Model: TL-WDR4300  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Dear community,

I wanted to try OpenWRT in my TL-WDR4300 but I was not satisfied with the results so I decided to go back to original firmware. After flashing the original firmware, it is not able to boot anymore :-( I have tried the TFTP recovery method but no luck. Any help? Thanks in advance.

I used this FW version to try to recover TL-WDR4300_V1_150518

Hello, sorry about that.

 

As per your description, it seems that the router is damaged when you tried to flash the firmware back. According to the warranty policy, we may not be able to help you replace it since you flashed the OpenWRT firmware and failed to flash it back:
