我的740n v2 原本刷了gargoyle 1.4.7
今天想升到1.5.x， 我先backup setting file
升到1.5.10之後，再把 setting file restore
看似順利， 但變磚了 ！！！！！

進了下載 firmware page , 才看到一句話
WARNING: Do not attempt to preserve settings when upgrading from versions ≤ 1.5.6 to 1.5.7+

我咧，寫得這麼不明顯，擺明要害人....
本來心灰意冷，準備要再上pchome再買一台740n

後來google 一下關鍵字
gargoyle bricked router

找到下面的救星

應該是gargoyle 開了一個failsafe 的mode,
不過我試了好久，丟 gargoyle 的firmware 進去都不行,因為不是 brcm 的trx file
後來抓了tp-link 官網的740n firmware 才成功.......
終於回覆成 tp-link firmware

I brick too (lost /bin folder), but simple recover. My steps:
1. Load in failsafe mode. Power on router, when sys led blink hold QSS button then sys led blink faster. Now we in failsafe mode.
2. Connect PC to LAN1
3. IP settings on PC is 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0
4. Launch web-server on PC. Put firmware to it (firm.bin)
5. Connect to router via telnet (Putty telnet)
6. Enter in console: sysupgrade http://192.168.1.2/firm.bin
7. Router upgrade and reboot.
