I tried to return to the default firmware WA801ND with help of the file in this topic, but I couldn't do it. Can anybody fix it and upload this file again? I think that the problem exactly in this file because with help of webrewert by WR841NDV5 I did it without a problem, but I couldn't return the default firmware.

This thread is for keeping webrevert files in one place instead of being spread over different threads in the Atheros sub-forum.
Please keep it free from unnecessary discussions so that your fellow users doesn't have to wade through pages until they find the file they are looking for.
I will update this post for each new file I add so that it reflects the contents of the thread.
The files are packed in .rar archives, not to save space since they don't compress very much but to add an extra layer of integity check on them, if you can unpack the archive then your download was error free and you can proceed by uploading the .bin file to dd-wrt's web gui upgrade page.
I only do these files for routers which has a very short tftp window which makes it almost impossible to tftp a stock firmware file to the router.
Buffalo routers are not among those so don't ask me for unencrypted Buffalo revert files.
After hard reset followed by revert flashing via dd-wrt gui (appears to work correctly in a few seconds and reboots router), followed by hard reset....dd-wrt still remains with all settings reset to factory defaults and does NOT revert back to stock firmware...any advice would be most welcome?

Webrevert for WDR4300 does not work
Then give me a serial log from the update attempt.
1st I tried to update using DD-WRT WebUI.
Simply failed coz after upgrade, I still land at DD-WRT GUI.
The webrevert files I do are only intented to be used via the web gui and as you saw they don't brick the router if used as intended.

2nd attempt (router still on) was using Telnet.
The error msg similar like:
mtd write failed: linux.
After I switch OFF-ON the router, it's bricked.
Maybe I can recover using telnet again, I don't try it again.
Yes it is bricked now, you can not use the webrevert file for a tftp flash or a direct mtd write flash.
You'll need the serial adapter now, there is no working telnet in a bricked router.
I asked for a serial log of an update using the web gui, a log that will show why the web gui rejects the revert file.
Then give me a serial log from the update attempt.
You mean I shall try again, now using serial TTL to RS-232 cable?
Sorry, the cable I ordered still not arrive yet
You can only debrick your router now with a serial TTL cable and you should not even have loaded the first dd-wrt build onto the router when you don't have debrick equipment..

Hello LOM, thanks for replying...could you please explain how I can provide you with the serial log you are requesting?....excuse my ignorance, I'm fairly new to DD-WRT, but we all have to start somewhere :-\

A serial TTL level converter connected to the routers internal serial port, the same adapter one can use for debricking, and a terminal program on your computer.
Let the router boot the dd-wrt firmware and you will have a console connection much like a telnet connection.
dd-wrt will output its debug messages on that serial port so you can now see what happens when you do a web gui firmware upgrade or revert.
