How to Recovery the Cudy Router From OpenWRT Firmware to Cudy Official Firmware?

1. Download and unzip the file from here

 

2. Download the latest firmware from the official website and rename it to 'recovery.bin'.  Note: You must put it in the same file of Tftpd tools.

3. Power off your Router. Unplug the power adapter or press the POWER button.

4. Connect your computer the Router's LAN port with an Ethernet cable. 

Note: Only one model is an exception: the TR1200. The WAN port must be connected during firmware recovery. All other models use the LAN port.

5. Configure your computer's IP address to be '192.168.1.88' manually. 

6. Run 'tftp32.exe'.

7. Run 'netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off' in the command line to disable Windows firewall, otherwise tftp will be blocked. Or you can disable the firewall on the Control Panel of your computer. As shown below.

8. Press the 'Reset' button/hole and hold it. Before the Router is powered on and before tftp start to download the firmware, don't release the 'Reset' button/hole. 

9. Power on the Router. 

10. When the Lights are all flashing fast, or when tftp start to download the firmware, you can release the 'Reset' button/hole.

11. When the light flashes slowly, the upgrade is complete.

12. Please recover your computer's IP address to be dynamic IP. 

13. Done.

@Dear John,
So what steps have you done when recover the router. Please tell me one by one in details.

“I have a WR3000H (one of three that I just bought last week using the BOGO Amazon offer) that I flashed correctly to OpenWrt, and after setting it up, disconnected from to move it to it’s final location.

Upon powering it up, nothing works, brought it back to my test bench, and nothing works. The instructions here to restore it to Cudy firmware are also not working – tftpd64 does nothing, never starts downloading the recovery.bin to the device, and during startup when connected to my PC, my NIC briefly gets an IP address of 192.168.1.1, but nothing else ever happens (noticed this phenomenon when I first brought it back to find out why it was not registering on my network).

I’ve followed the steps above explicitly (including unplugging the other NICs in the PC from active connections), but it is not working at all."

@Уважаемый вася,
К сожалению, заводская информация по умолчанию маршрутизатора была удалена. Мы не можем ее восстановить. Рекомендую вам приобрести новый маршрутизатор.

“здравствуйте,на wr300 после возвращения с openwrt на официальную прошивку,поле создания/ввода пароля не активно,а под ним строка “Неверная информация о доске!”из-за чего нельзя войти в настройки устройства и настроить его.Как исправить?”
