i use this bin openwrt-18.06.2-ramips-mt76x8-tl-wr840n-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade
for recovery
i found router ip adress 192.168.0.66
and getway 192.168.0.2
and tftp file request name is tp_recovery.bin
i found avove info via were shark tool
after that i tried to flash oem downloaded from tp link official server
its still blinking
I think you have to use "stripped" original firmware for recovery. Strip boot part on linux machine:
dd if=original.bin of=striped.bin skip=257 bs=512
Rename stripped.bin to tp_recovery.bin for TFTp recovery.

i flashed it but didnt work its still blinking you can se my full details in this post
Did you try file in my link? You have to wait for some time after flashing. Leave for at least 5 minutes and let us know how it goes.

Hi guys, I have the same problem with my router. I tried to flash the firmware with the boot part cropped, but I also get a bootloop. How I can to fix this problem? Link for my file without a boot part: file
Problem solved. Could return the stock firmware.
