If you have the proper bsp and you are getting that page, then you are not flashing the correct stock firmware image for your device..

Backup the bsp with jtag. Then compare the backup file with the file you flashed. They must be identicle.
When you flashed the bsp, you used:
tjtag -flash:bsp /noreset. You didn't use -flash:cfe correct?
If your backup & the origional files compare, then the problem is with your rig. AV or firewall software perhaps. Make sure you are plugged into a lan port _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
What about erasing the wholeflash, and then flashing the CFE from the ftp site. I see there are two there for this router? _________________ SIG:

The OP got the BSP from tornado's folder. I know that is a good bsp.
The V7's are a little temperamental sorta like the v8's..
How much solder do you need?
If they are anything like the v8's then you have to hit the enter key as soon as power is applied to the router.
thats what i did to flash the bsp and it worked. i guess im going to try to put the CFE #2 from that ftp the same way
Yes everything I did via JTAG on my v8 had to be done that way, weather it was probeonly or erase wholeflash, it didn't matter. _________________ The New Me

Um somebody correct me if I'm wrong, which is a possibility cause I'm not that good with numbers, but 256 doesn't match 196. Does it? _________________ The New Me

Oops.. I didn't think about that...Indeed that would make a compare difficult. When you tell jtag to backup:cfe, it knows by identifying the flash chip what sectors to back up (something like that). If a CFE was supplied by Tornado, they are usually smaller than a normal cfe. I don't know if T~ compiles his own, trims them, or what but they are typically smaller and they do work. At least every cfe of his that I have used (works). _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
