Hi, im stuck with following problem:

I restored the original 4.30.7 on my WRT54GL v1.1 running WhiteRussian RC6 and unfortunately didnt check "erase JFFS2 Partititon", now i cant  upload any other firmware, not with WebInterface nor with TFTP.
Restoring Config fails too. -> Browser timeout, Router hangs.
when i try to upload any firmware i get these errors:

WebInterface -> "Firmware Upload failed"

TFTP2 after it hits TFTP Window: -> "Error in SendPacket() call."

any suggestions how to fix this?

Hi, I made the same mistake flashed the original linksys firmware with the webinterface an didnt check "erase JFFS2 Partition".
Now I cant access the router via SSH, Telnet or webinterface. I can only ping via default address at 192.168.1.1 and my notebook finds the default linksys wlan. So it seems that on the router run two half firmwares the old openwrt and the linksys firmware.

Are there any tips and ideas how to restore a new image, openwrt or original linksys firmware?

The discussion might have continued from here.
