It's unclear to me where exactly your configuration really stands. I recommend reseting to defaults using failsafe. To do so try the following commands in failsafe mode via telnet:
firstboot
If that doesn't work, then try:
mtd -r erase rootfs_data
Once you've reset OpenWrt to defaults, then any of the guides linked to above should get you going.
Hi drawz,
Thanks to the commands you gave I was able to reset the router and now I can telnet and ssh to my router!
However, while trying to install luci I am receiving the following error:

Please let me know if you have any solution for the above I am so close to installing luci and finally getting the router working all thanks to you!
Please note - I am connecting to the internet using my phone's 3g internet. I connecting my phone as a wireless hotspot, also shared my internet through bluetooth and usb wire as well. All 3 of them didn't work and I received the same error. Please let me know if you have any questions which will help you gain any insight into this.
Thank you so much for your help, Brother! I owe you one!
