TP W8901N and rom-0 problem
2014-10-29 06:13:51
Region : Iran

Model : TD-W8901G

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version : Firmware V:1.0.0 Build 121121 Rel.08870

ISP :

Hello;
I tried several times to update my adsl modem firmware. I did that by downloading TP-W8901N_V1_140227.zip and extracting it. inside was a ras file and pdf file. I did used the ras file for update. I load it and upgrade the moden. but still I have "Firmware Version : 1.0.0 Build 121121 Rel.08870"
it seems the update although getting done correct and complete doesn't happen and that is a show.
What should i do? beside the fact that i want to update to 2014 firmware this model suffers from rom-0 security problem. it downloads a rom-0 from the web browser which is amazing how indifferent TP-link is about its customers' security.
Plz help.

Did you read notes on their website?

As we have updated the security mechanism on this version of firmware, once you have upgraded to this firmware, you will not be able to downgrade to the old one.
You have to restore the device to factory default to make the new functions take effect; Click Maintenance->SysRestart, choose Factory Default Settings, Click RESTART button.

@ada and @everyone:
Yes I did reset factory after each attempt. and i am trying to upgrade not dowgrade my ADSl modem router.
the problem is it loads the 2014 file and goes to 100%. says update was complete and successful and reboots. but the version of the firmware is still 2012.
the clue is I still have dom-0 security problem.
and as i gathered around the web there patch work is hard and involving opening the casing and messing with the hardware.
basically i am at a lost here.
The Persian customer service doesn't do software issue and why should they. the file does't upgrade. either because not tested or chiped from relative family of ADSL modems like G version.
either way I need help.
thank you
