Hello everybody,
My 4300 V1.7 got hard bricked since I upgraded to DD-WRT and then reverted back to stock. The very first time, it on boot loop and after some tries it has only Power LED light up, I tried de-soldering flash chip and write several bin file that I found on internet but useless. I'm almost getting crazy because my soldering skill very poor, just imagine each time I de-soldered and then soldered it on PCB, it's really touch but it still stay there and say "Hi, try another way your idiot".
After thousand of researching from internet, I guess I'm using wrong bin file.
So would you mind giving me a working version that match with this method and my version also.
Thank you all for reading and supporting me.

Get it working using stock first. Then put dd-wrt on it from the link in my signature. Use the factory-to-ddwrt file first. Then upgrade to newer builds using the webupgrade file.

Why did you desolder and resolder the flash chip? There is no need of that. TFTP or serial will work just fine.

Thank so much for replying my question
I tried to use tftpd method but it still on boot loop. Then I found some guides from YouTube about desoldering flash chip. Now I’m getting stuck on this issue.

Use the OpenWRT wiki for recovery: https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr4300

Serial is listed there under recovery, the serial pinout is much lower on the same page.

Thanks, I did it. Now the router is booting and can be accessible but there is no wireless signal. Can you tell me what has happened to me?

What build are you on? What firmware (factory or dd-wrt)?

I can probably help you but I need more information.
