BS factory-to-ddwrt.img is not accepted by stock firmware, voodoo, but was recommending TFTP anyway.

Once again, because Windows TFTP command is blah. Tftpd32 portables -> tftpd32.464.zip, tftpd32.452.zip

For Tftpd32 see anticipation window, a checkbox and value in Tftpd32 settings under advanced tftp options.
This is a way to speed up the transfer if the router for some reason times out, try setting value 1024 bytes.

In the case of this particular router, using TFTP to load any of the BS factory-to-ddwrt.img files does not work. I even went back and tried a few other builds just to see if they would work after 46069 didn't (r41517 r42287 r45632).

After those failed attempts which all put the router into boot loop. Used TFTP to load 40270 back onto the router, which worked.

My experience thus far has been that whatever firmware worked or didn't work in the WebGUI gave the same results with TFTP.

I'm not making any claims to what would work on a router that is functioning properly.
