How to flash Archer C7 v4?

Post by toysareforboys »

I tried renaming my old ArcherC7v2_tp_recovery.bin file to ArcherC7v4_tp_recovery.bin and it successfully uploaded to the router over tftp but when the router reboots it's still the stock firmware :(

I tried the OpenWRT experimental 15.05 for v3 by risk Archer files but it said "invalid file" when I tried to upload it through the gui. I didn't try those files by tftp.

Gut shot:

The rest of the pics are up here: http://ecuflashking.com/Archer_C7_v4

Let me know how to flash these please and thanks, have a large quantity I need to flash :)

It is not supported by Gargoyle.
Stop trying random version files before you brick a device.

I don't mind bricking a few, you know... "for science" :)

Thanks for letting me know. I'll return all of them and try and track down version 2's :(
