I'm trying to upload the custom firmware but it fails whatever I do. A firmware reset does not work. For the result from then firmware restoration tool see below. Seems the tool tries to loads it to a strange location (My local home temp map)

A little more research shows it has to do with my $TEMP (or in windows terms %TEMP%) environment setting. Unsetting it had the result of defaulting to C:\Windows\Temp which still results in a upload error. More research tomorrow.

Good luck! :-)
I had to try three PCs before I found one where firmware restoration wouldn't crash on me...
Hacksaw.

More research
Firmware Restoration tool calls nasload.exe which calls nasunpack.exe to unpack he image to TRX format. The nasunpack.exe fails on WL700gE_1.0.4.6_kc_02a.nas (Try nasunpack -d <tempname> <image> from cmd.exe). It does not fail on the original image WL700gE_1.0.4.6.nas
Also I found another free tool which does the same AsusTrxExtract in this (http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=6266) thread.(actual message (http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=36445&postcount=11)) This one also fails on WL700gE_1.0.4.6_kc_02a.nas but succeeds on WL700gE_1.0.4.6.nas
Anybody any ideas ?
My guess is that your file is corrupt. Here's the md5 sum of my copy of WL700gE_1.0.4.6_kc_02a.nas:

Use this to confirm yours.

A logical deduction. I should have checked earlier. My file was missing about 2K. Downloaded the file again. It now has the correct checksum and uploads fine to my router. Thanks.
