Did something stupid, chose a newd2 file by mistake and flashed. I have blinking power LED, I cannot get it to respond to a ping, no matter what. I did many resets, still no go. Is there anything I can try, without having to remove the case, as it is under warrenty. Ip was still default 192.168.1.1 before the flash mistake.

Yep...JTAG is the way to go...and BTW...as soon as you put dd-wrt on it...you voided your warantee...sorry to tell you that.

Yeah read all the documentation now that you bricked it. Jtag is not too bad to do. There's tons of info to walk you through it. Jtag cables and headers are available on eBay cheaply. I think many of us started out this way, "OH I've got a brick now what do I do?" You'll get it fixed hang in there. _________________

Had same problem no reset worcked and so the JTAG to by to complicated so i went for the man reset :P
hir it is the picture
sory it is in spain i found it like this
Hope it helps more ppl :)
so the spers to go are :
1 ) trie to ping 192.168.1.1 if you get no resolt ok
2 ) pug all the cable out of the WRT54GL v1.1
3 ) haw a ping open for 192.168.1.1 command "ping 192.168.1.1 -t"
4 ) haw a lik cable from the pc to pne of the LAN output .
5 ) make contact pin 16 wit the MASA ( matal age of the wirles.
6 ) the Plug the power in had it like thet for 2- 5 sec you shud get ping respons in the time .
7 ) take the contects you mad down ( use a nidel and some wire ) DO NOT PLOG THE DEWICE OUT
8 ) now the we got connection to the WRT54GL use TFTP to update the framwerare
9 ) You are done ruter worcking agen :D

I'd still like to know how shorting an address line (pin 16) to ground does anything.
There are also reports of shorting 15 & 16, and 16 & 17..
If this works.. what makes it work?
I'm pretty much of the school of thought that if you pin short, then you had better be prepared to throw your router in the trash first. It's just not a steady, repeatable thing and is know to cause permanent damage. Just my 2 cents. BW I think you probably feel the same IIRC. _________________

I do agree.. I would never pin short. However it has been reported that in some circumstances, it will work and allow the router to accept pings... etc.
I wanna know what makes it work or maybe it is just a fairytale. What is the science behind shorting an address line to ground?
I'm not talking about the pin 9 deal with one model of router that escapes me right now.. Asus maybe. I have not checked the pin out of the flash chip on that device to see what pin 9 is. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
i dont know whay it works is so the first expl. for a Brufone and thot Linksys shoud haw thet to so i went to ggoogle and found it :D
It worcked for my Oldo i agere it is triky and riski. you can tuchi wer eazy somting that you shudant So for more Hardware details i dont know . but hope you finde whay it worcks _________________ I Love Linux !
Well I did some reading on the pin shorting, then got a data sheet for the MX flash, don't see anyway shorting the said pins would do anything, except maybe messing up the flash chip........or the traces..
I played with FTA receivers a bit, and I had a crude JTAG, wires with resistors on the ends. I bent the resistor leads on themselves, (made them fit in the plate through holes better), 4 resistors and 1 ground wire,(also stuck in a plate through hole)
Fired up the TJTAGV2
tjtagv2 -erase:nvram /noreset (would not work without /noreset)
NO PING
tjtagv2 -erase:kernel /noreset
PING PING PING !!!!!!
Used tftp2.exe with Linksys flash
