Model: TL-WPA8630P KIT  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.0.4

Hello.

I managed to install an openwrt 21.02.7 openwrt fw starting from an oem 2.0.4 fw web gui, apparently successfully. LuCi worked well, wifi and ethernet ok, but the PLC itself lost the PLC network and it wasn't able to connect via pairment.

 

I tried to reinstall the same openwrt fw via LuCi but I made the big.mistake of using the same fw and bot a sysupgrade one.

 

Therefore the PLC now is "bricked": power on led blinks once, then all turn off then ethernet and wifi leds turn on then off...

 

It is now recognized by tpPLC as some kind of 8010p plc but it asks for a NVM etc not a .bin firmware update window.

 

I need some help in order to recover it...preferably wirhout having to open it.

 

If needed, I have an spi flasher and a hat but I do not have a memory dump.

 

Please help me!

Hi@Shirow ,

We understand your desire to update OpenWRT for new features or improved device performance, but these custom firmwares are not officially verified. Their security and stability cannot be guaranteed. You must revert to the original official firmware for us to continue providing troubleshooting assistance.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Hi@Shirow ,

Thanks for your reply.

 

As far as I know, there is currently no tool to restore the firmware.
The paths to update the firmware are as follows:

How to update the firmware of Powerline ac Extender via web-based management interface 
How to update the firmware using the tpPLC Utility on Windows
