"unable" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.
The TFTP recovery scheme is a multi-step procedure which offers
multiple opportunities for user input, hence user error. By itself,
saying that you "tried" it doesn't say much. See "As usual, [...]",
above. Especially when using a command-line program, copy+paste is your
friend.
Otherwise, exploit the warranty?
