Hi!

Twice now I have tried flashing v3 build 37305.

In the router database this version should be supported by 3.x version routers. I did the 30/30/30 reset of the original firmware and then flashed factory-to-ddwrt via the web interface.

The result is a bootlooping router, that I have to unbrick via serial. No biggie, but I'd really like to get dd-wrt running on it again.

Am I missing something?

Don't use the router database. See the link in my signature.

Try the latest build and then post something in the build thread here, for 37837: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=317573

PS, I have bricked all of my routers at one point or another. Most of them have serial pins that I soldered on to them. I have only completely ruined (not recoverable) two routers, my WRT-400N and my 1043ND v1.8. My 400N should be recoverable via serial and TFTP, but I can't get the serial interface to work. The 1043ND just looks dead.

Why did this need a poll?
