So when I go to my router I get this "http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci" I have to pull a DD-wrt page from history to get to it. This was my flash path
Stock (out of the box)
DD-wrt
OpenWRT
30-30-30 reset (Actually 40-40-40 before it worked)
stock (though still with the luci page loading first)
flashed latest stock from linksys (still luci)
flashed DD-wrt (still luci) (and here we are)
I can SSH in, and access the full setup of DD-wrt.

You might want to take a look at the Two sticky's at the top of the forum page.
The second sticky, the very first statement is "(First and most important: never do a ‘Hard Reset’ aka 30/30/30!. It's unnecessary and you can harm your router.)"
There is also good info on how to telnet & ssh to your router, as well as how to switch partitions.
Have you tried to switch to the second partition. ??
Edit:
You can try to switch to the second partition and flash the latest version of DD-Wrt, if that works then load the stock firmware from within the DD-Wrt GUI and try to flash.
Good luck, Mark _________________ ISP: Charter

It's a good thing these newer routers are pretty much indestructible.
Back in the day doing that stuff blind, without doing a little reading could make you a high tech brick.
Thank god you can blindly thrash these things and still recover lol.
I couldn't agree more aarion, I can sill remember flashing my first 54g like it was yesterday, I read up and read it again and then once more just to make sure I was doing it correctly.
And still managed to brick one, but with a little perseverance and reading and reading some more found that by cycling the power at the time of flashing, I was able to kick it in the ass to flash and recover.
Even flashing computer bios's chips I still cringe because shit can Happen!!! and I have been doing that for over twenty years _________________ ISP: Charter

How true. Remember thinking I had bricked a wrt54g (not gl). Back then it was open it up and short pins together and hope. Was always able to recover, but sure was a lot of crossed fingers and toes. Today with the serial interfaces folks have it easy. Especially if they will read the howto threads, minus the 30/30/30 reset thread of course. _________________ Unifi Security Gateway:Unifi Firmware Netgear r7800:Voxel Firmware Modem:Netgear CM500V voice and Data.
