Hi,
Could anyone help me with whats going wrong, I flashed my MX4300V2 with very few issues
I have tried flashing linksys-mx5300/factory-to-ddwrt.img r60276 & r59346
I've tried through the 192.168.1.1/fwupdate.html and the CA firmware update
All say they update ok, however they always return to the linksys firmware.
I do have it disassembled at the moment as I thought I bricked it earlier on.
Look back and find a smaller sized factory-to-ddwrt.img firmware for 1st flash, then upgrade to the latest version is what I would try if that router v2 is supported. _________________ Main Router: Dynalink WRX36, PPPoE, Gateway Mode, Network IPV4 - Isolated Vlan's.

No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life!
I'll get a serial lead attached to it later on and see whats going on
But I did go through the firmware list last night and found since r59302 when it appeared
dd-wrt-webflash.bin minus 28 bytes is what factory-to-ddwrt.img file size is
