Posted: Tue May 11, 2021 2:51 Post subject: I screwed up the ea8500 router firmware.
I was flashing according to the instructions https://mrjcd.com/EA8500_DD-WRT/ and I made a mistake I did not check the network cable. I did not insert the plug to the end because of this there was no connection with the TFTP server. I didn’t pay attention to it. Now I have completely erased the firmware and I cannot fall in love with the network cable to the computer because the router does not pick up the link. The computer sees it as if the cable is not connected. I have a cp341a programmer for TTL connection. Here's what the router is showing now:

I read this before posting. I don't understand how this can help me. I foolishly killed both the first boot image and the second. I now need a way to launch ethernet ports or somehow load an image from a USB flash drive.
You should still be able to flash DD-WRT with mrjcd's instructions once your ethernet link is working without having to flash stock firmware back to it...
