Hi Guys,
I flashed WRT54GL 1.1 with Gargoyle 1.6.2 and wanted to get back to Tomato for some tests (WRT54GL a very slow box, and Gargoyle is struggling with it). But... I cannot. Tried to flash Tomato 1.28 through GUI, it uploads, power LED flashes, then I go back to the factory defaults, restart it and... Gargoyle. Ok, I took Linksys firmware, flashed it through GUI, restored factory settings and after a reboot... Gargoyle again!
Am I doing something wrong or there is a special process for flashing when on G1.6.2? Never really wanted to go back from Gargoyle, so that's something new for me. Telnet port is closed.
Thanks in advance!

Read the instructions down here: https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt54g# ... ftp_method
First I would try the procedure through "Failsafe Mode" and if it doesn't help you will have to via serial link and tftp.

I do have full access to this machine so I had set below:
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set boot_time=10
nvram set wait_time=10
nvram commit && reboot
Downloaded linksys firmware upgrade tool [it that tries to send *.bin file (Tomato in my case) via TFTP during device boot]. I boot the device, power LED is blinking, I start to send it multiple times during boot but absolutely no joy. I understand that TFTP server is already embedded in G1.6.2 bootloader, what am I missing?

Ha!
Thanks so much RomanHK, YT link was invaluable as it stated that tftpd32 works so much better than Linksys tftp tool. And indeed, first try was already a succesful one
