Posted: Wed Dec 09, 2009 10:33 Post subject: Unbrick / Install WRT610N V1&V2 using TFTP and DD-WRT
So I am surfing again on my Linksys WRT610N V1 which was totally bricked just a minute ago. To be honest, i was stupid enough to just flash a dd-wrt image without having read all the warnings. I decided to write a short post on how i did it, this is my first tutorial ever, but i just wanted to share this knowledge, so don't be to hard on me.
The Problem:
-Thousands of posts on the internet about bricked WRT610N's V1 & V2.
-WRT610N's can't be unbricked with TFTP since transfer will stop at about 4MB.
-The firmware management tool (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT610N#Recovery_.28Unbricking.29) is not working => no easy way to unbrick.
The Solution
So here comes my solution: We need a smaller image which we can flash on our WRT610N as to get a webbase possibility to flash a bigger image (I only have a V1 to test, but i guess it's the same with the V2). DD-WRT just released new images (THX to EKO).
http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
1. First we need to download the image. I had no luck with the versions for WRT610N V1, so i tried with V2, which worked on V1: http://www.dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/Linksys/WRT610N/2.0/dd-wrt.v24-13401_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini_wrt610nv2.bin/2332
2. We flash this image using tftp. The bin-file is small enough and its transfered successfully. There are enough guides howto unbrick Linksys Routers using tftp.
3. Do a factory reset (30-30-30). After the reboot, the power-led is still blinking,
4. Plugin a lan cable and connect to your pc, you don't get an ip. So that means the lan ports are not working and together with the light it might seem like nothing is working. (I guess when you are using V2 it works directly, so skip to step 6)
5. Now the real funny thing: Remove the lan cable and reboot (unplug) the WRT610N. Wait some minutes until the wlan light on the WRT610N goes on. Then look for a WLAN called 'dd-wrt'. Its unsecured, connect to it. Its working and you get an IP!!!
6. Use a Browser and go to 192.168.1.1
7. You are on your WRT610N on a running DD-WRT (only WLAN no LAN-ports! on V1)
8. After entering your new password browse to 'Administration=>Firmware Upgrade'
9. I know, it's written everywhere to never upgrade new firmware usin wlan, but you want brick your WRT610N anymore then it already is. So just go ahead and choose 'Reset after Upgrade' upload the file you wish (didn't work with firefox 3.5!!!):
DD-WRT on WRT610N V1:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/Linksys/WRT610N/1.0/dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin/2327
DD-WRT on WRT610N V2:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/Linksys/WRT610N/2.0/dd-wrt.v24-13401_NEWD-2_K2.6_big.bin/2334
Original Linksys Firmware (choose the correct version):
http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT610N
10. Wait 5 minutes or so to led it reboot. Reconnect with LAN or WLAN.
My WRT610N is now running on DD-WRT with LAN an WLAN anf WAN. Goto 192.168.1.1 to configure..
Please let me know if this was any help!

There are a lot of posts which tell that this management system doesn't work in all cases. I was never able to see this page with the guide in the link you posted.
The other thing is that it doesn't work if i flash the V1 mini version directly. Only the big version seems to work on my V1.
Just wanted to share..

It does if you do it correct, most who fail has ignored removing all ethernet cables from the ports.
I don't think I have seen anyone else here in the forum saying that it doesn't work, lots of users here have succeeded doing it this way.
There are also older, small dd-wrt builds, available which you can tftp.

I've tried every non-evasive fix known to man, and it is still bricked, have not tried the jtag, not so sure how that works and does not want to open the case. Can someone please help? Will try jtag if all else fails. Maybe consider sending it in to a repair shop.

It is all in the timing - (it is easy if you have serial console to see what is going on).
Anyway.. I found the best time to press reset is 2 - 2.5s after you plug power in. Keep it pressed for 5 s, then release it and plug your lan cable. You should get management page at 192.168.1.1.
Works 100%

Tried this with a v2, but the lan didn't work, and the wifi didn't show up (it never goes beyond a blinking power light). I guess I must be missing something.
I've also completely failed to get the router into firmware management mode, and it's not like I haven't tried (I've probably tried it 100 times over the last 6 weeks or so).
If anyone does manage to get this working with a v2, please let me know how.
Thanks.

Of course there is no wifi. you must set your PC to static IP (like 192.168.1.10), then connect LAN cable on open management console at 192.168.1.1

Apologies, I meant there is no wifi at step 5 in the guide above. I am aware there there is no wifi in management mode.
I'm also a full time network consultant, so I know the basics.
Edit: is that console log from a v2?

