I figured out what I was doing wrong with why it would't TFTP. (I wasn't adding the last 0 to the address on the one address).
Anyway, following the tutorial, and using 0201, I flashed the Fonera. Everything went as it should until I came to the reset command. The router just sat there, and did nothing. I left it sit for about 20 min, and it still did nothing...
So I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, and went into Telnet. It showed me the "Loading script in xx seconds" and then just sat there. I let it sit for another 10-20 mins, and it still did nothing.
So I unplugged it again, and now it's bricked. The power light comes on, and the Internet light just flashes. I have tried to Telnet back into it @ 192.168.1.254:9000 and I get "Could not open connection to host, on port 9000". SSH does nothing as well....
I have tried to hold the reset button in for up to 2 min, and nothing happens.
So it's bricked... right? Now what to do? _________________ "No Matter Where You Go, There You Are..."
I have the 0201 firmware, and I wanted to install the 0215 firmware... but when I go through the process to load the firmware, it doesn't change...... it stays 0201....
I am not brave enough to try the build in firmware updater.... _________________ "No Matter Where You Go, There You Are..."
