Model: Archer MR200  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version:

Hi

 

I first installed Archer MR200(EU)_V4_210201 and then I tried to install OpenWrt. But the OpenWrt firmware was not compatible with the v4.

 

Then I re-install Archer MR200(EU)_V4_210201 again, via TFTP, the router reboots and starts to uncompress the kernel. But then I get this error:

Uncompressing Kernel Image ... LZMA ERROR 1 - must RESET board to recover

 

What can I do ro recover my MR200v4?

@mrhaav 

Hi, Did you try the factory reset the modem?

And currently, our LTE gateway routers do not support firmware recovery via TFTP.

@TP-Link 

 

I have TP Link Archer 750 Router (MR200 with LTE , V5), there was an interruption during the firmware upgrade.

From then it never turns on, the power indicator keep flashing.

 

From you post I noticed the LTE model doesn't have TFTP, then how to resolved this issue? How can I reinstall the frimware?

In my case the TFTP "function" was OK.

I create the tp_recovery.bin file with:

dd bs=512 skip=1 count=16000 if=LTE_GATEWAY_1.19.0_0.9.1_up_boot(210201)_all_2021-02-01_19.17.11.bin of=tp_recovery.bin

and loaded it via TFTP. TFTP server IP: 192.168.0.255 /24
