If you're flashing from stock firmware, initial flash file would be last of 2017:

https://ftp.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2017/12-29-2017-r34311/linksys-wrt1900acv2/factory-to-ddwrt.bin

Then upgrade to current release:

https://ftp.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2022/11-09-2022-r50841/linksys-wrt1900acv2/ddwrt-linksys-wrt1900acv2-webflash.bin

Otherwise, please explain to us all of the applicable information like which firmwares are involved.

Both partitions may also not be of the same size.

The first partition is slightly larger.

There was a range of builds a few years back that were too large for the second partition. (I don't have my notes on this computer to check the exact range of builds.)

You don't need to go back to 2017. Most of my similar routers began life on 38159, flashed from the factory build. Try that and then use the webflash.bin file to leap to the current build.

The range of larger builds were from 2019 and these progressively became larger the first eight months.
This has not been an issue since, as build sizes are now far below DD-WRT's upper limit for any partition.

However, 1200/1900 series have a known stock firmware issue requiring a smaller or older installer build.

Upgrade current build, verify, then reset (10 seconds), webUI factory defaults or nvram erase && reboot.

New Build - 01/03/2023 - r51154 Always flash over LAN Ethernet cable, exception is command-line flash.
