EW1200 kernel doesn't uncompress

I'm following a guide on updating the openwrt software for this router link

It requires to load new kernel 2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP.

When it loads it passes checksum but get stuck on uncompressing with lzma error 1. From what I understand the old kernel took only 1.5MB new one is 5.1MB. Mem size is 128MB , it shouldn't have any problem loading it and yet every time I try I get an error...

If I load it to sdram it works fine, but only until restart...

Need help on how to proceed

Solution

Don't start with the latest kernel, If you go from 18.06 it installs fine
