Mind uploading it to dropbox or something for a few minutes so I can grab a copy? It does not work for me, though I can download the one from the 2nd post WNDR4300SW-V1.0.0.2SW.img -- is this the stock firmware, is it modified in any way?

What is the proper procedure to go to plain stock Netgear firmware once DD-WRT is installed? Just flashing via the DDWRT web interface doesn't work, I'm guessing that DDWRT checks and wants only a DDWRT firmware update. TFTP?
What about going to OpenWRT from DD-WRT? It seems this router is fully supported by OpenWRT BB 14.07 but can't flash directly from SW to OpenWRT, we'd have to go to the modified DDWRT first and then to OpenWRT, I just don't know how. I tried using mtd and in the process I bricked my router, it's done, it doesn't even get into recovery mode anymore, the power light is solid amber and the switch lights flash amber every couple seconds, not responding to pings, etc. I guess I have to ask SW to replace it.
Is anyone able to flash a firmware other than DDWRT on these routers? It seems that once you are on DDWRT you cannot even flash to stock via TFTP. I can get in recovery mode, the tftp command is successful but then the router does not reboot on its own, if I reboot it by hand I'm back on DDWRT. Same if trying to flash from the web GUI.
There seems to be some protection that only allows flashing "SW" firmware, but where is it? Can it be removed?
Does anyone know if there's a way to change the identity of the router? It seems that we can only flash images that have WNDR4300SW in the header, I think we need to modify something on a mtd partition, I just don't know if it's possible
Hey Dracula, did you ever fix the ssh issue? I'm getting the exact same problem you are... I may try updating to a newer ddwrt, but will have to wait until I'm home next week...

I haven't tried newer DDWRT builds, I have since moved to OpenWRT and I'm happy with it.
I decided to take your advice and try Open WRT, but have not been able to flash it. I downloaded the dropbox file you linked to, and tried flashing it via the update page on the web gui, and it just stayed at my current version of dd-wrt. I also tried updating to that file via tftp and updating to a newer dd-wrt via the web gui, and neither had any success. And yes I have reset many ways and many times at various points in update attempts. Can you either suggest something else I might try or link me to some helpful advice? Thanks...

I flashed mine via tftp I think. Or maybe I went back to the stock SW firmware first and then flashed via the stock firmware GUI to OpenWRT - try that.
I encountered this problem after I got a WNDR4300SW version and now I know how to deal with it. If you are still suffering from this problem, I'm willing to help. PM me, anytime.
