TomatoUSB

I'm currently running tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-101-Mega-VPN on my RT-N16. It is stable and works great. The problem comes when I try to flash anything newer to the device. My lastest attempt went like this:

1) Configuration —> Open upgrade page —> flash tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-108-AIO —> router never comes back

2) Recovery mode back to tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-101-Mega-VPN —> Configuration —> Clear NVRAM thorough —> Reboot —> upgrade page —> flash tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-108-AIO —> router never comes back

3) Put N16 into recovery mode —> tftp2.exe —> flash tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-MIPSR2-108-AIO —> router never comes back

I've done these same steps with other shibby firmwares as well including the newer MEGA-VPNs…

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

novice advice: i wonder if it can be the file you downloaded (unless you've redownloaded it since)? i believe shibby gives checksums if you know how to check those. tomato.groov.pl(slash)download(slash)K26(slash)build5x-108-EN MD5SUM

i am currently running mipsr2-108-aio on an rt-n16 so i know it works.

You need to wipe NVRAM BEFORE and AFTER flashing the new build. Do a search and find the instructions on how to do it correctly, then follow those directions to the letter.
