Thanks for your helpful feedback.

Here is a detailed (for people who might not be used to *nix) instructions to flash both partitions.

To flash both partitions (once you are in openwrt), all you have to do is

  • Download Full Build version (even for Non-US router) from first post above.
  • Copy openwrt-yyyymmdd.trx onto a flash drive and plug it into the router
  • ssh into your router. I use Putty to ssh into the router @ 192.168.1.1
  • Mount the usb drive using
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
  • Locate the file name using
ls /mnt/
  • Assuming openwrt-20200102.trx is the file name, flash using below commands.
mtd write /mnt/openwrt-20200102.trx firmware
mtd write /mnt/openwrt-20200102.trx failsafe
nvram set bootpartition=0 && nvram set partialboots=0 && nvram commit

Reboot to make sure you have openwrt.
