Help R7000 Upgrade from Tomato to FreshTomato

First timer trying to flash a Netgear R7000.  It currently has Tomato V1.28 on it.  I want to upgrade the firmware to FreshTomato.

 

I have downloaded the current Netgear Firmware and attempted to "Upgrade" from Administration Page to current Netgear Firmware R7000-V1-0.11.128_10.2.112.

 

The "Upgrade" didn't work.  It gave me this error : /tmp/flashsE7OMe: Bad trx header

 

Please help.

If someone stumbles along in

If someone stumbles along in the future - you have to use a "back to factory" flash before you can install stock firmware.  Similiar to how you use an initial flashing prior to flashing the full version of what you're using.
