Revert To Factory Firmware The method that worked for me:
Credits to Brainslayer and Lexridge for making this possible.
enable telnet in the webif
*** Note: The wget method below requires you to setup or to have access to website. Unfortunately I could not get the wget to work using the direct linksys.com link.
When it reboots if the light on top of the router is flashing red, be sure to hold the reset button on the bottom until the light turns off.
hello sir is it possible you can do a HOW-TO video on how to revert to the stock linksys firmware? i was able to flash dd-wrt but i am too stupid to revert back to stock firmware as i don't know how to SSH or telnet. please thank you.

From your question I can assume you have only used Windows at this point.
In which case I kinda feel sorry for your situation. Start/Run and type cmd in the run box. You should get a console at this point. type "telnet IPADDRESS-of-Router"
Login with username root and your password.
Run the commands you quoted in your first post.

NOTE: To use the wget method example provided below to revert to stock, you must have a host with one of the following packages installed to serve the file connected to either LAN or WAN of the MX4300.
