WRT3200ACM - back to stock

Hey Everyone,

I am new to this whole custom firmware thing (haven't messed with anything since a WRT54G years ago), but wanted to give something a try on my WRT3200ACM.

Anyway I flashed from the Linksys firmware to gargoyle_1.11.0-mvebu-cortexa9-linksys-wrt3200acm-squashfs-factory.img

Then flashed from the Gargoyle firmware to gargoyle_1.11.0-mvebu-cortexa9-linksys-wrt3200acm-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

I think I could have skipped the 2nd step.

Anyway everything has been working fine so far for the last week and a half.

Just wondering how to/if it is possible to flash back to stock firmware. I tried uploading the stock firmware from the Gargoyle UI and that did't work.

I also tried powering the WRT3200ACM on and off 3 times to get the 2nd partition to boot and I get Gargoyle firmware there as well, assuming because I flashed it twice initially.

Any help is appreciated.

It just needs to be forced from the command line.

Anyone care to explain how to fit it in layman's terms or have a step by step guide anywhere?

Thanks

Follow the instructions in this thread (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8505) to establish both an SCP and an SSH connection to the router.
Copy the OEM firmware to the /tmp directory using WinSCP.
Execute “sysupgrade -n -F /tmp/name_of_file.img” from SSH.
