Hi everyone. I have read a lot of posts on how to revert back to stock firmware but I always get the error: The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format....
I am using TP-Link TL-WR941ND.
I tried both converting to trx from the instructions provided and also the revert zip file but always get the same error!

Pay attention or your next posts will be I have bricked my 901
You need to use a web revert file or a file with no boot, do not load stock firm or you will brick 901
There is no such a thing as converting to try or ZIP file, that's something your seeing cause of Windows matter, just download web revert, look for it in this 4 pages and be careful to chose the right version here http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=85237&start=0

Already trier that but was still getting the same error. I then did it the manual way via scp the router rebooted but now got a set of flashing lights and the router keeps on rebooting...

I was clear, I posted use Webrevert or a file with no boot, where did you get the file with no boot.
If you loaded webrevert via WinSCP, that was wrong, you bricked, that's why I posted.

Thanks for your reply. I got it from the same source but since it was not working via the GUI I did it via scp... tried rebooting and hard rebooting but same thing...
Use the tftpd method to unbrick and revert back to TP-Link firmware at the same time.
The video below is for a TP-Link WR841ND, but this method works with most TP-Link models.
Watch the video first, completely, and pay attention to the details.
Then proceed to unbrick yours.
