Help rolling back R8000 to factory?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I am trying to rollback my router R8000 to stock, I tried to use nrmpflash on Arch Linux without success. Every time I upload the next line below is >> ACK(0) with no data being sent, it's just "uploading..." and then ">> ACK(0)", and nothing happens no matter how long I leave it there for.

The way I always to do it is to keep the router off, I run the command sudo nmrpflash -vvv -i enp3s0 -f R8000-V1.0.4.84_10.1.84.chk, then I turn the router on.

I would appreciate any input since there's a lot of things I tried and are left to try, but this could probably take a lot less time if I had some help especially from people who already have experience with this and may understand what's going on. I had used nrmpflash before but last time it was pretty easy.

I already looked at this page as well https://forum.openwrt.org/t/solved-how-to-rollback-r8000-to-factory-oem-firmware/

This is what the terminal looks like

sudo nmrpflash -vvv -a 192.168.1.1 -A 192.168.1.108 -i enp4s0 -f R8000-V1.0.4.84_10.1.84.chk

fixed by updating to nmrpflash version 0.9.22-12 https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash/issues/143

Turns out it was not an issue with my router or openwrt. Don't use the AUR version until it catches up.
