I have tplink tlwr841n v8.4. I want to experiment with openwrt gargoyt ddwrt but I am afraid of damage the bootloader and art partition. I have serial console working but if the bootloader messed no way to recover. My question are: what I must to know to be sure that the new firmware will not corrupt the bootloader and art ? 

Thanks

I sent you a reply via your PM as well.

Gargoyle will not touch your UBoot or your ART partitions

So no problem to install firmware without bootloader from serial console ?
What about new official firmware which contain bootloader and I cut the boot part and flash it, will it work and will I have working bootloader ?

The art partition can be deleted by mistake from serial and mtd command ? No from firmware menu

Thanks !

Any stable version of gargoyle for wr841n v8.4 ? :D
