Still not there Yet 

Cannot still get router to go on Internet  Played around but it just dont wanna play ball.

Tried ADSL TalkTalk & others 

Just keeps saying Connecting

[hacktrix2006]

You need to set it to VDSL bud, hence why its not working, Best way is to Factory reset via the WebGUI and then use the Quick Setup section in the Webgui after it boots backup and then select VDSL it will then help you set it all correctly.

The modem is picking up the sync but its setup wrong.

Goodluck!

I see "VPI/VCI or VID" is blank in your picture, is that a requirement for TalkTalk?

That's the setting that caused me issues on BT. Without it I could sync yet could not get a IP - just like your picture.


In his last picture it is correctly set in VDSL mode (note the red text). I didn't use any of the qucikstart profiles myself.

It also seems like if you do a manual "new connection" and you screw it up, its best to delete it and start again. "Enable Vlan ID" may have been my stumbling block sorry for the confusion .

I think you probably should upgrade to the latest 9980 firmware, which can now be done via the web interface.

[Mooingall]

Good catch! Yes that was mentioned several times before hand

You are not limited to running the pre-cut image. Upgrade like normal using your web browser.

[bigtimecube]

Been playing since my last post and its just not having it..So will upgrade and see What that does

[bigtimecube]

It Works Horay.Im on it now...

Once i downloaded and put the new firmware on the choice of ISP & Connections Changed.

Before


15057 Firmware


Many thanks all for helping Me ....

Right what can i Flash next with this great Usb Gadget 

[hacktrix2006]

Oh no what have we done, we've made a TTL Flashing monster! many things can be flashed with a TTL USB cable so long as its 3.3v and not 5.0v, however its best to put it aside for now and have it to hand just incase you need it.

Feel well chuffed that i done it ...You lot on here seem to be well clued up on all this stuff. Ive been through loads of threads on here And Think to myself..What they talking about 

I find it all very interesting..

PS: Can this usb thing be plugged into the wife and change the way she boots up too 

[hacktrix2006]

I heard it is very possible to infact to do such a thing, Most us the TTL to Wife connection to uninstall Wife v1.0 and reinstall Girlfriend v2.0, but i can't verify this personally but feel free to give it a shot! Just remember if it works disable the Automatic update to Wife v1.0

Hello I buy a TD-w8980 here in Brazil. Fwr is 6017. I soldered 3 serial wires and pl2303hx ttl adapter. Connects  all tested and are ok.  Than a install tpftp32 an putty(115200 and 8N1 setup). When i open putty terminal and turn on de Modem green light became flashing, but  u-boot is not shown in putty terminal.  I really dont no if in my fwr version (6017)  this u-boot was blockes. I find an old fw ( Ver 131012 http://www.userdrivers.com/LAN-Network- … er-131012/ ) that i can flash (only it, I dont no why)  and no uboot is  showing  in putty terminal too.   I read my firmware and uboot first byte is  0x03. In http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/td-w8980 i read that they dont now how this new version of  uboot work and is rsa signed. I can downgrade only to this fw ( Version:0.6.0 1.3 v000e.0 Build 131012 Rel.51720n), that first uboot byte is 0x03 too. Please? Is there Any way to initialized this new uboot  version?

Try running putty first to test the connection if it works keep the putty window open at all costs once your ready to TFTP the image over then open and run TFTP app on Windows. Sometimes Putty and the TFTP app conflicts if TFTP is ran first before putty!

When I open putty i know that connect with usb ttl is ok(yet no tftp) . When i turn on td-w8980 green led of ttl adapter became flashing, but no data is showing in Putty windows. Blue led flashing when i pless any key of keyboard. I really have doubt how to test if connect is ok.  have you seen  anyone that  sucess flashed one TD-w8980 with uboot first byte 0x03? I have one old firmware that uboot first byte is 0x02, but i cant downgrade to that.
