 At the original time of writing, no method was known to recover //most models// from a bad firmware without soldering the serial cable. However, ongoing experiments suggest that **TFTP flashing is possible even without soldering** a serial port. The list of models and versions which have a factory U-Boot compiled with tftp enabled is to be determined. It's best to try it yourself because there's nothing to lose, but please do share your results at the respective wiki page.
