Title: Convert TL-WR703N back to standard openwrt? Post by: dac_2020 on November 09, 2014, 11:28:43 PM I have a number of units which were used for mining and now I want to convert them back to openwrt.
Units are identical to new, nothing unusual hardware wize. TP-Link TL-WR703N hardware version 1.6 (even confirmed on the Ethernet port sticker, 1.6) However, everything I have tried from making my own build using the latest image builder to try both factory and sysupgrade failed, to using openwrt factory and even using original tp-link software. Each time, the upgrade bricks the device. More info in /etc in a file called avalon_version 20131229 cgminer: 698d677 cgminer-openwrt-packages: aadd747+ luci: 346e3e7+ Wondering if anyone might have some insight. Thanks.

Post by: Kluge on November 12, 2014, 02:24:41 AM Are you sure the device is bricked, or can you still communicate via TFTP? If you have the right firmware for the device, I could only guess the issue would be from not waiting long enough for the firmware to flash before hard-booting it (I screw this part up A LOT: I'm impatient). Hard to say without being in front of it, though.

Title: Re: Convert TL-WR703N back to standard openwrt? Post by: dac_2020 on November 12, 2014, 02:22:02 PM It no longer boots. One LED blink and nothing else. It doesn't look for a dhcp address nor does it set one once it goes into this mode.
I figure at this point, it's bricked. I'm saving all the bricked units and will try to serial recover them in the future. Title: Re: Convert TL-WR703N back to standard openwrt? Post by: dac_2020 on November 12, 2014, 06:45:36 PM Does anyone know what the cgminer-openwrt-packages does to the device that it cannot be returned back to a standard factory openwrt build?
Title: Re: Convert TL-WR703N back to standard openwrt? Post by: dac_2020 on November 13, 2014, 12:11:12 AM How about this... does anyone know the steps needed to convert the device to a u-boot version so that I can then restore a standard openwrt image back on these devices.
