I'm stumped, its not bricked though. My last advice is to unplug the router and come back later to see if a more educated person has a thought on the situation. You should be getting a different ttl when the router is ready to accept the firmware, unless the boot_wait or whatever its called is disabled.

No problem, there are a few guys on this forum that will have input on this issue..... We just have to wait for them to wake up, just give your thread a bump if it gets pushed to the second page.

Nope.
This matches what happens best:
The power LED flashes very fast and after about 20 seconds it lights permanently, but the DMZ LED did not light up. In this case Bootloader and Kernel (firmware) are intact, only a wrong configuration from locked up the router. This can happen if a wrong or corrupt value exists in the NVRAM. Here simply clearing the NVRAM should solve the problem.

But the ways to fix it (Management Mode, Recovering with TFTP) didn't work.

You gotta try to catch it when it is booting and ttl=100 but you know that..

Do you have another router or a switch to put between your rig & the V2?

It seems that some nics don't initialize till they see a network signal. So when your router is booting and your rig finally sees the signal, it's too late and you blew by the window of opportunity.

Using a switch in between, the nic on your rig is initialized as the switch is giving your nic a signal.

All else fails... jtag to clear nvram & kernel.

Even using a switch the TTL still is always at 64.

While it is booting? I run a continuous ping and boot the router after launching the ping. Most of the time, you'll get a few destination unreachable, then a few ttl=100, then possibly some additional request timeouts, then ttl=64.

Yeah, I run a continuous ping, and it always seems to be 64.

Where are the responses that say host unreachable while you are pinging but the router is not powered up?

ok.. we are getting close.. now lets see the the transition..

start the ping, wait a second or so, then plug in the router. I want to see the transition from destination unreachable or request time out to the point where the router starts responding with ttl=xx
