Topic: [HOWTO] (NOOB) Return WRT54Gv2.2 to Linksys firmware

The content of this topic has been archived on 9 Feb 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I need to return my WRT54G v2.2 to factory firmware.
When I try TFTP I get the error "timeout occured."
When I try tftp2 the error is "unable to get response."

I can access the router using TELNET but don't understand the
commands.

The KAMIKAZI webgui comes up and I can see & change many
things, however, the flash firmware won't load the Linksys
.bin file. It needs an image file.

Help please.

I found a way that worked.
Go to the dd-wrt site
http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/dd-wrt/hardware.html
and download the following file:
dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin

Within the webgui of Kamikazi update the firmware and
select dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin

After it properly updates, (wait the time needed)
select the tab to update firware and select
the Linksys firmware needed.

The discussion might have continued from here.
