Hi all,
i've a Netgear DG834GT with openwrt firmware, (openwrt-DG834GT_DG834PN-squashfs-cfe_Backfire_10_03_svn25563) and i need to re-flash to the original Netgear firmware.

I've tryed with web gui flashing without results, tryed recovery tool but the device is not listed and now i don't know how to do sad

Can anyone help me please?

I'm not really an expert so be patient smile

Thank in advance!

Solved flashing in Linux with NFTP Command Line Utility (Unix systems).

Here the nftp.c file for download: http://wilmer.gaa.st/834root/

edit the file where is the check of the router model and comment there.

compile in linux with these commands: gcc -o nftp nftp.c

put all files including the original firmware you want to flash in the same folder and send the router in recovery mode by pressing and hold the reset button and powering up the device, until front leds flashing green and orange

then prompt in that directory: sudo ./nftp -u eth0 <nameofyourfirmware.img>

wait until flash is complete and reboot.
