Restoring Stock firmware on TL-WR902AC

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 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.
