TM-AC1900 CFE blacklisted non-TMO FW after merlin 380.61 updt after 2 yrs of regular merlin updates

I could not update my TM-AC1900 (TMO's version of the Asus RT-AC68U) from asuswrt-merlin FW version 380.61 to 380.62 or 380.63. I have been installing periodic merlin FW updates for 2 years! Somehow the CFE blacklisted non-TMO FW!

Here are the details of how I fixed the issue. Thought I would put it in my blog so everyone can benefit from it there too.

Thanks.

I recently picked up two TM-AC190 s and they are now on latest merlin 380.63_2 with CFE 1.0.2.0.

Still need to find time to install them.
