Are you just wanting to CrossFlashing to W9980 Firmware or are you after installing OpenWRT Firmware.

If your just going to crossflash you don't need to worry about the uboot header bud, only if your trying to install OpenWRT are you going to need to worry about the uboot header.

If your going from tp liink w8980 to w9980, you don't need to worry at all about the RSA headers you simply use a pre-cut image with out the uboot section, then after that upgrade to latest firmware via web gui. If your going to flash openwrt then you worry about RSA headers and simply downgrade each firmware till you get to the first firmware release.

My problem is i cant inicialize my uboot version and i think it have another unknown procedure to inicialize. Maybe 2015+ devices have this problem.

I want only crossflash my router to td w9980, since this router is not sold in Brazil.

To work the putty must be configured without xonxoff or hardware handshake.
See my guide to crossflash 8980 to 9980 here: http://adrenaline.uol.com.br/forum/showthread.php?t=497887&page=252&p=1070237896#post1070237896

To interrupt the boot just keep taping any key in putty after power on the modem.

The configuration of putty is OK.

The usb-serial adapter in video looks identical that I use. PL-2303HX.
Comparing to my adapter I noticed that the pins soldered doesn't match.
In my adapter the pins are 2-TXD , 3-RXD and 4-GND. The external pins 1 and 5 are for power only ( 1 - 3.3v and 5 - 5V ).
In the video the pins soldered are RXD, GND and 5V.

Could you please look if the pinout is the same ?

Your clearly having problems with the ttl adaptor.With the cost of them only being a few UK pounds Why not get hold of another one from that well known auction site.

Hi guys, new to this forum, have ordered USB to TTL cable :) and would like to put openwrt on my 8980, if i read this correctly i can downgrade the firmware till i get to an openwrt compatible version?
can i use the image you provide on the youtube download link (8980 one) to downgrade to?
I like this router , seems to be fairly stable but would like a few more bells and whistles :)
Thx for your hard work

As far as i am aware its just a simple Flash via TTL for OpenWRT after you have removed the uboot partition for the openWRT image.

However certain functions are not working as of yet as i understand which are pointed out in this thread: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=49413

If it was fully working i would of made another video just to flash OpenWRT to our routers but i have held back from flashing it as its not classed to me as stable.

I really dont know why to thank you. You finally solve my problem.  I never would think that was my TTL Adapter that had any incompatibility or any defective function.  I buy another  D-SUN model and my Putty windows finally initialize uboot.  I can now advise to not buy my model, below.



Now you can see what i was waiting for a long time. :silly:
