Model: TL-WR902AC  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 9.1.0.2

Hi all,

 

Having an issue reverting to stock firmware on my TL-WR902AC after experimenting with OpenWRT on it. Going to OpenWRT was easy. Connected a laptop via ethernet, ran a TFTP server, named OpenWRT to tp_recovery.bin and voila. I was expecting reverting back would be the same process; i.e. downloading the stock firmware, renaming it to tp_recovery.bin, etc. The router downloads the tp_recovery.bin file just fine but then goes into a error mode (all lights blinking). The only option I have is to re-flash the OpenWRT.

 

Anyhelp will be appreciated.

Solved the issue with the help of this article: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/tp-link-tl-wr902ac-bad-flash-recovery/25950/5 Basically remove the first 257*512 bytes of the stock firmware and do a firmware upgrade through OpenWRT menus with the modified file.

Hi,

 

Sorry to tell you that we are not familiar with the 3rd party firmware, like OpenWRT, I'm afraid that there is not much we can help you. 

 

You can serach online to get some help though. 

 

Meanwhile, below is the statement regarding to use the 3rd party firmware.

Hi Kevin, I was hoping to hear there is a more generic way to get back hope (back to stock firmware) as opposed to a specific way back from OpenWRT. Thanks for looking.
