It seems there is a missing flash image to be able to use standard dd-wrt images on buffalo whr-1166D (r26138 and older images are rejected by original firmware)
As I had similar experiences with the Buffalo whr-600D I assume there needs to be the buffalo branded dd-wrt image first before the standard image can be used
Does someone have more information about this issue?

Hi redhawk,
thanks for the response but there seems to be a different issue with the images provided for the WHR-1166D.
I tried now all bin files from 03-05-2015-r26446 › buffalo_whr_1166d (firmware-eu, firmware-us, firmware-jp, firmware.uimage)
and the all produce a "invalid firmware message" if you try to upload them on the original firmware (buffalo 1.6)
I think you should go back to a previous stock firmware, which doesn't do checks for invalid non-stock firmware. And then try from that. _________________ THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE; ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T YET MET.

I tried all stock firmwares for whr-1166dhp from 1.01->1.4->1.6->1.7 by webui, but all produce a "invalid firmware message" too.
And tftp method gets the same result.
1.01 stock firmware is the earliest firmware I get from Internet.
Any suggestion?Thanks in advance.
can you help to provide your steps about how to install whr-1166dhp with ddwrt?
WHR-1166DHP seems to be a Japanese model. DD-WRT supports only WHR-1166D, I don't know if there's a big difference and if the 1166DHP accepts the firmware from 1166D.
Download and install PumpKIN 2.7.3 from http://kin.klever.net/pumpkin/binaries
Use it to TFTP the earliest factory firmware for WHR-1166DHP
Then try flashing factory-to-ddwrt, but honestly I don't know which version you should begin with, in the first place (25139 for the 1166D model, as suggested in the "Supported Devices" link ?) _________________ THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE; ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T YET MET.

Hi folks,
I can confirm that I have the same situation as spdlef with a german model WHR-1166D
I have tried as well tftp... no chance... I think we have here just a missing link. I had the same experience with an older model of buffalo (WHR-600D) were it was only possible to use images from the dd-wrt site after I insalled the buffalo branded image from the buffalo download page. So I assume there needs to be this first image first.

Do someone know about this image?

I'm with all you guys. I'm stuck to, but I can add this. I've portscanned the stock firmware on the router, and there is no port 69 active for tftp. The v1.00 of the firmware only has 80 and 53, plus 61771 and 51279. V1.70 of the firmware adds 443 and 444. So the web interface is the only way, and even though there is a dir for the 1166D, none of the files work.
I was able to find v1.30 of the WHR-1166D US firmware, but it still checks for a valid firmware image. There are two possible tracks for resolving this; modify a factory image to skip the test, or figure out what the factory image is looking for.
