The only way to flash the image in TL-WR802N v4 is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot:

Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.225/24 and tftp server.
Rename openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-tplink_tl-wr802n-v4-squashfs-tftp-recovery.bin to tp_recovery.bin and place it in tftp server directory.
Connect PC with the LAN port, press the reset button, power up the router and keep button pressed for around 10 seconds, until device starts downloading the file.
Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot.
