Hi robimarko
I have wr840n v.5 and successfully install LEDE. Then I try again to restore stock firmware using TFTP.
Now I have bricked device (Green led blink) and i need TFTP image with bootloader.

Thanks in advice

88

If green LED is blinking then you dont need bootloader since if you didnt have the bootloader your router would be totaly dead.

Like I said,I cant help you go back to stock.
But I can send you TFTP image to recover to LEDE

89

Will be great to recover LEDE. Can you send me link to image?

Thank you

is wr840n v5 ready for use or still on testing phase

91

Its ready for use but driver for MT7628 wifi is not so great.
Altough tommorow LEDE should use bumped driver

Hi all.
I want to share some experience how to revert to stock firmware WR840N v5.
1.Copy or wget original(stock) firmware to /tmp folder on LEDE
2.Strip original image with dd cmd to remove bootloader part from image
2.1. SSH to LEDE cd to /tmp and run:
dd if=originalfw.bin of=originalfw_striped.bin skip=257 bs=512
3.Execute: sysupgrade originalfw_striped.bin
4.After reboot I have stock firmware on my router

your a genius, thank you so much for this

94

i suffered from same problem. I loaded lede snapshot on 840 but only green light blinking. Lan ethernets not working, Wan ethernet shows its connected. Help to revert back to stock firmware.

95

Can you get me log over serial?
Without it I cant really help you.

96

where can i get serial header pics ?

97

There is no need for it since all pins are labeled

98

The skip 257 is unique to this router, or does it also work on others.

99

I think will work on others.I follow few links:
