Flashing DD-WRT
These are instructions for the WRT54G2 V.1 ONLY
 * Linksys WRT54G2 v1.0


 * 1) Download ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/WRT54G2V1%20Flashing/VxWorksKiller-G2V1-new.bin
 * 2) Download ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/WRT54G2V1%20Flashing/dd-wrt.v24-10709_NEWD_micro.bin
 * 3) Download ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/WRT54G2V1%20Flashing/tftp.exe
 * 4) Reset the router to defaults on the Linksys Admin page, and let it reboot or manually reboot it after its finished. Read the peacock announcement http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486 and take special note of number 11, (how to tftp).
 * 5) Set your computer to a static IP address of 192.168.1.8 and 255.255.255.0 for a mask and plug ethernet cable into LAN port of the G2v1 unit.
 * 6) Log in admin page (username is blank, password = admin) and navigate to firmware upgrade page. Browse to the VxWorksKiller-G2V1-new.bin file, press Upgrade and wait 120 seconds for it to reboot on its own, if it does not, then powercycle the router manually. Wait another 12 0seconds and reboot it again. Router should now be listening for tftp transfer of dd-wrt firmware.
 * 7) Tftp the DD-WRT firmware to the router, use "dd-wrt.v24-10709_NEWD_micro.bin" that you downloaded in step 2; after sucessful tftp, wait 3 min for the router to finish writing new nvram deafults, etc... It should reboot on its own at least two times, so give it 3 min and then go to http://192.168.1.1 (If it not reboot on its own, wait another 1 min, and then power cycle it)
 * 8) When if finishes booting up...do a hard reset on the unit...let it boot again, and configure.
 * 9) Upgrade the NEWD_Micro.bin build 12548 after you have dd-wrt running, following the steps in note 1 of the peacock announcement
 * 10) Don't forget to set your computer back to automatically obtaining DHCP and DNS.
 * 11) Check for recommended builds here.

Reverting to OEM Firmware from DD-WRT
Warning - There is only one way to revert at this time. Through JTAG and it has a generic mac address that can be fixed with mac clone.

OK...anyone willing to try it with JTAG...here is a "generic" original Linksys wholeflash for the WRT54G2V1.
 * It has an embedded MAC address of 00:21:29:00:00:01
 * This MUST be loaded back to the unit with JTAG...no exceptions.

This is an altered/edited wholeflash.bin file from my virgin unit...before dd-wrt was loaded.
 * [EDIT] - reported to be working.
 * redhawk


 * generic-WHOLEFLASH.BIN - This is vworks, not linux

DD-WRT JTAG Recovery

 * 1) Backup CFE x2 (Compare the files, they must match exactly or there is something wrong with your JTAG setup)
 * 2) Erase Wholeflash x2
 * 3) Flash CFE
 * 4) Unplug Power
 * 5) Unplug JTAG Cable

TFTP:


 * 1) Set Rig ip static 192.168.1.10
 * 2) Plug network cable from rig to port 1
 * 3) Get TFTP ready, server ip - 192.168.1.1, Password - blank, file - dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin
 * 4) Plug in power
 * 5) As soon as windows says "connected" hit upgrade. May have to use a network hub to make sure windows is always connected.
 * 6) Hard Reset 30\30\30

DD-WRT Serial Recovery
Modified Redhawk0 instructions
 * 1) Connect Serial cable
 * 2) Start one of the programs from above
 * 3) Get TFTP ready with file selected
 * 4) Use dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin
 * 5) Connect power to the router
 * 6) start a rapid fire Cntl-C as you plug the router to power
 * 7) type "nvram erase" w/o quotes, hit enter
 * 8) type "flash -noheader : flash1.trx" w/o quotes, this starts the tftp daemon, hit enter
 * 9) but have tftp.exe ready
 * 10) Click go or start on TFTP
 * 11) give it 5 minutes after it finishes
 * 12) then power cycle....hard reset...then config
 * 13) when it stops spitting out txt in the serial consol....hit the enter key...you should get a login prompt...at that point, power cycle it, Hard reset or 30/30/30...then config
 * 14) you'll see it boot up
