Reverting back to Tomato

Hello,
Recently i was trying different firmware's on my Linksys wrt54gl.
I had DD-WRT/Tomato/Gargoyle on it (in that order).
Gargoyle doesn't work for me as i would like (very slow on this router) so i want to revert back to Tomato.
The problem is - that i cannot flash back - i use the Web interface to upgrade firmware, pick Tomato.trx and ... after router restarts im still back with Gargoyle.
Is there a way to Flash it more "manualy" like using ssh?

Rename the file to .bin

I tried *.bin and *.trx files, both dont work.
I found this solution :
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=646
But when i try to upload the file by SCP router hangs and i loose connection near the finish of uploading file.
Edit:
Maybe its end of space on device?
I can upload small files without problem
But then again it says if there is not enought space..

So, is there anything i can remove to make space?
All i need is to preserve SSH connections, and tools to flash,
/rom/ is 8mb...
Which folder contains all the files for "backup", the thing that restores all the orginal files when we hold Reset button?

Shut down processes to free memory.
Default everything is stored in /rom

I thought so that this might be the one
I see its SquashFS, after quick research i cant find a way to get rid of it...
How to remove it?
Or is there anything else i can remove?
I already removed whole /www folder, but still.
EDIT:
after shutting down processes i managed to copy the image file to /tmp
But
doesn't do anything (like wrong usage of command)
What should i put as the <device> parameter?
I see i have :
Code: Select all
cat /proc/mtd
"cfe"
"linux"
"rootfs"
"rootfs_data"
"nvram"
Last Edit :
Found the answer to my last question (about device) here :

Got Tomato working.
Thanks for helping (im linux newbie, didnt know processes take "normal" memory)
