File is too big to fit in MTD on Tomato by Shibby for WNR3500Lv2 090-AIO (All In One)

I'm getting the error that say File is too big to fit in MTD. Can someone tell me the work around?

 

Thanks,

I have the 3500LV2 and its

I have the 3500LV2 and its running Tomato 1.28. I try to upgrade using tomato, but when I did, the upgrade appears to stop then the message "File is too bit to fit in MTD" appears.

 

Flash RAM is 8MB in Size...the downloaded file is 8.5MB. What's the work around.

Netgear WNR3500Lv2 has 128MB

Netgear WNR3500Lv2 has 128MB NAND flash!!

If you have 8MB well you have 3500Lv1!!

look here: http://openlinksys.info/images/3500lv2/IMAG0363.jpg

v2 on top, v1 on bottom.

another question: has your router USB port? Maybe you have WNR3500v2 (without L)

Shibby,

Shibby,

I understand what you are saying but this is straight from the Router:

Model Netgear WNR3500L/U/v2

Tomato
Version 1.28

Chipset Broadcom BCM4716 chip rev 1 pkg 10
CPU Freq 133MHz
Flash RAM Size 8MB

Erm, yea thats a WNR3500L v1.

Erm, yea thats a WNR3500L v1. The reporting is the way it is because the WNR3500L has a lil brother which is the WNR3500 v2 no L, it doesn't have a USB port and has smaller flash and board ram (4/32MB), but both based on the BCM4716 chip so they report the same. The newer WNR3500L v2 is totally different and as shibby said, has 128MB NAND flash.

Also as a side note, because of the way Netgear programs their units, using an MTD in flash ram to store its router's info, you won't get a full 8MB of flash, it'll be limited to 7.5MB pretty much, and as of recent builds atleast with dd-wrt - you'll have to use a std-usb-nas k2.6 build with it. Not sure how it works with tomato..
