Error code: 18005
Upgrade unsuccessfully because the version of the upgraded file was incorrect. Please check the file name.

Im using a OpenWrt With Luci Modified firmware:

openwrt-15.05.1-wr841n-v11-squashfs-factory.bin

In old versions like this works: TL-WR841N_V11_150616 but in actual stock firmware no.

ONLY FOR tl-wr841n v11 (Steps to recovery bricked router or flashing locked versions.)

1º Install pumpKIN (windows) or another similar server.
2º Put ethernet in 192.168.0.66 static
3º Dowload the correct OpenWrt Firmware and change his name ( for v11 version only name) : wr841nv11_tp_recovery
4º Start pumpKIN server, connect LAN on Yellow port, turn off the router , push reset button and turn on the router, the program will detect automatically and when the lock led are green, the process end.

Enjoy smile
