Hi Silent_Swift.
About editing the JavaScript files...
This is not impossible at all.
I used something called "Firmware Toolkit" to add
telnet to the original firmware, wich has worked
just fine. This is a free tool, and with that, you
can unpack the original firmware, edit the file,
and repack it.

Hi Malachi.
Can you elaborate a little more on how you did it?
I assume you used serial to stop it at the cfe prompt,
and then used tftp to upload the firmware image?
I stopped the cfe, then typed: flash -noheader : nflash1.trx, then used tftpd32 by jpourin to upload the build.
Also someone else asked about the 32k nvram bug, I don't know, as it shows in the screenshot I am below that. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

Hi Malachi.
Thank you for the info. When i played with it some time ago, I replaced my cfe with the one from the EA6900.
As far as i understood from previous posts, that should not have this 32k bug.
But one has to change the boardtype and clock frequency manually as this is different for the EA6900.
One thing to note here is, that it waits a looong time before it starts loading the firmware.
Don't quite know why that is so. Besides that i have had no trouble using this cfe.
I am now wondering, if dd-wrt will detect my router wrong, thinking it is a EA6900 and not an EA6400
Are you running dd-wrt with all bells and wistles, having ssl/tls enabled to see if the bug still exists?
Guru developers! - BS first:
Possible to flash 6300v1 with 6400 from ddwrt asus firmware from webinterface or possibly bricks?
What do you think? And one more! if it wont start after flash, uart-vfe-tftp could work still to mend it, am i right?
Web:
It is a fool idea to edit the code of html, it can be easily seen , that upload passes that point , so not client side problem, it is a firmware problem, possibly firmware kit solves, but telnet also an outstanding idea.

I'm running a vanilla setup, just using the two bands, wpa2 aes security and nothing else. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
Led works however to me, restarts after load, USB activates and restarts after a second. Reseted to defaults before and done a reset after (10-30 sec press , reboot)

How you stopped it please......
How do you connect to the router? 9600 baud , parity none 1 stop?
What typed when and how to stop load process? was that the only command you typed after it , no tftp ip or anything else?
You wrote a .trx file, have you renamed the .bin of the new build or what?
I had to take it out of use and put my r7000 in.
No matter which channel I tried the 2.4ghz crawled, in 20hz of course.
In the system info page it said it was 5.5mbps. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
Yes and since we all know how to do that will you tell me how you done it for that specific device? I opened the case and no uart port at first sight, and please give me the point where can i read how to connect ea6300v1 w serial line mode , and how you uploaded the image, plus why .trx image you wrote?
I guess the cfe stop command will be found somewhere ......
To stop the cfe use control + C like the guide says.
I used the file linked in this thread from today.
The serial port is the white one with 6 small pins.
Last one on the right is ground, second to last is tx or rx, then the fourth to last is txt or rx.

Flash this, then flash the full version of DD-WRT on the FTP.
linksys-ea6400-numinit-super-hacky-smaller-version.bin will give you a partially broken version of dd-wrt (stripped of many binaries that made the image too big), then you can flash linksys-ea6400-webflash.bin to get the whole thing working.
I am a terrible person for making this, but it works. A hex editor was involved, but, damnit, I've had this router for 2 years and never been able to get DD-WRT loaded onto it.

The DD-WRT FTP will get you the rest of the way. Enjoy
