Hi everyone,
I'm currently researching a TP-Link NX510v v1.0 running an ISP-customized firmware and I'm trying to determine whether it is possible to obtain root access, either through software or hardware methods.
Device Information
Model: TP-Link NX510v v1.0
ISP-customized firmware
Firmware version:
Hardware: NX510v v1.0
Firmware: 1.2.0 Build 240828 Rel.58690n
The web interface appears to be heavily restricted compared to the retail firmware.
What I tried so far
SSH(responds but no password) Backups dump and decrypt Hidden diag pages Web form Injections
What I'm Looking For
I'm interested in any known method of gaining root access, including but not limited to:
Hidden web pages
Hidden API endpoints
Debug interface
Telnet
SSH
ADB
Recovery mode
TFTP recovery
Firmware downgrade
Bootloader access
Firmware extraction/decryption
Known vulnerabilities (CVE)
GPL source code
OpenWrt compatibility
Any previous research on this device
UART / Hardware Access
If there is no software-based approach, I already opened the device.
I can provide:
High-resolution photos of both sides of the PCB
Close-up photos of every connector and header
SoC markings
NAND/eMMC flash markings
RF front-end
Power circuitry
Any test pads or unpopulated headers
I'd appreciate help identifying:
UART pins
UART voltage (3.3V / 1.8V)
JTAG or SWD pads
Bootloader console
U-Boot access
Boot interruption methods
Flash dump procedure
Additional Questions
Has anyone already:
Obtained root access?
Dumped the firmware?
Extracted the filesystem?
Reverse engineered the web interface?
Found hidden services or undocumented APIs?
Disabled the ISP customization?
Installed a custom firmware?
Identified the CPU/SoC platform?
Located the bootloader environment?
Enabled additional modem AT commands?
Goal
My goal is not to use the router for anything malicious. I'd simply like to unlock its full capabilities, learn more about the hardware, and hopefully gain root access for research purposes.
Any information, documentation, previous research, photos, firmware dumps, or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
