Hi!
I heard that TP-links are not locked anymore in USA. Can somebody
confirm that?

The last I heard there was a workaround for the locking by copy and pasting
header info from the TP-link image to the OpenWRT image:

I just flashed a "locked" TL-WDR-4300 last night using the latest beta
DD-WRT "U.S. version" image and then re-flashed with OpenWRT using mtd.
Works great. It seems that dd-wrt has figured out the header issue.

Are you sure it wasn't an older model from before the lockout that had just
been sitting around in someone's stock for awhile?

Pretty sure. It did not accept latest OpenWRT over TFTP nor via the Web UI.
Nor did it accept the non-u.s. (non-header-fixed) DD-WRT. The older models
on our shelf had no such problem.

Here are my notes on the process:
Download DD-WRT with fixed header for U.S. "locked" version.
```
wget
ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/03-07-2016-r29218/tplink_tl-wdr4300v1/facto…
```
Access original TP-Link web UI on 192.168.0.1
Log in using user/pass admin/admin.
Flash the factory-to-ddwrt-us.bin using the TP-Link web UI firmware upgrade.
Log in to ddwrt web UI on 192.168.1.1
Enable SSH in services section on port 2222 (for some reason port 22 didn't
work for me).
Enable SSH access in admin.
scp an OpenWRT factory image .bin file to root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
ssh into 192.168.1.1 and run:
```
mtd -r write openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wdr4300-v1-squashfs-factory.bin linux
```
OpenWRT has now been flashed.

TP-LINK routers in EU aren't locked, and US versions have simple work
around to flash OpenWrt on them...
I have been buying few WR74x and WR84x devices each month and none so
far has been locked, all are EU versions.
If anyone got some locked TPLINK device in EU I would be interested to hear...
Cheers,
Valent.
