Not really. I wrote detailed instructions, but they are meant for someone with a basic knowledge of Linux, not total noobs. You can take a look at these 2 posts:

Stock U-boot could run the rootfs Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2. However, the setup is as risky as installing new u-boot image anyway. So you might as well install both u-boot and rootfs.
So look at the 2 linked posts and see if you are comfortable. Ask questions if you are unclear about something.
