| Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2007 14:43 Post subject: From OpenWRT to DD-WRT | Hi, dudes. OK, here is the thing. I easily installed DD-WRT to my router (Linksys WRT54GL), then I wanted to test OpenWRT and got it installed. Now the problem is, how do I install DD-WRT again to my router? I have tried install DD-WRT firmware trough OpenWRT WWW-interface but it didn't work. Any ideas are more than welcome. Thanks! |

I have had consistent issues with FF 3.x, 4 and 5 and firmware updates I have had success with Google Chrome v14.0.835.186 on XP Cheers Chris |

| Posted: Sun Nov 27, 2011 19:06 Post subject: | This is an old thread but since I had so much trouble getting my WRT150N v1 back to DD-WRT from OpenWRT I thought it my duty to post. For the WRT150N v1 I have had very little success flashing non-openwrt bins when in openwrt and I have tried dozens of times. I was unable to find a 'generic' trx file as noted above on the DD-WRT site. I was able to find a trx file on the Download page of DD-WRT site which worked. I used the following procedures to get from OpenWRT to DD-WRT on the WRT150Nv1 (every time): 1. Download a copy of PuTTY. SSH into the router suing PuTTY using the router IP address and login to OpenWRT. 2. Execute the following commands: wget http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/v24-sp1/Consumer/Linksys/WRT150N_v1/dd-wrt.v24_mini_asus.trx -O /tmp/firmware.trx mtd -r write /tmp/firmware.trx linux 3. Allow the router to reboot. This downloads DD-WRT mini_asus trx file into the tmp directory. You can then flash your drive using the mtd command. |

- Goto System / Upgrade (Firmware Upgrade)
- Download the DD-WRT dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin image to your PC.
- Upload the dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin image and click on the Upgrade button
- Wait 2 minutes. The router will reboot itself automatically after the upgrade is complete.
- Do a hard reset and clear your browsers cache
- You are done! Access the router via DD-WRT web GUI at http://192.168.1.1/ (username: root/password: admin)

I tried this method for my wrt1200ac router, running OpenWRT and I receive the following error. 'The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform.' Is there another file format available for the dd-wrt generic image? Thanks! |

I also get the same error. 'The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform.' Why does DD-WRT not have another file format so that we can switch? Thanks |

Code: | 'The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform.' |
I tried with the MTD commands lines but For the last I have this error :
Code: | root@OpenWrt:/tmp# mtd write dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.trx linux Could not open mtd device: linux Can't open device for writing! |
I tried the TFTP and have the error of :
Code: | -ash: nvram: not found
|
There is no package that can solve the nvram error. CAN BE HARMFUL TO THE ROUTER. To install DD-WRT : I made a HARD RESET by pressing for at least 20s on the RESET button. I restarted the configuration on the OEM firmware and then installed DD-WRT. Flash the factory-to-ddwrt.bin |
