How do I solder a JTAG connector to Asus WL-500

[suckmypin9]

have you thought about using the jtag to see what's going on?

Hi, I have understood that there's no JTAG option with wl-500gP V1.

Hi,
I have a wl-500gp v1 and i had a special dd-wrt_mini-usb with some 3G modem support.
I tried to put back oleg's d-1222.trx version for gpv1 through restoration mode (power led blinking)
But after the d-1222 version flashed i waited about 2-3 minutes and it was no reset - just power blinking.
I've power cycled the router - but the power keeps blinking.
i still have ping and tftp access to .1.1 but no web - just power blinking and lan.
I've tried uploading the recover-trx and clear-nvram-trx but no result.
I've also read about the pin 9 trick but I don't have a screwdriver here - I have to wait till the evening to reach home and get one.
Do any of you have an idea how to unbrick ?

pin 9 trick put router to the restoration mode (power led blinking) nothing more. It can be used if clasic restore button (during power on) not working.

Hi All,
I have a question to Hggomes: You have JTAG on Asus WL-500GP(WL-500g Premium)??
Pls post some foto or description about it.I am looking for it on many forums,but without result.(Generally WL-500GP have no JTAG routed on board ... by Ily on http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=21021).

In that case, good holes But it was not a critic, my WL500GP was worst than yours (wires,memory mod,jtag,serial,4xusb mod) ...

Thank You very much and sorry for my English.

Hi, sorry my mistake. My old WL-500GP v2 had a JTAG not V1, it had a serial port.

Dear friends,
This post concerns a practical and step by step tutorial to either flash the hardware by programming the chipset externally or through JTAG like interfaces. Please do not deviate from subject and comment if you only know how to do so. Thank you for your understanding.
