Documentation To return to original firmware (uninstall Gargoyle) - Tested with TP-Link WR741ND:

Screenshots

Forum
2: Download a app called "winscp517".

Contact

I've executed this procedure on:

TP-Link WR740N v4.23 that was running OpenWrt 12.09

using wr740nv4_en_3_16_5_up_boot(130329).bin firmware (Downloaded from here:
http://www.tp-link.com/resources/softwa ... 130329.zip)

it worked perfectly.

Thanks!

1x WRT54GL v1.1 Gargoyle 1.5.6

1x TL-WR740N v4.23 Gargoyle 1.6.2

1x TL-WR740N v4.26 Gargoyle 1.5.11

1x TL-WR740N v4.26 Gargoyle 1.8.1

1x TL-WDR3600 v1.3 Gargoyle 1.5.11

You should only cut a firmware if you are using a firmware with boot

You never posted router brand, model and Ver. This links you to cutted files you can skip cutting step if you find your file
here ftp://tplink-forum.pl/orgin_bez_boot/

2 Download and install WinSCP (http://winscp.net);

4 Download putty (http://www.putty.org/)

5 On WinSCP:

5.1 Select New Site;

5.2 File protocol: SCP;

5.3 Hostname: 192.168.1.1 (or your router IP);

5.4 Username: root

5.5 Password: your admin pass

5.6 Drag downloaded firmware from Download folder and drop in /tmp

5.7 (Important, I think...) On Transfer Settings, select Binary

5.8 Transfer;

6 On putty;

6.1 Login on 192.168.1.1 (user root and pass);

6.2 Type:

cd /tmp (Enter)

mtd -r write /tmp/tplink.bin firmware (Enter)

Note: Use at your own risk.

Worked perfectly on both tl-wr740n & tl-wr741nd....

But when attempted on TL-WR841N it showed

BUS ERROR

and after that the router keeps on rebooting within a second (all the LEDs
keeps on glowing within a second).

PLEASE Help Out Here

firstly get out of root by:

cd ..

then

cd tmp

dd if=orig.bin of=tplink.bin skip=257 bs=512

mtd -r write /tmp/tplink.bin firmware

Thanks, my ISP changed some settings and I could not logon to PPPoE without a service name. Used this thread to get
back to my original firmware.

Router: TP Link Model No. TL-WR740N / TL-WR740ND

Version: 4.27

Used firmware: wr740nv4_en_3_17_0_up_boot(150105).bin

on Putty used chdir instead of cd

Also, had to come out of root.. so the following commands used

chdir ..

chdir tmp

dd if=orig.bin of=tplink.bin skip=257 bs=512

mtd -r write /tmp/tplink.bin firmware

Worked like a charm.
