Can't go back from Tomato to Buffalo firmware on router

[lazygarfield]

Hi!

First of all, thanks so much for the help. I went to that link and tried to follow the steps in it as closely as I could.

1. Set your computers ethernet cable interface to static IP address: 192.168.11.2, Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 and Gateway IP: 192.168.11.1

2. Connect the network cable to the bricked routers LAN port 4

3. In Windows cmd interface start a “ping -t -w 10 192.168.11.1”, continuous ping every 10 milliseconds

4. Push the reset button (located in the buttom of the router), and keep it activated

5. Unplug the routers 5v power cable, count slowly to 5 and reconnect the power cable.

6. Count once again slowly to 5 and release the reset button.

If you are lucky you will see 3-5 ping answers from your router on IP: 192.168.11.1 before the ping command again start responding with the timeout message.

I got this far perfectly. It’s the part after that’s giving me a problem. I don’t know which TFTP script is being referred to or even what it is. The tutorial has this section -

“Another way is to use a (script) cmd file under Windows” from this page:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation#TFTP_Flashing_Buffalo_Routers_under_Windows

But there is no such section on the provided link (even a Ctrl + F search yielded nothing).

I went on my own way and tried to use the TFTP feature (after enabling it, of course) in Windows 7 by going to Command Prompt and entering what this tutorial told me to (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Recover_from_a_Bad_Flash#Recovering_with_TFTP)

I got an “Access is Denied” message. I tried the DrayTek Router Tools but couldn’t understand how to use it. I found other simple GUI TFTP clients but even they couldn’t do anything.

Please, please help!
