How To: Recover from Dead
After messing around with the OpenWrt firmware I had my box in a state that there was no response. I thought I f*cked up big time. Tried recovering from asus and flashing over tftp but there was no response. Going back to store and return it is no option cause I already open the box(500GB HDD installed).
So I start messing around with the little 2 buttons on the backside and found out that ..
- If you push them both the ready the ready light starts blinking (Is there life ?:confused: ?)
- After 20 sec let go of the reset button but keep the ezflash pushed
- wait another 5 sec and let go of it (It looks like its died again)
- tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put WL700gE_1.0.4.2_flash.trx (or OpenWrt***.trx)
Tha DAaa there is life again

now I can mess around with it again :):)

Hi Thanks for this, im very gratefull, i flashed with these instructions, for the sake of other people if you have a NAS file you cannot use tftp to flash it, you can only flash it using tftp using a trx file, you can extract the NAS file by using the asus extract tool which you can find by searching for.

I have a problem where i restored the original asus firmware but now my router will not let me flash with any other firmware, the only firmware it boots from is the asus. I think i have made changes to my HDD that will not let the kam7.09v2.trx firmware image work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
