Hi!

I wanted to try a new version of DD-WRT on one of my WRT54GL v1.1 but it looks like it was too recent / did not work with the device.

Currently the device is not reacting at all: no 30/30/30 reset helps, if I connect it to a computer via Ethernet cable the status does not change ("cable unplugged").

Any chance to bring it back to life?

Thanks!

Yes possible via TFTP, serial, if CFE intact, otherwise JTAG.

Would certainly help to know what file you tried flashing. For all we know, you could've used a build from the router database that could have been bunk.
