In my case, i was switching to the openwrt from dd-wrt.<\/p>\n

I got my netgear WNDR3700 V3 (which is broadcom not atherios) used from ebay, Switching from dd-wrt to openwrt<\/p>\n

First of all, there is a bug in the dd-wrt 21061 that makes it not possible to use SSH, so i logged in with telnet<\/p>\n

Now,<\/p>\n

wget http:\/\/theplacewhereyouputthefile\/filename.bin (the original firmware is .chk not .bin)<\/p>\n

Then<\/p>\n

mtd -e linux -r write \/tmp\/x.bin linux<\/p>\n

And the router showed things like<\/p>\n

Unlocking Linux …<\/p>\n

Erasing Linux<\/p>\n

Writing from x.bin to Linux … [e]
\nWriting from x.bin to Linux … [w]<\/p>\n

Then, connection to the host was lost<\/p>\n

Then the router was bricked<\/p>\n

I did get ping replies from the router, but that did not mean it is working<\/p>\n

So, my next thing to do was this, the router booted itself into recovery mode, so i got the original firmware.<\/p>\n

tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put x.chk<\/p>\n

Transfer successful: 7258170 bytes in 29 second(s), 250281 bytes\/s<\/p>\n

Where X is simply the factory firmware .chk file, now leave the router for more than 5 minutes while it digests the update, then use the web interface to update to the openwrt chk file<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
