I bought this Linksys E1000 v2 two days ago and flashed a wrong version to the device and then it was bricked.
When it's powered on, it can't be connected even I fix a IP in my computer. It's totally dead.
Then, I bought a USB-TTL, successfully flashed the firmware I downloaded from Linksys to the device but the following error occurred:
"Invalid boot block on disk"
I tried again to flash dd-wrt for v2, no joy.
here are the details:
CFE version 5.60.101 based on BBP 1.0.37 for BCM947XX (32bit,SP,LE)

Read the serial recovery wiki article. You should be flashing linksys firmware for your unit. It looks like a micro jtag port next to that serial port, if you cannot get the serial to work. _________________ SIG:

Thanks very much for your guide and I fixed it after checking this link you said. LOL, thanks again.
