WG302v2 original firmware restore

Hello!.
After experiments with alternative firmwares, I have decided to return the original. I have downloaded version 5.2.3 from a netgear site, then unpacked, there were two binary files (kernel.bin and rootfs.bin) and some the text files. I tried to flash them with RedBoot console (download via tftp, flash vith "fis create" and then specify the boot script), but during loading, the kernel cannot define jffs2 partition (it wrote something like "can`t find magic block"). So I tried to take advantage of the reset button and plug/unplug the power connector, but the device does not try to undertake anything.

As a result I have access to Redboot console. What can I do to restore my AP?

Forgive me for my poor English.
