then you should be using the "factory" image, not the sysupgrade.

Going back to the Original Post.
I just noticed that the tar you linked to is an upgrade file which is for upgrading from an older version of Gargoyle.
If you are on Stock Netgear firmware then you need to use the 4300 factory .img file to get Gargoyle onto the hardware.

The problem is i can't get the router to flash any firmware. the stock factory firmware upgrade says its not a *.chk file. tftp just times out. i cant get the router into a flash mode or a state where it can be flsahed. i have followed a heap of guides and some information is conflicting.
I have been trying to flash a *.img file from openWRT. i cant get it to tftp to the router could someone please tell me what im missing

Yeah i have been using a factory image file *.img format for a while now. i cant get it to tftp to my router. that's where i have been having trouble and need help getting the firmware to the router. i followed the guide. i have a fixed IP to the router i factory rest it and try to tftp to it while it starts up as the guides say but i can't get it to connect. Tried using tftp2.exe as well.
Is there someway you have to start the router to put it into recovery mode so you can tftp to it.
