Hi,

I had the same issue and it took me a long time to work it out. It turned out that you have to use Putty and the right TTL RS-232 USB-RS232 adapter and the CTRL_C will work then and you should ...

Is there a small K3.x build for the initial flash (8M) just to get the K3.x firmware on?

I followed the instructions in that link and bricked the router so many times and had to JTAG it back to life Sad

How long did you wait for the router to reboot after flashing?

I suspect the CFE ...

I had the exact same problem Sad

These 2 firmwares work with no issues:

tomato-Netgear-R6300V1_RT-AC6x--138-AIO-64K.chk

Thanks for your replay.

I followed that wiki and every other method but always ended up with a bricked router. I'm curious to know how other people could upgrade it to K3.0.

I could flash it with K2.6 but anything higher (eg K3.0) would brick it Sad

I have tried ALL of the above (including tftp, tftp2, CFE NVRAM Erase, etc) without success. The router went into an endless reboot with a solid amber light Sad

So far ALL of the Kong V3 (K3.X) both *.chk an *.bin (updated from dd-wrt.v24-K26) versions including (initial flash versions) resulted in a BRICKED R6300V1 router (CFE = 1.0.2) using the Web GUI.

I just tried flashing the dd-wrt.v24-K26_R6300_19-10-2012.chk and it worked OK.

But it would not let me upgrade to the K3.x firmware I wanted.

I tried the recommended built in the WikiDev page and a few other versions and they all bricked the two routers I have. All Tomato firmwares worked the first time so there must be something wrong with ...
