Description: The router indicator lights seem awfully purposeful for a bricked router? The power light blinks twice on power up. The lan light with a plugged in cable lights green when plugged in and starts flashing yellow like there is traffic. The reset button brings the all lan lights off and then all back on then off again routine? The router gets pretty warm after awhile.
I have followed the peacock thread
0)Ip set to 192.168.1.10 gateway to 192.168.1.1 dns to 192.168.1.1
1)numerous 30/30/30 resets
2)various combinations of timings to try to get to management mode(I dont know if it even exists for this router)
3)pinging the router gets time out but when I plug in the lan cable I more likely get response from the pinging ip destination...
4)I finally found the linksys tftp exe but without communication its useless
Hopefully somebody can throw me a bone. I worked on it for about 4 hours last night but I am currently at work.
Thanks a bunch I usually dont need help but I probably am doing or did something stupid.

You appear to have missed note 6...
And, yes, plugging IN the lan cable is advisable when pinging. You are much more likely to get a response. _________________ SIG:

Build 23082 bricks (from what i read) e3000 and e4200 routers (or all linksys routers that came out in 2010-2011). and if it didnt, it would probably be partially working which i woudl suggest you flash to k3 21676 or use kong 22200.
if you are able to ping the router, try a tftp recovery. if you get no pings or tftp is unsucessful, do a serial recovery.
as for my e3000, it ended up getting hard bricked. i dont know how it happened, but all it does is an unresponsive bootloop. 2 other people had luck with theirs so i guess i did something wrong.
i would highly suggest getting a nokia ca-42 cable, a multi-meter, and read this guide here.

Actually no I did note 6. Um thanks for the suggestion and your sense of humour lol but I of course had the cable in while constantly pinging, however Eko suggests while trying to get the router into management mode that NO lan cables be plugged in. If anybody has a more helpful suggestion or need me to clarify details even more feel free to help

I have replied in many other threads, this does cause a brick!
DO NOT FLASH K2.6 23082 build
Guys, please could you send me some link with photos where are these pins inside the E3200 board? I need to debrick it as well and bought a ca-42 cable. The main topic for the serial flash does it refer to particular E3200 pins.

Just get the CA-42 cable. While opening the USB part with the chip, it appears inside on the board a lable DKU-5 and chipset 6858(k)... Outside it is marked CA-42. Do you think I can use it? DKU-5 is supported as per the serial flashing instruction?
I tried it (DKU-5)... The cables are OK (while shorting Tx and Rx it returns echo). But while trying to get CNTR-C during first power ON - I cannot enter the menu..... Do you think it is because of DKU-5 instead of CA-42 cable?
You are likely not hitting cntl-c fast enough. _________________ SIG:

Hallo/hi!
i have also bricked my e3200 with the latest Build.
tried the 30/30/30 method several times but did not work for me. After that i got the management console running und flashed the latest firmware from linksys without success.
Not starting at all. Now i bought an usb2ttl serial to get it
back running. I am still waiting for delivery. Hope you can
help me through the serial procedure.
And mentioned when connected via the cable, PUTTY started and connected, but no power on of the router - I have echo. see the letters I type.. (the same if I make a short circuit between Rx and Tx). When Power the router, the echo disappears. is it normal?

Sometimes people make the mistake of connecting TX on the cable to TX on the router, and RX on the cable to RX on the router. Double-check to make sure that TX on your cable is correctly connected to RX on the router, and vice-versa.
GND on the cable should be connected to GND on the router, of course. _________________ RT-N66U: Brainslayer 23138 3.x Mega
