Proper method of flashing TP-Link WR1043ND v. 1.10

[verbal225]

Hey guys, what is the proper way of flashing a factory new TP-Link WR1043ND v. 1.10? The documentation section still has gargoyle_1.3.14-ar71xx-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-factory.bin as suggested but I've already bricked a router this way.

I should use gargoyle_1.5.9-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-factory.bin correct? If I do so, do I still need to downgrade to the German firmware first before flashing 1.5.9?

do I still need to downgrade to the German firmware first before flashing 1.5.9?

Not that i am aware of, but things do change sometimes.

I did mine straight from the stock fw gui and used the latest experimental 1.5.9 because I read around people bricked using earlier versions

Went smooth on first attempt with no issues, except can't get wan IP until another full reboot after flash

Thanks guys, I actually went ahead last night and did it - flashed my v. 1.10 to the german firmware and then went to the 1.59 and it looks like everything working with no problems. Definitely need to update the documentation page though, flashing 1.3 will brick you most certainly.
