Hi,
I have TL-WR1043ND with Gargoyle installed on it.

I need to go to stock firmware, but when I try to update the router with the stock firmware it says "Firmware contains a bootloader. Your router can not be upgraded".

I tried pretty much everything on the internet. Thanks

Did you follow the wiki for your device which covers this scenario?

It depends on your hardware version (V1.x, V2.x, ...). You must have "stripped firmware": https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl ... l_firmware or https://www.friedzombie.com/tplink-stripped-firmware/

V1: https://www.friedzombie.com/tplink-stri ... R1043ND-V1

V2: https://www.friedzombie.com/tplink-stri ... R1043ND-V2

V3: http://www.xup.in/dl,79323997/wr1043nd_v3_stripped.zip/

Many, many thanks! I could not find the V3 stripped version on the web!

I am back to stock firmware now.
