Story:
- updated from previous build over browser, this after reboot get me back to Linksys firmware (OK this happen from time to time after update, but never get a problem)
- updatet from Linksys to 25544, new build started but something wrong (not all setting from previus build present and WiFi SSID wrong)
- started another update with reset seting to default, router never come back.
Now cant access router over LAN (only serial TTL work), Wifi not start, internet inaccessible, reset router react only at power on.
I flash firmware over tftp (do it many times) sucessful, but router not comeback.
Found 4 suspicion lines on PuTTY log:
Boot program checksum is invalid
nand_read_bbt: Bad block at 0x00c84000
No filesystem could mount root, tried: squashfs ntfs fuseblk
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,5)
Please help me.
See my complete log files, one without connected LAN cable only boot router and one started update over tftp.
See peacock announcement, note 6. _________________ SIG:

Thanks for answer.
I read peacock announcement note 6 but I did not learn anything that I already not knew before. But I see on page link to wiki serial recovery (I read it before but do not get step by step according to instructions).
I execute the "nvram erase" command but don't get next step "flash -noheader : flash1.trx" and "go" command, instead I let firmware get by CEF after reboot (obviously it did not work even if the log saying something else).
Now with run flash command I able restore original firmware and then DD-WRT, problem solved thanks.
