Bricked AR300M

Technical Support for Routers

I'm a proud owner of an AR300M, and I accidentally flashed a u-boot bootloader image as OpenWRT image.

Now, even without holding the reset button, it boots a U-boot image, and if I try and flash the OpenWRT image, the u-boot still stays as a system OS, as if nothing changed.

Thoughts? Options?

Are you flashing vanilla Openwrt?

No, I'm using the official GL.Inet images.

Try flash the AR300M uboot image first in the 192.168.1.1/uboot.html, and then flash the AR300M firmware image in the 192.168.1.1

That did it. I flashed the u-boot image, and magically, it spinned to life.

Thanks for the help, Bruce! You rock!
