Hi,

i am using DDWRT 2.x for years, and today i tryed to update my 3700 V1 to the latest 3.x beta

It faild , but i was able to ping 192.168.1.1 and flash the original firmware. From here, i flashed the factroy.bin file, but this faild, again.

What is wrong here? Is the beta just buggy? Has anyone an 3700V1 working with the latest beta?

The V1 is an Atheros based router, there is only one kernel for that build. Here is the latest as of this post: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2019/01-18-2019-r38326/netgear-wndr3700/

Recovery and more info are here:

More recovery here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19841

If you read and did all of those recovery links that I posted earlier and they did not work, the next step is to buy something like this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/954

Serial would be next, hook that up to the router and figure out why it is rebooting.

TFTP is very easy on these routers though, so the links I posted above should work if they are done correctly. Get back to Netgear firmware first. Then try DD-WRT again.

No, sorry... you missunderstand me...

I am able to go back to the Netgear Firmware without any Problems by using tftp2.
But if i try to update to " your " Version of ddwrt by the Netgear GUI or tftp2, i end in the endless reboot again.

I am not able to boot with ddwrt 3.x beta at all...

I don't know if the v1 is the same but for the v4 you can only get to DD-WRT from factory by using the minimum usable version on the supported devices page.

For the v1 it says to use 14158 from 3-29-2010.

Unfortunately that build does not seem to exist but the next newer one is 14280 04-15-2010 and the first build I see for the wndr3700.

This is a link to the wndr3700-factory.img for that build if you care to try.

Hello, I was searching for the file build 14158 to suit V1 and came across the following https://dd-wrt.com/support/other-downloads/?path=betas%2F2010%2F07-16-10-r14815%2Fnetgear-wndr3700%2F so it could just be a typo.

Also I have just recovered a V1 to OEM using TFTP after a customer soft bricked using OEM V2 firmware. I used the hints and tips from this website, so thank you!
