As per title, I think I've bricked my router when I flash an image through ssh + winscp.

I managed to put the image using WinSCP into the router /tmp folder, then I use ssh to execute the flash command 'mtd -r write tplink.bin firmware'

After flashing, the router no longer boot up normally. It keeps restarting and can never stay connected (LAN) for more then 2 seconds. Obviously now I also can't access the router page via 192.168.1.1 or 0.1

I've tried the method using TFTP, where it will look for the file "mr3420v2_tp_recovery.bin" if I hold reset button and power up the router, beforehand having my PC LAN adapter using static IP at 192.168.0.66. It didn't detect anything or do anything. I use Solarwin TFTP server, started it but nothing happen.

So, is there any other way? If not I can say bye2 to this router I guess.

Oh yeah, my hardware is V8. I think the reason it didn't boot up properly because I flashed the stripped v9 image instead.
