1. Download and unzip the file from here.
2. Download the latest firmware from the official website and rename it to 'recovery.bin'. Note: You must put it in the same file of Tftpd tools.
3. Power off your Router. Unplug the power adapter or press the POWER button.
4. Connect your computer the Router's LAN port with an Ethernet cable.
Note: Only one model is an exception: the TR1200. The WAN port must be connected during firmware recovery. All other models use the LAN port.
5. Configure your computer's IP address to be '192.168.1.88' manually.
6. Run 'tftp32.exe'.
7. Run 'netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off' in the command line to disable Windows firewall, otherwise tftp will be blocked. Or you can disable the firewall on the Control Panel of your computer. As shown below.
8. Press the 'Reset' button/hole and hold it. Before the Router is powered on and before tftp start to download the firmware, don't release the 'Reset' button/hole.
9. Power on the Router.
10. When the Lights are all flashing fast, or when tftp start to download the firmware, you can release the 'Reset' button/hole.
11. When the light flashes slowly, the upgrade is complete.
12. Please recover your computer's IP address to be dynamic IP.
13. Done.

That worked! Thank you for your help. It would be great if you could mention this in the steps or add a search option to the support section. I really appreciate your help and your prompt response.
@Dear Will,
TR1200 is different with other models. You must connect your computer to the WAN port of TR1200 when recovering. Please have a try.
“Hi, I tried all the steps above, but my TR1200 still isn’t being detected by TFTP. I tested on both Windows and Mac (using native TFTP), and also tried PuTTY to check for any serial logs, but didn’t see anything. Can you help please?”
