> [...] Tried TFTP. Nada.
Not a useful description of what you did, or what happened when you
did it.
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. As usual, showing actual
actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED
indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations. Especially when using a command-line program,
copy+paste is your friend.
