I am not sure what putty method you used but Youtube has many videos for TP-Linkrouters and it talks about TFTP method. You run TFTP and then firmware file renamed to a particular name is being uploaded to router.
Is that the method you @nishantt6969 & @Aashish.007 followed or something else? It would be a good confirmation from you & Aashish.007 about the method used and what worked for benefit of others.
Using ddwrt or openwrt is always frustrating. I struggled for 2 days on my D-Link to go back to stock. It was only mozilla browser that worked. All IE & chrome failed to upload!
I did TFTP method only, and it bricked the router. There were only 4 lights on router, not blinking, totally still.
I had somehow managed to get Archer C6 v3.20 latest firmware, so I flashed it directly from the router interface(192.168.0.1) after setting up static IP as 192.168.0.66 and that brought me back to original firmware.
It would be easier to use the TP-Link recovery function instead by intentionally bricking the router and also you can flash stock firmware with stripped bootloader directly from luci.
