I am interested in knowing if it was possible to flash the firmware into this router, cause I just went to the supported devices list and it's still not listed.

It will not be added to the supported list until Brainslayer releases a build for it. Not saying the modified build does or does not work. The supported list does not include modified builds, that's all.

I don't own the router so I can't test it.

Upgrade to dd-wrt via the GUI. Instead of using a factory (TP-Link) file, use one of the ones I provided earlier in this thread. https://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-688.html

If that fails use TFTP, which I can explain more on later.

Hi,

Via GUI the file was rejected. I tried via tftp:

I unziped the factory-to-ddwrt_33772_941HPv1, moved to /tftpboot as wr941hpv1_tp_recovery.bin (got the name from sniffing on eth), and watched on wireshark as the device booted with reset pressed. After wps light was on, I released the reset and could see the file being fetched by tftp. After a while the device rebooted and the original firmware is still there.

That means it did not actually flash the file. It was rejected for some reason. The only way to tell why the file was rejected is to hook up a serial cable (USB-UART, 3.3V) to the router. Don't actually hook up the VCC, you just need Ground, Tx and Rx.

He reclaims that the image size is too small. Really, the original firmware have +- 6MB of size. I have tryied to tftp with OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, Gargoyle and all another but without success...

Too small is better than too big. Too big usually leads to an instant brick. Too small will either flash and work or not flash at all.

I still believe someone needs to hook up a USB-TTL cable to the router and see why it is refusing to flash it. It always provides some sort of error message via serial.

That is a problem. I connect the cable and the error is that. He validates something on file size and I don't know how the flash process is stopped. Same validation is made on GUI.

Any progress on a solid build of DD-WRT for the TL-WR941HP? Nothing that's been published thus far works. Want to make sure that the firmware properly configures the onboard power amplifiers, which are the whole reason for this model's existence!

Hello, I also need a dd-wrt solid build for this device!

Also, as the above colleague said, it must be compatible with the power amplifiers.

Thanks.

"I want support but nobody has sent a sacrificial device to the developers." This thread is over 2 years old. Somebody punch the keys on the till so it registers. You can't get proper support without donating the router.

I can donate a few bucks, but I definitely can't donate the router, sorry. Maybe we could do some crowdfunding between the interested users.

I guess if people chime in, y'all can work something out to put together the money to buy one to donate, otherwise, it seems like interest has pretty much dropped. I don't think TP-Link sends devices to be ported of their own free will.
