I have also a new WRT3200ACM device and cant install any third party firmware. I bought a TTL-usb cable to see what happens when flashing the device. I do not get wiser of that. Is there maybe someone that can give remote support to get it to work? Kind Regards, Matthijs

we should check the mtd layout before and after flashing new factory firmware.
since wrt32X is a wrt3200acm with a differnt mtd map, and people surmise that the newly-announced wrrt32B is a wrt32X with slightly differnt firmware, i'm wondering if linksys is moving the mtd map now. this is obviously speculation.
i will not be able to do serial access on my wrt3200/wrt32x until next week. i will report back.
This is exactly the same issue I'm having with a Brand New 3200ACM.
In summary; I have attempted to load several different builds using the factory-to-ddwrt with no success. I also attempted downgrading the factory firmware which caused the router to fail to fully boot, it would just sit with the ethernet1 port illuminated. After switching it on and off 3 times it booted back into the factory linksys fw.
Now at a complete loss of what to try next, short of cracking it open but I'd prefer not to do this.
I'm close to returning it to Amazon but not sure whether to purchase another and take my chances or to go for something else altogether.

After hearing about so many folks having problems flashing, I tried flashed my 3200acm on FW # 1.0.6.186168 to factory-to-ddwrt FW# r 34315 with the UI and had no problem.
With all the complaints I have been reading about, I'm becoming a little gun shy doing any flashing! _________________ ISP: Charter

Been flashing the crap out of this wrt3200acm for well over a year.
I made every mistake humanly possible and haven't figured out any way to Fuck it up yet.
So if your's isn't flashing, it's probably defective and you need to get a RMA. _________________ WRT3200ACM

key word: over a year
were talking about the new hardware that has changed nand manufacturer
So if I can't load dd-wrt I need to return my router?
return it and get anything else. stay away from Linksys. just my opinion. _________________ My "WRT" rant, and why I have gone ddwrt on x86, no more consumer routers. ( ac86u as access points & bridges )

Do yourself a favor and return and get a Netgear r7800 or r8000. Cannot wait to get my r8000 (Wednesday) so I can decommission the wrt3200.

sry Bill,
I had big hopes too for the WRT series. But like my wife said, "hope" is different from "proven".
fyi--> I let her take a hammer to my WRT3200, she was as frustrated with poor internet then I was _________________ My "WRT" rant, and why I have gone ddwrt on x86, no more consumer routers. ( ac86u as access points & bridges )
