Posted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 1:16 Post subject: ASUS RT-N12 without FLASH
Hi guys,
tried to flash my ASUS RT-N12 (B1) with "dd-wrt.v24-16785_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12B1.trx" Firmware, by using update Firmware on the original Firmware on the update section.
Unfortunately it did not restart as it should. Now I have flashing the LEDs, but no access anymore to the router. My computer is a MacBook, so the utilities on the disk do not work.
Any ideas how to get the DD-WRT firmware on the router or at least get the original firmware back on and start from scratch ?

ok, this is how far I got not. After I could ping my router, used TFTP client for MAC to transfer dd-wrt.v24-16785_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_RT-N12B1.trx to the router.
However it does not restart and ping still gives same reply the posted before
Put stock firmware back on it. You need to do the transfer during the ttl=100n responses. _________________ SIG:

Flash stock firmware from that screen. _________________ SIG:

Seems like I did get the Firmware back on, however I can not reach the router yet looking for it on SAFARI using 192.168.1.1
but when I ping it, I do get

Murrkf, thanks man, all it needed was pointing me in the right direction.
Revived the router and got access again to it, with the ASUS setup screen.
Now more important, how do I get DD WRT on the router and what is the correct version, as it seems the one from the DATABASE page was not the correct one.
Again thanks for pointing me in the right directions !
When flashing a router, always follow the steps in the wiki. _________________ SIG:
