All command not work (ssh, telnet).
Thats commonly regarded as brick (imho). You better provide more usable information so people understand your problem.
According to http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/asmax/ar_1004g .
Description upload firmware:
Press and hold RESET button
Turn on router, after 10-15 sec release RESET
Web browser ? 192.168.1.1 and upload firmware
I behave according to description. After instaling Open WRT, router bricks. After second reset and orginal firmware upload everything works. Do i have to use Serial Port and flash it by TFTP?

Please provide the url of the openwrt-image you flashed. Besides that, ping the router (also using different ethernet ports) to see if low level network is working. If that doesn't help, getting serial console up and running will help to find out what's going wrong. Make sure you read the wiki first.

Seems like you need to try another image. Please post the url of the image you used so far.
http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/1 … fs-cfe.bin
twin model ASMAX AR1004g
That image should work. I saw there is a wiki entry for a v2 of that device (not yet containing valid information), so checking which version you've got might get into the right direction.
Besides,
board_bcm963xx: CFE version: 1.0.37-10.3
board_bcm963xx: invalid nvram checksum
is something that now caught my attention. So either your nvram got corrupted, or it is newer than the board specific module. In that case it would be a good idea to dump it and check with the used algorithm. Or maybe there is a way to restore default values of nvram.
One other thing to test would be a trunk image, which is more up to date. This is the url: http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … fs-cfe.bin
