What is a step by step procedure to change/upgrate firmware from MICRO without tfpt, wget, or scp? I can only "telnet" to the router?
I upgraded firmware from standard v22 to micro v23 on WRT54GS v2.0. The problem is that now I would like to use http admin. It seems that the micro version of dd-wrt does not have httpd, ftpd, or sshd (it's possible that I had ssh and tftp disabled before update to micro - dont remember). Micro doesn't even have "ls" to view the directory tree.
I think you're right. I rebooted and tried reaching it with http and it puts out:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
And nothing else... it just stops. Right before I flashed with Micro, I had the newest linksys ( WRT54GS firmware 4.71.1 ).
The firmware loaded ok, but had trouble with all the dd-wrt configurations (http gui admin was working, but internet was not reached despite accurate WAN and LAN settings). Thus, I upgraded to Micro and the internet was working, but no http gui admin !![/url]

If I cannot recover by telnet troubleshooting, I guess I have to use the managed mode... I would hate to do that because I am disabled and the router is mounted on the wall in the closet. I would need help to dismount it with help from a friend and hours of explaining, and remounting ... etc.

Did you restore to defaults before flashing ? if not, that could be part of your problem, old NVRAM settings laying around. Have you tried resetting it to defaults ?, of course you would have to put all your setttings back in after it rebooted.
If you cant get to it thru the web interface you can telnet in and issue the command:
nvram erase
and then
reboot
also the tftp is in the CFE, but you only have a few seconds after the reboot to get in, but it does not erase NVRAM, this has to be done by resetting to facory or a NVRAM erase.
That is probably what you need to do...just be ready to put all your settings back in.

Thank you. I tried "nvram erase" then "reboot". The values of nvram does not seem to be reset. I've included a dump of "nvram show" attached. Some values are replaced with "[HIDEN FOR SECURITY]" for privacy purposes. It seems the firmware version from linksys made changes which isn't erased by nvram erase command.
The commands available to me are listed below (obtained by double TAB)
Ok, just a quick note. I asked someone to reset the nvram by the "reset" button. That worked, and http admin gui came online at 192.168.1.1. THANK YOU AGAIN :)
One thing about busybox on micro though ... it really doesn't seem to have ls, wget, nor sshd. It only seems to have the httpd and telnetd. I'm not sure about mini and standard.
