And are you pretty sure that TFTP correctly flash fw file ? When modem in in BOOTP Mode the "i" (Info) Led should flash for approx 1 min
with orange light and then modem restarts itself.
If this is the same behaviour you experienced, then your modem could be on bank_2 but don't ask me why, it would be a very strange
thing. 
well...now i'm wondering...
This what i'm doing:
1) i start TFTPD
2) with a paper clip i press the reset button in the back and i hold it down
3) i start the modem and i wait
4) TFTPD open a window saying it started sending the firmware
5) i remove the paperclip
6) the file is sent
4) the modem reboot
i do another try to see about the "i" light...
Edit:
i confirm, it goes to Orange for about 1 minute, here are the logs during the process :
