When you flash the system back to the original firmware all changes that you have made to the current running version of the OpenWrt installation will be lost. I would recommend backing up all configuration files.
The method that I use to generate .trx files is to build the source, then all modifications that I do, I make to the source files so when it generates the .trx files it contains the modifications. I still need to install the packages but the packages contain the correct config. hope this helps.
