Reverting TP-Link WDR4300 from OpenWRT to stock firmware

Download the already cut file for reverting to stock TP-Link WD4300 firmware.
Reverting TP-Link WDR4300 from OpenWRT to stock is easy:

upload the tplink-wdr4300.bin via scp into the /tmp folder
connect via ssh (or telnet) and execute:

# cat /proc/mtd

you should see:

dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00020000 00010000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 001676e0 00010000 "kernel"
mtd2: 00668920 00010000 "rootfs"
mtd3: 00370000 00010000 "rootfs_data"
mtd4: 00010000 00010000 "art"
mtd5: 007d0000 00010000 "firmware"

Now cd into /tmp and flash the original firmware with

mtd -r write tplink-wdr4300.bin firmware

Let the flash happen and on reboot you'll find the original firmware is restored, the router panel will be available as stock
