If you used Koolshare cfe with the UUID key backed up is a parameter present in your Koolshare cfe, you can just simply flash the stock firmware and it's done
However, if you didn't backup your UUID_key (yes it's unique to each device) then you cannot go back to stock firmware (if you try, it will brick without the UUID_Key of your original firmware. It will just be stuck on the waiting screen). To go back you need your uuid_key or your original stock cfe.
However, I can see you posted here I don't know if his cfe will work, but I know for certain that the parameter of UUID_Key is required.
If you have saved your UUID_key or have taken note of it. Just insert that into your Koolshare cfe using the cfe editor and flash stock firmware and it's done. Just note that WPS won't work with stock firmware and Koolshare cfe.
Kong's DD-WRT v3.0-r30465M is very stable here
Hi Silent_Swift,
I didn't use Kool's CFE instead of Xvortex's CFE. Are they difference? I have done to backup my UUID_Key already. Can you help me check and correct my CFE with UUID_Key included? Thanks in advance!

Thanx for answers!
Ok! This is photo my router!
All is fine?
Yep all is fine. That is a EA6400 which is AC1600
Just go to your admin page and then go to troubleshooting and keep a backup of your status.
Then go to your connectivity menu and check that your firmware is 1.1.40.160989, if so your good to go.

I cannot help you with the UUID_Key as I personally don't have one to confirm it.
I have seen the Chinese have it worked on stock with their Koolshare CFE which contains the UUID_Key, I haven't seen any tests so far on the Xvortex.
I personally don't know. I'd say it should work, but just to be safe try Koolshare.
These cfe's are quite good in terms of recovery, you can run tftp and it will restore the router, I recovered it from a flash of asus firmware which wasnt built for thi router using the cfe. _________________ Linksys EA6400/6300v1 Guide

I did it! ))))
I follow by instruction @Silent_Swift and finaly dd-wrt-it!
But i needed double write short-firmware at step 3.7, because router is back to original firmware... but when i repeat write i can go on.
Thanx you all guys!
transmission and samba is include in this firmware! oh my god!
Samba is faster than my TP-link 842nd!
on WR842ND max speed to download via wifi is 3600 kb\sec
in ea6300 max speed to download via wifi is over 9000 kb\sec.
is awesome!

Great
If you want to upgrade your firmware at any time, you need to do it via terminal as the web gui may not work.
mtd -f write linksys-ea6400-webflash.bin linux2 (may fail as 2nd partition sometimes just isn't there)
mtd -f write linksys-ea6400-webflash.bin linux
erase nvram (if you want reset your settings)
reboot
Ignore any warnings as these are debug info.
and that's about it.
If your temperatures are very high like 90c or 100c, then you'll also need to fix the heatsink, if they're at 80c then it's okish for this router. _________________ Linksys EA6400/6300v1 Guide

Hi numinit,
I'm looking forward to your help for reverting to Stock firmware EA6400. Can you guide me step by step to flash?
I done with this guide from @butterworth(http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1009864#1009864). I don't have more experiences for de-bricking if my router was bricked. Thanks
I don't actually have experience debricking this router, there are others here that know their way around the CFE better than I do. _________________ How to EA6400:

Any advice on ssh refusing to connect? Im on r29519 and cannot get ssh to connect. It rejects password, it rejects rsa key. Same boat whether on windows with putty or via terminal in linux. Ive reset and still same issue. Thanks

Well, have you enabled the Secure Shell, SSHd in your services tab on the admin gui?
Just tick enable on the SSHd service and apply settings.
It's been working fine for Kong release on my end, uptime has been around 11 days, so very stable firmware
Username on SSH is always root and the password is the admin gui password.
I follow the steps on myEA6300V1 but have failure on "mtd -f write <filename> linux" with multiple retries even though "mtd -f write <filename> linux2" work fine, after reboot it works fine. But after power
down it never come back, I set static ip on pc try to ping it with ttl 100, only get "Destination host unreachable" when power up most time get time out. 30 reset or 30/30/30 reset do not change anything. Any idea? Or I can only recover it by open the case and hook up serial port and Jtag?
Thanks

Hi fehom,
I've been brick & debrick more than 20 times. I get used to it. I could test it. What performance do I have to pay attention for this built?
Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2016 2:15 Post subject: EA6400 unreachable after reboot
I flashed using the instructions in this thread. Everything seemed to go fine, however, after writing the full DD-WRT firmware to the router using SSH the router never comes up after reboot, even after waiting an hour. I've tried r30534 and r30691.
sequence:
write full firmware
reboot
unreachable
power cycle
unreachable
power cycle holding WPS
comes up prompting for password in new firmware
Stays up with minor issues, like being unable to assign DHCP to VAP or IPs to br1 (10 days up on r30534)
reboot
unreachable
so on and so forth
Any ideas?
edit: I decided to try and flash the modified CFE again (i used the koolshare CFE with my own values for MAC etc) using putty i got the error messages about being unable to unlock mtd0 but i ignored it and used the write commands as instructed. After the cfe flash was done I unplugged router, and plugged it back in holding WPS button and was able to access the router, being prompted to change password. I enabled SSH and using the regular putty/ssh method flashed r29396 + erase nvram + reboot. The router came back up in about 2 minutes and now I am able to reboot from the GUI without issues. Not sure what changed, but there you have it.

Hi, all!
I installed dd-wrt r30631 on Linksys EA6300v1. It works fine but when I enabled USB core, the 2.4GHZ radio not visible after reboot. Any idea?
