Netgear SRS60 install not working

I'm trying to install OpenWRT to a Netgear SRS60 and for the life of me I cannot seem to do it. No matter how I connect to the device nor what I connect to it with no web interface exists from which I can flash the factory image. Trying to use NMRPFlash as described here also results in nothing happening as the utility times out. I've tried every one of the 4 ethernet ports and it does the same thing.

I don't believe the device is broken, despite my destruction of it's shell in opening it, as it powers on normally and even showed a wireless network I could connect to prior to my first reset of the device with the factory reset button. I have no idea what to do from this point and I need some help troubleshooting the problem.

So why are you breaking open the device, etc.?

Did you ever see the OEM web GUI?

(There's "Without NMRPflash" instructions, it's not clear why you didn't try those directions.)

I opened the device thinking it might be broken and hoping to see some extremely obvious sign of damage or somewhere I could hook up a serial connection for literally any information other then the lights on the device. The shell was also very nasty looking from the previous owner so I'm just going to print a new shell for it.

Like I said in the post, no. As far as I can tell it doesn't exist except it must as the instructions for doing this without NMRPflash tell you to use the OEM web interface, the one I said I can't access no matter what I try to do.

Turns out the device is EXTREAMLY fickle with how long to hold down the reset button while turning it on for NMRPFlash to work. Got it to flash FINALLY.
