I flashed one of the partitions to DD-WRT, and then I wanted to restore the original system, so I uploaded the original firmware in "Settings" to upgrade, and then it disappeared, leaving only the original firmware of the other partition , how should I restore another partition? Many THX! ! !

Code:
ubootenv get boot_part
then
Code:
ubootenv set boot_part 1
or
Code:
ubootenv set boot_part 2
reboot

Linksys WebUI: See Troubleshooting, Diagnostics then Restore Previous Firmware. Use Factory Defaults (reset).

Firmware upgrades automatically write to an opposite or alternate inactive boot partition so just upgrade again.

you can do that in the GUI like so:

much easier/faster using terminal on a Linux OS Twisted Evil
or puTTy in a windowsy OS

Thanks for your guidance. My router has only one original system, I don't know how to run the code, I dare not flash it as dd-wrt too

Commands are to simply assign boot partition 1 or 2. Linksys WebUI method boots to the alternate partition as well.
Try it, you will see what is currently installed on each partition after a reboot. Very simple process, no flash involved.

There is no problem with flashing both partitions to DD-WRT it also supports WRT3200ACM stock Linksys firmwares.
Also, there is very little reason to go back to factory stock Linksys firmware. Option is always available, don't worry.

However, after reboot into a new firmware environment reset factory defaults to clear shared settings nvram space.
