They're under

especially

I usually recommend doing the first install with TFTP,
then subsequent reinstalls with mtd.
The reason for the initial TFTP to be sure you can un-brick it.
(This is mostly for those building custom OpenWRT images.)
I usually do this (from memory, untested):
ip address add 192.168.0.2 peer 192.168.0.1 dev eth0
while ! curl --upload-file foo.img tftp://192.168.0.1/
do sleep 1
done
...and then reboot the router while cabled directly to your laptop,
plus any other steps to put it into TFTP mode.
PS: you can also reflash from LuCI, the web UI.
LuCI is installed by default on stable images.
LuCI can be installed via opkg on other images.
