Hey guys I dun goofed with this Asus RT-N10 b1 up to the point where this fucker bricked.
So Now I need to flash it and I Have a soldering irons, the pinouts for the router and the rpi.
But I have no fucking clue how to do this.
Help me please!
>Pic related its the routers PCB.
>>
first you have to solder your own cpu
>>
>>53445669
I actually made an 8-bit cpu famer
>>
Plz help
>>
No one?
>>
hey dickfucker

did u seriously expect to find help on this fucking graphics card/desktop thread and apple consumerist board?

u just wasted your time dickhead

Go eat shit /v/tard
Thanks for the bump though.

says the redditor coming here asking about vague, stupid shit because he was such a dumb cunt he fucked up his own router lmao

just fuck off, idiot, you dont belong here

How do you even brick a router?
>>
>>53445654
>broadcom router
>going straight to serial unbrick
do you even TFTP bro?
>>
>>53445654
This is way too advanced for neo /g/, this place is for phones and vidya.
>>
>>53446128
By flashing it wrong>>53446120
>>53446133
You mean tftp in rescue mode?
Its not working, led are all powered on with a very dim light
>>
Just a bumps
>>
>>53446166
even when you hold the reset/wps button?

wow, OP, you really fucked up this time.

buy a SOIC-8 clip off eBay, and hook it up to your Pi. just go and reflash the SPI chip, it's way faster than bitbanging motherfucking JTAG.
>>
i have a j-tag prorgrammer i used on a cable modem

not sure if it would work here but I would give it to you

[email protected]
>>
>>53446372
Yep it's dead on the water,
Ill try getting one when I can but even if I get it how do I use it, i'm not really familiar with jtag or even serial to flashing routers specially on the pi are there any tuturials or simple documentation I can follow?
>>53446480
Going t email you.
>>
Have you tried the tftp firmware install method?
>>
>>53445669
Nice try ahmed
>>
>>53446697
Yes, I'v tried most methods I found online.
But the router at this point only powers up, I get no link up from any port and it lights up all the lights except the wps light very dimly.
So I'm thinking it's pretty much bricked

Well you can call the mothership

>>53446788
I got it for free can't even complain stock firmware is complete assburgers and I need to use features that it doesn't allow.

IKTF famer.
>>
>>53448129
Look for the tutorials of flashing libreboot (wich is more ore less the same thing, you are just flashing a SPI device). Just make sure you got the right pin-out from chip.
>>
>>53448406
mind linking me I can't find the exact ones.
>>
>>53445654
Have you tried TFTP first? I don't know about the RT-N10 but it's usually the first port of call when attempting to flash bad firmware before resorting to a JTAG connection and possibly fucking it up further.

It using JTAG then you're going to have build or buy a cable. Google around and see if any schematics exist on how to build one. You don't have to use a Pi either, it can be done with an old PC with an LPT port if someone has written the software to do so. Either way it's an extremely slow process and will take hours to transfer if the firmware image is large.
>>
>>53449738
I have tried it.

and I don't have an old pc.
I don't care about time constraints.
Got any links that could help me?
>>
if you have to ask, you cant do it yourself

do your own fucking search you dumb shit, and maybe next time you will read the instructions before you try to be a special snowflake and install some garbage wrt firmware
>>
>>53449942
I'd try it again and make sure you follow the procedures exactly. I had to do it a couple of times on my WRT54G before it worked.

https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-n10plus

As for the JTAG I can't find much on it. That wiki page has the GPIO pins outs but doesn't mention if anything further is needed. It might just be a direct wire connection to the Pi which is easy to do.

ask on the openwrt forums
they're really helpful

If it has UART by any chance, it would be relatively easy you'd just have to buy a PL2303 to USB adapter from China.
>>
>>53450440
I was on their IRC guess ill try the forums later.
>>53450511
I don't think so, mine doesn't even have any pins >>53445654
but this one does https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-n10plus.d1
>Mine is actually a d1 not a + d1
>>
i use my own tracker^^
>>
>>53450835
It doesn't need pins to have UART.
The serial protocol for those GPIO pinouts is probably UART, so just solder some wires to it and attach to PL2303 adapter.
>>

Attach this to the corresponding pins on the board.
Remember to attach TX on the router to the RX on the serial USB, and vise versa.

Use PuTTY to open a serial connection to the board.
>>
>>53450972
Ill be dammed this will work.

>>53450852
No nigger I have a segmeted AP network and since I pull the short straw at having to get the cheapest possible shit I have to flash them with whatever the heck Firmware works closer to linux so I can get basic functionability without having that shit running on router mode.

Something tells me you didn't make an 8bit computer, you just put one together that someone else designed.
