Hi I followed a guide putting stock back on to my wrt32x without signing up and i can't seem to access my router at all via LAN connection.

I haven't a clue what I'm doing neither so that doesn't help.

I have tried the power in and out for the other partition but when I flashed it I think I overwrote the main flash.

If someone could advise please or is it broke

It would be helpful if you told us what guide you followed and exactly what you did after reading it.

If you really messed up it's likely recoverable with a USB to TTL Serial cable such as Adafruit 954 or DTECH FTDI 3.3V.

I followed this guide without logging in

Last commands I ran was

Did you copy venom.img into /tmp before running that command?

Is venom.img from a flat image on this forum, or did you download directly from Linksys and rename (bad idea)?

Drivers? Your cable doesn't use FTDI. The Prolific PL2303TA is the chip mentioned in the 2-pack you bought.

Older violet color Adafruit cables used this Prolific chip, but they moved on to SiLabs.

Hi i have tried installing the driver you said and its not working its coming up with the silicon labs cp210x usb to uart bridge

I also ordered another cable and its doing the same will it be worth just returning the router?

It seems your seller from Amazon switched over to SiLabs CP210x chip as well, without updating the listing.

This router is recoverable, but in my opinion if you rely on wireless a much better experience is with a different router.

I have WRT3200ACM, which the WRT32X is based, and since have moved on to R7800 and EA8500.

Netgear R7800 is the most popular (or R9000 but it's too expensive). Older chipset is Linksys EA8500 or Netgear R7500V2.
