Happy new yrs! Hope everyone had good holidays. Has anyone been able to come up with a detailed success story for recovering using the provided .bin's above?
Not for me... I tryied to restore to orginal after killing board config, but router loads only in dd-wrt, and i can go back to the orginal ONLY after flashing router to dd-wrt. So WPA doesn't work.
P.S. Soory for english.

Hello guys.
I have a similar problem. I have a D-Link wireless router model Dir-400. I flashed the router on weekend and it was OK. I was happy because some computer in my office and cell phones could access to Internet. Yesterday I tried to flash again the router following the same steps of the weekend but it didn't work. So I run the command bdrestore. I tried to ping the router but now I didn't receive any response from the device.

Hello everyone,
I tried to play a bit with DD-Wrt/OpenWrt but now i need your help.
After flashing dd-wrt I noticed some failures at the wireless-things and the ses button.
I was hopefully, that openwrt has support of this, but there the same things happend.
OK, finally I decided to flash back the original firmware to start from the beginning.
The dd-wrt boot promt is now replaced with the original one:
Code:
RedBoot> version
Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 Red Hat, Inc.
Version: "RedBoot v2.3"
RAM: 0x80000000-0x80800000, [0x80036350-0x807ed000] available
FLASH: 0xbfc00000 - 0xbfff0000, 64 blocks of 0x00010000 bytes each.
RedBoot>
The firmware does not come up and flashing the firmware from the inbuild-emergency webserver does not help at all.
When Im trying to load another bootload ( ap61.ram ), every tftp-server gives me some errors.
WinAgents TFTPServer 4 times out after transmitting 131072 bytes. PumpKIN times out after 164352 of 165108 bytes.
Some problems happened with the boardconfig, too. But with some reading in this forum they aren't there any more:
RedBoot> load ap61.ram
Using default protocol (TFTP)
Entry point: 0x800410bc, address range: 0x80041000-0x800680d8
RedBoot> go
Now the device has to come up at 192.168.1.1, but there is nothing at all. The connection with 192.168.20.81 was not terminated, even after 30 minutes.
Can anyone help me? I'm trying the things since 3 oder 4 weeks.

Hi! Can you send me this full dump on my e-mail? It is very necessary. I accidentally killed my DIR-300 and I want to flash it with jtag.
I recommend to you that doesn't try to full flash via jtag because for this method need a very long time (few days). Only flash the redboot. After the flash your device will boot up and starting the bootloader. Now at this point possible to flash the firmware via the redboot about 10-15 mins.

Ok. But where can I download the original redboot and how do I properly fill (which should run)?
I followed the steps after I used jffs and nuked the board configuration. I was successful at restoring the original dlink firmware, but I am unable to restore the dd-wrt firmware. I run into this error No radio config data found! Any advice?
I had the same error, i activated de jffs without knowing that it nukes the board config and now i can't load the firmware.
THIS IS A SERIOUS BUG, SOMEONE AT LEAST DELETE THE JFFS OPTION FROM THE DIR-300 FIRMWARE SO THIS WON'T HAPPEN TO MORE PEOPLE
Can someone how knows how to FIX this, i mean to restore it without "no radio" etc. at least make a entry in the wiki, let's say "unnuke dir-300 board config from jffs bug"?
in my case the firmware settings were as just before bricking, so just disabled the JFFS option and saved, and made a backup of the NVRAM from the menu just that.
Hope this helps someone.
