Background:
I have a c9 V1 that I flashed to :r29519 std 04/25/16
A. I have read some threads about going back to stock. From what I read I could simply flash the original Tp-Link firmware through TFTP (renamed archerc9v1_tp_recovery.bin). (because r29519 was new enough to not touch the partitions some earlier ones fouled). When I perform the tftp flash It stops at around 90% and the router reboots to dd-wrt. I have tried both files on the tp-link website. both stop at 90%, reboot DDWRT. (using tftpd64) (not getting a bootloop)
B. If I am stuck with DD-wrt now what is the most stable build these days after all this testing talking? one that I can just upgrade to thru dd-wrt gui.
I am in a bind and your help is GREATLY GREATLY APPRECIATED.
just got my archer C1900 V1 with Firmware Version:3.18.0 Build 20160201 Rel.42677n
Brainslayer had said the C1900 is like a C9 v2, but I figured most if not all of us who bought this C1900 from Costco have not been able to flash ddwrt onto their routers.
I tried the "factory-to-ddwrt.bin" to initially flash ddwrt onto this router
But instead you'll get
"Error code: -5533
Error occurred, please try again."
The stock firmware and the only firmware available on the TP-Link website is the "3.17.0 Build 20151009 Rel.61423n" for Hardware Version: ArcherC1900 v1
If anyone who has successfully flashed their C1900, any advice would be welcome, or if anyone wants to pretty much confirm that it's not possible because it's locked, then that'll be helpful as well.

I'm in the same situation, flashed original tp-link fw via TFTP, but the router rebooted back to dd-wrt.
My archer c9 v1 is back to stock.But my mac is on last digit +1 incremented and my wifi works only 2.4ghz. Wifi leds are off.
Is flashing radio.bin gonna fix my wifi? Must i take a current release dd-wrt-from-factory and change mac? Must I input mac -1? Than tftp factory to get fully functional factory?
Tried update from tp-link gui to dd-wrt.
Now the router only resets with all lights on.
I can do a TFTP recovery(tryed all stock versions) but still resets with all lights on.
Can it try dd-wrt but dont know webflash or factory_to_wrt?
hi guys, how exactly do i go out of boot loop? ctrl+c, tpl dont work , c9 v1
Hi, I've the same situation as you. Keep on bootloop and can't even type "tpl" or "Ctrl-C" in putty
Cannot enter anything or any prompt to enter any command.
I did tried every files and method and read the whole thread. All just don't work with my C9 v2!
I feel so frustrated with my C9!
Can anyone help me? What happen? What should I do?

I second that. I tried 2 diff. stock firmware, but after reboot it still reverts back to dd-wrt. anyone got solution to get past this?
My experience when router is powered on with UART connected I get an orange light on router and router does not boot correctly.
To fix I simply hold reset button on router while everything is connected until it cycles and then hold Ctrl+C.
This is essayist way I have found and have been successful reverting 3 separate Archer C9 on several occasions. _________________ Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r***** std
