[Solved] Can't unbrick Archer C50V4

Hi,

unfortunately I bricked my C50V4 by pressing the reset button.
Now I'm trying to unbrick it, but can't succeed.

I tried to follow the instructions on https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=01dcd574a24864c10a9c4df4304a3ce0da5c11a9

I see that the router gets the created tp_recovery.bin via tftp, but it seems not to be able to install it.
A few seconds after the tftp-transfer the router reboots (all LEDS flash once) and then only the first (power) LED is on.

Any hints for me (or a link to a flash-ready firmware)

Thanks in advance,
f.

I found the solution:
On https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer-c50 there is a link to a Dropbox-file (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2j6v8b8gjafcal2/AABcCZ56zQ4nxXu15fMTHhODa?dl=0)
With the tp_recovery from this file I was able to unbrick the router via tftp.
