Does that mean that there will not be any DD-WRT-firmware for this one?
Or will it take a long time for it to be available?

It won't be supported until the devs receive such a unit, they either buy one, receive one from Netgear, or someone donates one.

Hello,

I am afraid i have bricked my WNDR3700v1 a while ago by issuing an MTD erase command with the wrong parameter i dont even remember. May be this was mtd erase 1...

The result is now that when i power up the router i don't even see any led flashing , even the power one. I have serial module available, i only look for a tutorial to flash again the router properly with a full firmware + caldata.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did that too and found caldata. Just wanted to understand how you can flash from serial with proper commands, proper flash binaries, and when do you do caldata injection.

the caldata was never broken. the problem was software only. i posted a backup of the caldata in the trac item. flashing of caldata is simple

mtd -f write /tmp/caldata.bin board_config

but dont do that. your caldata isnt broken

u dont need serial to flash, if the router appears to not even turn on then thats something else..if u know for sure it turns on without any leds at all put it into tftp mode anyway & put the fw on it, if it takes the file then it should be fine after it flashes & boots then put caldata back

caldata is just for wifi with destroyed caldata the router should still run

I have connected the router through working serial console, it shows no booting, no life sign at all.
Thank you anyway for assistance !

hey guys
i'm also having the mac fault in my router
i've tried to unbrick my wdnr3700v1 with the tutorials that are at hand, but no luck

...<snip>...

any suggestions

I guess you meant wndr3700v1. Perhaps this is a solution: https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1005321#1005321

Before unbricking, check for a version that has been reported as working. Just to be "sure".

Edit:
Or check: https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=79802

I flashed to 14815 from 1.0.4.55 stock firmware after a 30/30/30 reset. Unfortunately it was not very stable for me, I had to reset it once a day (Wireless connectivity on both 2.4 and 5 would be gone after a while). I tried to go back to Stock firmware by using ddwrt's admin menu, but my attempts at flashing both 1.0.4.68 and 1.0.4.55 failed (ddwrt gave an error).

I then flashed 1.0.4.68 by TFTP, this went good. However, both wireless radios were off after the flash. Even if I clicked 'Enable Wireless Router Radio' under Advanded Wireless Settings, it would be unclicked and the LED lights would stay off. Then I noticed that I had the FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF mac address on my router (corrupt caldata?). I then followed Nid_fr's instructions, with a modification of the last command. Here is a list of steps once again:

1-Flash 1.0.4.31. This is necessary, because you need to use telnet, as the default user/pass will not work on 1.0.4.55 or higher. I also flashed DDWRT back, but it was unresponsive even after hard resets.

2- Download telnetenable: http://www.myopenrouter.com/download/10602/NETGEAR-Telnet-Enable-Utility/

3- Download a caldata backup, for instance:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/uygtjgkmnnl/caldata
Copy it to a USB stick and put it in your router.

3- Run the following command:
Code:
telnetenable 192.168.1.1 FFFFFFFFFFFF Gearguy Geardo
If your MAC address is fine, then replace FFFFFFFFFFFF with your router's MAC address. You can find it under admin menu, or by running "arp -a"

4- Run the following command:
Code:
telnet 192.168.1.1
Now you shold be logged in.

5- Run the following commands:
Code:
cp /mnt/sda1/caldata /tmp
cd /tmp
mtd unlock caldata
mtd -r write caldata caldata

6- The router will reboot and you will have 2.4 and 5ghz back again. You can upgrade to 1.0.4.55 or .68 if you want.
I upgraded to .55, as there were some complaints on .68. I tried DDWRT as I desparately needed port translation (which is ridiculous that stock firmware does not have this feature). However, I will now wait until a stable release comes.


When I get to the part when I have to upload the new/backed up caldata, I get this message:

root@WNDR3700:/# cp /mnt/sda4/caldata /tmp
cp: cannot stat '/mnt/sda4/caldata': No such file or directory

I've looked everywere but can't seem to find out why it isn't working.
Some pages back i've read something about someone having to replace 'sda4' with 'sda1'. But that didn't help for me.
Does anyone know another solution?
Thanks in advance

Do you have the caldata saved on your USB drive, mounted to router, at /mnt/sda1/caldata ? or somewhere else ?

Thanks for replying,

I've stored the caldata on a USB drive, thats plugged into the router.
The file is called 'boardconfig.bin'. Should I rename it to 'caldata'?
I don't know much about this, but does 'sda1' stand for the location of the USB drive? And is there a command to list all attached devices/usb-drives?

PostPosted: Wed Aug 24, 2016 19:23    Post subject: Enable JFFS Reply with quote
I have the latest DD-WRT firmware suggested in the wiki installed on my WNDR3700v1 but am disappointed that there is no JFFS option under Administration.

After banging my head against the wall for a few weeks now, I think this is due to the fact that this is a generic build and JFFS isn't included because most routers only have 4mb of flash and JFFS needs at least 8mb. But the WNDR3700v1 has 8mb of flash so I should be able to use it right? I formatted a thumb drive to ext4 and plugged that into the USB port, but would prefer to use the built in flash for JFFS over the slower thumb drive if possible (plus I'm not entirely sure how to use JFFS on the thumb drive either). Can I enable this from the command line? Or do I have to compile my own version of DD-WRT (which I have zero idea how to do)?

Obviously I'm a novice 'nixer but have a basic understanding, any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry if this is in this 200+ page thread but I CANNOT find the search thread option on this forum (and its driving me crazy)Sad
