Can't change FW

Post by Ajax »

Hello!

I wanted to ugrade gargoyle FW from 1.3 to 1.4. I have WRT54GL 1.1. After upgrade I realized, that I choose not-broadcom FW. My wifi doesn't work and command wifi returns wl0(broadcom): Interface type not supported. I downloaded right FW and wanted to upgrade. But there is problem. Through web UI router download FW, disconnect interface for a while (tested with ping 20s maybe) and restart with old FW. I tried to downgrade, but result is same. Any ideas? THANKS!

You can use the TFTP method documented here
http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/dok ... e_recovery

Start the TFTP as soon as you seen the rapidly flashing power LED after powerup.
Linksys WRT1900ACv2
Netgear WNDR3700v2
TP Link 1043ND v3
TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1

Doesn't work. Router says
Error on server : code pattern incorrect
But I have good firmware, I think. I have
gargoyle_1.4.1-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx
and my device is
WRT54GL 1.1

Try following that

Use either Linksys firmware or DD-WRT firmware to
recover your device first, then go ahead and flash the
Gargoyle firmware back on via the DD-WRT GUI (if flashing DD-WRT)
