Um. I'm guessing that the XVortex CFE complied is only for the ea6400? Or does this include the ea6300v1? I would guess they're cross compatible but because this is a form of a bootloader, I guess it's not my job to mess with the cfe .
I don't have any abnormal temperatures whilst running dd-Wrt on my ea6300v1 so I cannot see any benefit for me (other than the nvram bugfix). The next changeset does sort out the partialboots so I'm guessing I may test this out again to see if the three reboot brick is fixed
If the CFE does fix the bricks after three reboots, I'll try it out on my ea6300v1 - though I'm not sure if its compatible

ea6300v1 & ea6400 have the same hardware, they are the same species. I got the ea6300v1.

Well, yes I know the firmware can be flashed but my point is if the cfe can be flashed? Something must determine the model between an ea6300v1 and a ea6400 and I'm guessing it's a property in this cfe.
I just don't want a unbootable router as of cfe...

Hum... you didn't read my previous posted above. I did said I’m using the xvortex_cfe_ea6400.bin

The xvortex_cfe_ea6400.bin boot up slow because it gives more time to wait for the tftp flash upload. It's good for debrick also you don't have the 32k nvram bug. I'm very appreciated.
Will give this a go tomorrow night. The offending router is used to connect to Sky Fibre which can be a bit painful to get going again.[/url]
Still no joy with this - any other suggestions?
now have 1 router with 27805 and the other 27700 despite upgrading via telnet and web interface!? _________________ Downstairs EA6300v1 - DD-WRT build 27858

the mtd tools report an error with unlocking, but the tools do erase and write to mtd. so be careful.
you should check your mtd structure with this command:
I've got the modified cfe running on my router and it's working great; good job
For anyone who's wondering, it has fixed the nvram 32k limit and my problem with it bricking after 3 reboots. Asus-Wrt (Merlin) 378.56_alpha2-X5.6 is now my daily driver. I think I need to find the gpio command to turn on the light though as it is off.
5G and 2.4G performance were never a problem on the normal dd-wrt for me and still isn't with the new cfe and different firmware.
And yes, I did have the same problem as rosenrot with it bringing a error of [e]Erasing mtd failed: linux2 and yes the Asus firmware did flash successfully on both firmware paths.
I guess I have finally found a alternative to the stock Linksys firmware
The new cfe, doesn't seem to fix the temperature problems, but I guess I'll just attach a usb hub and hook up a usb fan and continue using my hard drive on another port.
