dd-wr-goo2 killed router

[grubber]

I successfully loaded dd-wrt on my Linksys 54g v8 router. I went to install the goo2 file and the modem started to load the file then a screen came up cannot load file and the modem died. There is now no power and I cannot log into router @ 192.168.x.x. I tried a hard reboot 303030 but no help. Any idea how I am going to get it going again.

Thanks

Have you tried the master reset button in the back,(a little tiny hole) you need to use a paper clip and push it in for 10 to 15 seconds with the power on/attached.

can that version be jtagged?

I have a version 8 and I have done worse things to it than a hiccup in the flashing.

The builtin TFTP server defaults to 192.168.0.1 and can only be available for a few seconds on boot (depending on how bad the flash is).

I change the IP on my computer to 192.168.0.100, open a CMD prompt and issue the command ping -n 10000 192.168.0.1

I get the TFTP2 gui ready with a firmware I know to work (like the factory bin). I then leave the CMD prompt in the background but still visible. Plug in the router and when the pings succeed I hit the Upgrade button in the TFTP2 gui. Sometimes the pings only succeed a few times.

I have never had to jtag and I have done some bad things to my router.

I got the modem unbricked and working with dd-wrt again. I then tried to load the goo2 file again and it worked. Now I just need to figure out how to do a start up script

Thanks for the help.

What did you do to unbrick it?? Other may need to know.

probably what goo said to do
did the same a few years ago when I bricked a version 6 loading ddwrt

[grubber]

I reinstalled the original script from Linksys, then I used tftp2 and ran vxworkskillerGv8-v3 bin, and after a hard reboot 303030 I installed the dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic bin and again a hard reboot and the modem came back to life.

Why goo2 and not the later version goo3 ?

[grubber]

It seemed to me that goo2 was more designed for my 54g v8 modem. I just checked out goo3 and you were right I will update my router to it.

Thanks,

[shadalert]

goo3 works much better than goo2. Better stability, faster channel change, and quicker P$er change with multi-servers just to mention a few.

The title of this thread should be changed to "I bricked my router because I don't know what I'm doing"

Because right now it suggests that the GOO bin bricked his router.

[grubber]

Go ahead and change it.
