Thank you for taking the time to reply kong! If I could I would send you one.
Is it possible to perhaps use a 'bricked' approach and get the .img file over for a full restore? It would appear that the main sticking point in all this is that they are not .bin files.

Hi, I have read that most of you have had flash both firmware but I was worry about moving forward on doing the second one. So I stop there and everything was fine till problems started. Do I still have a way back to stock if so can anyone please guide me back. I have already tried just holding the reset button on the back and that didn't work. Thanks in advance.

Booting back to stock from other patition
When you install DD-WRT over stock, it installs on a different partition. You can use the following command by entering it in DDWRT commands on the administration tab, Telnet or SSH to determine what partition DD-WRT is running on.
Code:
ubootenv get boot_part
The last number it returns is the partition (it will return 1 or 2). In my case, DD-WRT is on partition 1, so to return to Stock, enter (If yours returns 2, put 1):
Code:
ubootenv set boot_part 2
and then reboot. You can use the command
Code:
reboot

Thank you for the info people, luckily I have a usb serial cable I bought 6 months ago to update my telescope controller.
Used Putty and TFTP64 on windows 10
A few headaches I had:
I had to turn off windows firewall and I also had to rename the image to rango.img, I had renamed to stock.img, but when I used that name in uboot, it automatically went to rango.img.
Is interesting that all my original settings are still intact.
Im glad I'm not the only one getting grey hairs over this WRT3200ACM router.
Lucky for me I researched a lot before I flashed my way back to sock.
The only reason I got this router is because I wanted to use expressvpn firmware for routers, but it was not stable. It would lose connection on the 5GHz radio randomly.
Then I found xpressvpn is built on openwrt and apparently its not working on this router. So I thought I would try ddwrt but from what I've been reading it doesn't work either.
I bought two of these routers because it was on sale for $179
I do like the Linksys firmware but I want the other router to work with my VPN.
I hope someone out there can get these open firmwares working some time soon
I've tried 2 different USB to TTL devices and I'm not getting any output to Putty. I'm at a loss, been trying for a couple hours now. I sure hope another way comes out soon to revert back to stock!
