read recovery.bin and vmlinuz during TFTP recovery
2022-03-23 11:06:57
Model: CPE510  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:
Hello,

after flashing back from openwrt to original firmware the cpe510 became bricked.
i have tryied to recover the original firmware through Tftpd32 but as i can see 
the Cpe510 asks for recovery.bin and vmlinuz again and again.

The proccess starts without having to press the reset button. 
Same thing happens when i press reset during power up.

The version of the Cpe510 is V1.1. 
i have downloaded the original firmware fron Tplink website and vmlinuz from https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/cpe210#debricking_a_router_that_is_waiting_for_vmlinuz_that_had_installed_openwrtlede

Bellow you can see the log of the Tftpd32

Connection received from 192.168.0.254 on port 4009 [16/03 09:46:08.656]

The copy process trying to start but then a "resent" process starts and the ap reboots.
i have also tryied to connect through ssh to 192.168.0.254/22 but nothing happens.
Can you suggest anything else before doing more complex things like jtag..etc ?

thanks for your time
C.

It seems like you download the wrong latest firmware version, your device is CPE510 V1, you need to download the CPE510's latest firmware version not CPE210.

https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/cpe510/v1/#Firmware

 

If it still no help, suggest you contact the support to apply a replacement.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

Hi Virgo,

 

i have downloaded the correct version of the firmware from Tplink website.

The link above is for the vmlinuz file and i have downloaded this from openwrt page for Cpe510.

 

https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/cpe510

 

it redirects me to model Cpe210 and i have downloaded it from there

 

i cant find any other specific version of vmlinuz for CPE510

Also i have heard for a compiled version. does anyone have one to send me?

 

c.
