Initial firmware for tomato problem

I'm trying to install advanced tomato from here https://advancedtomato.com/downloads/router/r7000 onto my brand new r7000(ac-1900). I had to go through some minor initial setup with genie to allow me to get to the router update page. The genie version is V1.0.9.64_10.2.64 I tried to install the initial firmware

 

tomato-R7000-1.28.AT-ARM-3.5-140-initial-64K.chk

 

but I get an error saying the firmware is not compatible with the router (error -2).

 

Is there a tomato install that's compatible with this genie?

I find that changing the wlan country doesn't seem to modify the channels. I normally use channel 13 in United Kingdom.

I needed to change the wireless channel width to 20Mhz in the basic settings before I could see channel 13. And it seems that th default region #a allows all channels anyway.
