usually tftp works..you can see what file is asking for in the tftp console..
sometimes you need to set anticipation window to 1024 or use a switch between the PC and the router

also disconnect from internet and turn off any antivirus and firewall as those may interfere
or just add the tftp program in your firewall permitted programs..WIN 10 and W11 may not be very
supportive with TFTP...i always use win 7 ... or linux

to be honest, you have to find your own way how to do it, lots of info around, check in google or youtube...

Be sure to set "Server interfaces" in TFTPD to your Ethernet adapter especially if reset to 127.0.0.1 change again.

Which hardware region is your router? EU? Links are http. https copy and paste address bar.
Below all have boot (loader) in the file name. The US file in OP does not have a boot loader.

How exactly was this device "bricked". Long story short, there was a glitch in many builds (for the V2), and there was a method to flash from stock to DD-WRT and downgrade for it to work properly. But as of 47033, flashing factory-to-ddwrt file from stock is good to go with proper configuration and you should be able to flash to 52330 from there as I have a V2 sitting within 5 feet of me running that build Wink

More forum fodder related to the V4 (usual suspects alert):

TP-Link TL-WA901ND v4 DD-WRT support

TL-WA901ND v4

tl-wr941ndv6-webflash.bin r40863 on a TA-WL901NDv4

New Build - 09/24/2020 - r44467 (promising that an actual build before 47033 works, but)

Another scenario where I am hesitant to trust certain forum members WinkTwisted Evil

as you know how to unbrick Razz via TFTP (this is the first step everyone, should know when installing any non stock or even stock firmware) now you can try 52549 as its stable ...so far..

for your samba usb issues...as DDWRT is linux based, try using linux format like ext2 or 3 or 4
the problem is your 1043v1 has very slow CPU and there it gets very slow and buggy with other performance especially when using NAS..
the stock firmware is using hardware offloading chip (im not sure about your v1 but v2 has it) and its performance with stock firmware is way better...so stick with stock firmware and miss lots of security updates and ect....this is the reason i use DDWRT firmware as its very quick updated when is about security and has lots of other useful stuff..

p.s. i told you that for tftf flash, you must find the correct name required, and you can see it in the tftp console...so now you know tftp procedure...you have all the freedom Cool Cool

to fix LAN ports not working try to add this script in administration >commands>save start up script

sleep 10
swconfig dev switch0 set reset 1
swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev eth0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev switch0 set apply
swconfig dev eth0 set apply
