Unfortunately, your best bet is to treat it as a bricked unit and go after it with the tiny little serial pads inside.

I made a little pogo-pin fitting for mine so I can just pop the covers off and stick the rig down into it and send new firmware over serial.

The checksum happens when you upload the firmware to flash. OP did not brick router.
