Hi
EA9200 succesfull flashed to DDWRT using ASUS RT-AC3200 DDWRT firmware.

flashed procedure (Use ASUS RT-AC3200 DDWRT firmware)

https://serialize.wordpress.com/2017/02/01/linksys-ea9500-stuff/#flashing

Command :
From CFE prompt execute following. Where 192.168.1.10 is where your tftp server is running.

flash -noheader 192.168.1.10:/asus_rt-ac3200-firmware.trx nflash0.trx

Also you may want to update odmid, model, partial boots and boot partition using


nvram set odmpid=ASUS
nvram set model=RT-AC3200
nvram set bootpartition=0
nvram set partialboots=0
nvram commit


is this really working? what about future updates?

I would think that once you've converted it, flashing upgrades would be done the normal way, but it sure would be nice to have it detected as an EA9200, as I am sure that it's being detected as the ASUS RT-AC3200....

I cannot get this to work on my EA9200. Any update on this model. I tried to modify firmware but it is a bit of a learning curve. Any help would be much appreciated.

Still "TBD": https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Linksys

Not sure if one has been donated to BrainSlayer to port firmware to or not.

I tried all firmware but nothing worked. The closest I got was with ea6900 firmware which show the ddwrt ui but did not show wireless options. I guess it did not recognize the wireless hardware. Summary:
Ea6900 firmware: be able to access ui but no wireless
Asus rt3200: keep rebooting.
Netgear R8000: keep rebooting.

Now Im running stock firmware linksys 1.1.5 which allow me to flash 3rd party firmware from web ui.
Anyone have any idea I can try?

Finally get the asus_rt3200 firmware to work on EA9200.
However, for some reason, 2.4Ghz won't show up. It was there after I flash the firmware the first time. But after I config the router as repeater, now 2.4ghz is gone.
nvram erase&&reboot or reflashing couldn't bring it back.

Hi, I’m new at this, in simple way, how can I flash my Ea9200 to rt3200 step by step in very easy language? I just want to use the LAN, I don’t need the WiFi, actually I will disconnect it. I just want it for VPN.
That can be done using my pc and Ethernet wire? With a software.. Or I have to open the router and connect it to a special cable?
Please can you help me?
Any useful link?
I appreciate it!

I was able to install firmware 1.1.5 through the serial port. Which version of Asus rt-3200 were people successful in installing? I tried the latest, did not work.
Thanks

I was able to install OpenWRT on it after downgrading from the Linksys UI. Go to the troubleshooting tab in Linksys and choose restore previous firmware. I was on 1.1.7 and got lucky and it downgraded to 1.1.5 and I can flash anything on it. The issue that I am having is with the partialboots variable in NVRAM which always increases after each boot for some reason.

What I also did to boot from partition=0 is when it booted to Linksys 1.1.5 after numerous reboots I flashed Linksys 1.1.5 on it and forced it to boot from partition=1 and then flashed OpenWRT and it finally booted from partition=0 with OpenWRT on it.

My thought was that it will stop increasing the partialboots value in NVRAM but it still goes up for some strange reason. To overcome that I did "nvram set partialboots=0 && nvram commit" in /etc/rc.local.

Please understand that these instructions are for OpenWRT and NOT for DD-WRT. I am still waiting for a working version of DD-WRT while trying to figure out why the partialboots increases regardless of which partition is currently running. In my small mind I was thinking partition=0 is the current one and partition=1 would be a safe one where original firmware is kept and if I change the OS to boot from partition=0 it will stop increasing the failed boot count.

It's fascinating because I don't know how the original Linksys firmware works, if you reboot four times in a row which partition is it going to boot? Anyways I think I have it fixed with my hack of the /etc/rc.local but if I reset from the button and I erase the entire NVRAM what's going to happen then?

Weird.......

Linksys announced, that they are going to lock down all routers in the US except their WRT line. Thus it is not sure if it is possible to flash dd-wrt to it even it we would add support for it.

Going to reiterate that the only way official support will happen is by hardware donation of any of these newer EA Series Linksys devices with locked firmware. I've emailed BrainSlayer and we'll see if he responds here or not.
