Hello all, recently I aquired a WRT54GS V2 router. The router has the firmware OpenWrt Barrier Breaker 14.07 / LuCI installed on it, but I thought I would upgrade it to the latest BBHM firmware.  This router has the LUCI interface with the details as follows:

Firmware Version OpenWrt Barrier Breaker 14.07 / LuCI Trunk (0.12+svn-r10530)
Kernel Version    3.10.49

So I tried to upgrade the firmware to BBHN using the web interface:

Flash new firmware image
Upload a sysupgrade-compatible image here to replace the running firmware.
Check "Keep settings" to retain the current configuration (requires an OpenWrt
compatible firmware image).

Using this .bin file  bbhn-3.1.0-wrt54gs-2.4-squashfs.bin

but it was not successful with this message.

The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format.
Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform.

Further reading on  http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt54g

states

Using LuCI

1. Select Administration in the top right corner
2. Choose the System > Flash Firmware tab
3. Click Browse and navigate to the firmware (it must be a .trx file) you wish to flash to
4. Click 'Upload image'

So, am I able to use the trx file listed on the site, it however states that it is for an upgrade to an existing mesh node.

Any thoughts would be appreciated..thanks

If it already has OpenWRT loaded, use the TRX file at the top.

BIN files are for when it is still in stock Linksys firmware.

Hi, I tried the suggestion, It appears that the new firmware is loading, it reboots, but it keeps coming back to the LUci interface, the ip address is still the static 192.168.1.1, the router seems to work though, which in itself is a positive, just not BBHN ... 73

p.s.  I have a serial console installed using putty to monitor
