Topic: WRT54G V2 bricked

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Unfortunately I bricked my WRT54G ver. 2. The Power LED is blinking all the time and now I am looking for a method to repair it. I know about the JTAG method, but this is complex and I don't have a JTAG adapter.
But now a guy gave me this link about another easier method: http://www.bechte.de/2006/03/08/linksys … are-flash/
It is about WRT54G V4 and there is only a screwdriver needed to connect pin 15 and 16, then it should be possible to upload a new firmware by tftp.
But is this method also possible with my ver. 2? Because my board looks very different to the one shown on the pics.
Thx

This is my first post, as I just signed up but I read the "Common mistakes" link at the top of these pages. What you are trying to do is listed there as a "common mistake".

The discussion might have continued from here.
