A year ago I built three LM's with V3.2 HM's. All three of the LM's are Model WRT54g V2. I successfully updated the LM I kept for myself to version 8. A friend that I gave one of the other LM's to wanted me to update his. I unsuccessfully tried updating just the LM package multiple times. I then tried flashing the full version. It got most of the way though the upgrade and then froze up. When I rebooted (it sat at least 8 hours before rebooting) the power light flashes fast, and the DMZ light turns on and off every few seconds. It no longer responds to pings. I assumed JTAG was the only way to access it now.
I hooked it up with my JTAG cable and using the HDM software was able to save backups of the CFE, NVRAM, KERNEL, and WHOLEFLASH, and when I do a -probeonly it sees the CPU fine. After that I tried erasing the NVRAM and rebooting but that didn't fix it.
My question is can I make a backup of the WHOLEFLASH on my LM that has already successfully updated, and then flash it to the one that is bricked? Will this solve the problem or should I go about it a different way?
Thanks
