flashing r7000 from initial tomato to final

I have managed to flash the initial tomato firmware but when i try and upload the final version trx. file it says the file is not found.  I have tried with builds 131, 130 and 129 all the same.

i had the same problem .trx

i had the same problem .trx is a video/movie file extension, try a hard reset 30/30/30 then see if you can install new upgrade.. dont forget after you reset wait for all the lights to come on  5mins or so

Do you mean by hard reset

Do you mean by hard reset using the reset button on the back.   Should I power off then hold it down while powering back on.  Or, should  I just press it while the power is on.

yes hold reset with power on

yes hold reset with power on for 30sec's then while still holding the reset button turn power off for 30 sec's  then turn power on while still holding reset button.

the original netgear firmware was .img  ,now they've changed it to zip.  you might have to look around for a better firmware format to dnload
