I'm looking for the Firmware Stock (stripped) TL-WA850RE v1 file. All the links I've checked are not working anymore. Someone who has the file saved on PC or elsewhere? Thanks!
The https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wa850re states what should be stripped, and how much ?
I know this page well. I stripped by my own but device says "The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform." I found that video https://youtu.be/ZBr8h0vMWvc The guy has the openwrt files and the one Im looking for. But his links in the description are also unavailable.
what's the current state of the unit ?
Do you have openwrt running, or stock FW?

Running sysupgrade from ssh might be an option, since it can be forced.
But I don't know if that's actually supported, for going back to stock 
Might brick your device.
TP-Link usually have TFTP enabled uboot, so that's another option to look into.
Seems undocumented though.
Any special reson for going back, there are 19.07 images for your unit at:

I want to sell it but I'm stuck with going to the original firmware... 
ah!
Well, you could try upgrading, since the new version might me more forgiving when it comes to
the file format, but it's a gamble.
