So you did the same mistake as this user:
I've successfully installed and ran OpenWrt on my new Archer C60 V3 (EU) but then decided to revert to the stock firmware. I used the update firmware feature of the Luci interface to (force) install the firmware I found here: https://www.tp-link.com/no/support/download/archer-c60/v3/#Firmware
After leaving it for 5 minutes, only the router's power LED comes on (after the initial all-LED flash). I've tried the TFTP recovery method but I don't know what the file name should be, but worse, if I pl…
There is a reason why you don't "force install" OEM firmware images. It doesn't work. Sysupgrade is intended for OpenWrt firmware images.
Skimming through the thread it seems you cannot go back to stock firmware, once you flashed OpenWrt. If the bootloader is still operational, you have unbrick it using the OpenWrt firmware.

Without a way to know what is actually happening inside the device: No.
