well I'm kinda stuck here now...
I have the serial connected up and and im watching it do its thing, than it gets stuck at =>>>>WARNING:TFTP RFTEST FROM PC ERROR!
I have made an empty file RFTEST anf put it in my TFTP and its not grabbing it. Also I cant kill the router in in console to even issue commands. so now its just looping =>>>>WARNING:TFTP RFTEST FROM PC ERROR! forever.

**update**
I was able to get into main system now over UART using root/sohoadmin
I only had to slam the keys a million times really fast to get the login to come up,
but there is no flash command that I'm seeing and I dont want to test my luck with dd just yet because I dont know if thats going to be the best solution as of yet.
Ok so im logged in as root over UART but no worthwile commands work. It fills like the most stripped down ver of busybox ever. No VI no CP no MV no DD nothing to actually help me even reflash this box ;(
If you have a better solution let me know
So now going even further I need to set my ip to 192.168.0.100 and tftp serve rftest.
Than I can go to 192.168.0.1 and tp-link firmware is there and no more rapid blink power light, BUT if you reboot you have to serve the file again or back to rapid blinking lights and no web unless you run httpd in console. I cant upgrade FW from the web flash (not even dd-wrt) it gives me an error -5555 but I figured that would happen. I can post logs if needed. As of right now though I dont understand how webflahs is even trying to flash the FW because if done a cat on the Softwareupgrade.htm and its only java script for buttons but not pointing anywhere. If I could figure out that command it was running I would be able to flash a new FW.
Got it thanks! That finally worked! I now have CFE >I think one of my connections was lose because I was trying to break the operation all day yesterday to no avail.
I am going to try to flash the router now with stock FW
I'll report back in a bit.
Now it wont even pull a file with flash getting CFE command status 21 error

Rebooted and now CFE comes up instantly and I get:

Do not use recovery file on CFE. Recovery file have header etc.
Use My file 12.bin or edit recovery file and cut header.
Correct firmware for CFE, start with hex:
48 44 52 30 00 50 1A 00 8C 91 25 84 00 00 01 00 1C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5D 00 00 01

Du You have running TFTP server on this IP? Disable temporary firewall.
Yeah its running and no firewall. I was abole to tftpover the original tplink fw and after it rebooted it got stuck in CFE. Now it will time out when I try I send it any file for flashing
