Shibby Tomato R7000 flash issue

Hi all

I followed the instructions to flash my Netgear R7000 stock (genie firmware) to Tomato Shibby.

The first thing I did was reset my router to factory default. After the reset, the router did not respond to 192.168.1.1, but it did respond to routerlogin.net.

So I then flashed the initial .chk file.

Now I cannot access the router's login page (192.168.1.1 does not work). The router does not seem to assign any IP addresses for any of the devices I attach to the router. It appears the DHCP server does not work. It has a self-assigned IP address 169.254.X.X.

Please help. How can I log in to the router so I can then upload the AIO file?
