Rosewill RNX-GX4 hard reset issue

Hi, I just recently purchased a rosewill rnx-gx4 wireless router. The rosewill website states that it supports open source firmware, and after reading some forums I decided to give it a shot. I downloaded the newest version of tomato and uploaded. The upload went flawlessly and the router restarted, but there was no network. So I tried to do a hard reset but nothing happened. I held in the reset for 10 seconds as the manual states but still nothing. So I tried 30 seconds. Nothing. The power led stays lit with no indications of it reseting. So I tried a 30-30-30. This time when I plugged the power back in on the last 30 seconds the light starts to blink for about 20 seconds. Still no network. I figured I bricked it and gave up on it. I ordered another one and this time kept the stock firmware on it. I tried to do a hard reset just to see if it would work but the same thing happens. Not sure what to do.
