Tomato to DD-WRT?

Hey guys, Thanks a lot for all the help you've given me the past couple days. You've all been really great... and very kind to the noob.

I have another question.

I'm currently on one of the latest Kong's DD-WRT build, dd-wrt-usb-ftp-samba3-dlna-O2-v24-K26-broadcom.bin. I know eventually when I get some more time, I will get curious about Toastman's Tomato. So...

How do you change from Tomato back to DD-WRT?

I know that to change from DD-WRT to Tomato, I change the Tomato .trx extension to .bin and upgrade. Is it simply the other way around for Tomato to DD-WRT?

I've also read the How-To Switch Firmware which tells; "How To Reflash Factory Firmware on the NETGEAR WRN3500L Without A Serial Cable" using telnet and TFTP through cmd.

None of these tell me how to switch from Tomato back to anything.

I'm even more confused now

I'm even more confused now than before. Are you saying that the way the site says to upgrade from DD-WRT to Tomato causes some issues?

I don't understand what you mean by "Older firmware version needs to specifically have the .bin or .trx but there it is better to go from old tomato to small dd-wrt and then to big dd-wrt and same for reverse, small then to big"

What is small dd-wrt and big dd-wrt?