There is currently no jtag support for the WRT610N.
Edit: no jtag support for WRT610Nv2
If you can't access the management page then you may have a severe brick, ethernet switch IC may be dead or the flash is totally wiped so there is no bootloader in it anymore.
It is quite easy to test:
1. Set your computer to a static IP of 192.168.1.10, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1
Use a Linux rig or WinXP if possible, both Win Vista and Win7 has a habit of getting extremely upset if they can't find an internet connection and they will start to repair the connection and sometimes switch between home and office network settings.
Connect LAN cable between your computer and the routers LAN port, turn off wifi card in computer if any.
2. Open a cmd window and type ping -t 192.168.1.1
Turn off router.
3. Turn on router and watch your ping window for reply with TTL = 100.
If you get a reply then the switch IC and the bootloader is ok, there is a chance for rescue.
If you don't get a valid ping response then you have a severe brick.

Your help worked like a freakin' charm, thanks a lot. I was just about to box it up and throw in the towel. I had to try your steps several times until I realized I needed to follow them word for word, after that, I reinstalled the Linksys firmware and it started working. Again thanks a lot.

WRT610N V1

Due to the rules that govern the use of the firmware for the Linksys WRT610N v2, we're no longer able to provide it for download. Chris-21499 Linksys Technical Support. Linksys WRT610N The WRT610N v1.0 is based on the Broadcom 4705 cpu running at 300MHz. It has 8 MB flash and 64 MB SDRAM (2x HY5DU561622FTP). The WNICs are a dual BCM4322 Chipset, one for 5GHz A and N and one for 2.4GHz B,G and N. /yu-gi-oh-power-of-chaos-joey-the-passion-iso-download.html. The switch is a BCM53115 chip. The WRT610N runs 802.11 A, B, G, and Draft N wireless protocols. It provides 4 gigabit. Does Linksys WRT610N v2 have a built-in FTP server? The FTP Server that can be accessed from the Internet or your local network. Does Linksys WRT610N v2 support wireless QOS and Internet Access Priority QOS? Does the Linksys WRT610N v2 come with software to backup your files to the USB hard disk? I have a WRT610N (v2) router and I recently updated the firmware to the most current version 2.00.01 build 15. I can no longer set WPA2 security for both bands (used to work just fine). Every time I try to save settings for WPA2 for the 5 GHz band, it tells me it was successful but then displays that the security mode is disabled (and it shows.

Hi there,
First things first, I want to thank Barryware for his guide on how to change a WRT610N v2 to a E3000.
I followed his instructions and the upgrade went smoothly. Right now I'm running on the latest stock linksys E3000 firmware (version 1.0.03) and it works fine. Very stable, but I'm missing some extra features.
I converted the router using this way:
WRT610N v2 (stock firmware) -> E3000 (dd-wrt firmware posted in the instruction of Barryware) -> E3000 (stock firmware). I want to flash a stable dd-wrt firmware back to the E3000 (stock firmware). I have read the guide of Barryware over and over again but it doesn't say how to do this. When I tried to load a eko dd-wrt fw for the E3000, the upgrade page says after 14%: Upgrade failed. Thankfully the router keeps working. So this means that the E3000 CFE and the stock linksys firmware has some firmware header checking onboard.
My question is: How can I upgrade my converted E3000 to a stable build of dd-wrt (eko v15508)? Keep in mind that I do not have ssh or scp access to change the cfe again, because I'm running the stock E3000 fw.
I have all files (cfe, original WRT610N v2 firmware) backed up.
Thank you very much for your answers.

Yep thats it, follow what Ronnie linked, keep in mind you have an E3000 now, so E3000 rules apply. And unless you revert it back to a wrt610n v2, you'll always have an e3000 now.

Buddee and Ronnie_USA,
Thank you very very much for the wiki link. I have read the wiki last week but I didn't see the logical connection between the wiki and an E3000 running stock linksys fw.
Now that you guys explained that to me, I followed the steps and my converted E3000 is running DD-WRT once again.
I will edit the wiki link with some more information and I will also put that you can use the steps in the wiki to upgrade your converted E3000 (running stock linksys fw) to DD-WRT. This will make it easier for a lot of users (I hope).

Either edit it in or if you don't feel like editing in a bunch of info over it, just edit in a link to this post, it'll explain the rest
