What's the difference between Kong's builds and official builds?
See the link to Kong's readme here.

Also I'm going to flash the V2 using the serial method soon, so do I need to go from official to Kong's, or can I go straight to Kong's?
Doesn't matter, but read the build threads.

I also flashed DD-WRT r35916 to my EA6350 v2 sucessfully via serial port as in mengalva's post.

Some notes:
  • Opening the casing: I followed butterworth's post.
    However, if opened carefully then the latches won't break.
  • Connecting to Rx/Tx: the pinout diagram is here https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_EA6350_v2
    However, I'm so lazy to figure it out so I just anyhow connect the Tx & Rx, if there is no output in putty then I just swap the Tx/Rx (but the GND pin must be correctly connected - do not connect Tx or Rx to GND)
    jcvcms mentioned that it's not possible to load in new version of DD-WRT via web control panel, so probably I will leave the dupont cables there and glue the other ends of the cable to some openings on the casing, so that I can quickly connect the serial cable and update the firmware in the future without opeing the casing again.
  • I need to restore DD-WRT factory setting so that the ethernet port can work.

You don’t have a netgear r6350 router. Yours is Atheros not Broadcom. The process for it may be different but seeing your Mac numbers all F’s isn’t good.

the base mac address (mac0) is still there 60 38 e0 xx xx 2b, and usually the other mac addresses will be counting up from there (i.e. mac1 is xxxxxxxxxx2c, mac2 is xxxxxxxxxx2d, mac3 is xxxxxxxxxx2e - and actually your mac2 and mac3 are still there for you to confirm this). so if you can update/write mac0 & mac1 then it should be good.
some people have reported to have issue loading dd-wrt into v3, because v3 use Qualcomm, not Broadcom CPU

I've just updated EA6350 v2 to New Build 36006 (BS): 05-23-2018-r36006 via web GUI (control panel > administration > firmware upgrade)
First attempt: version didn't change, probably because of the dual partition.
2nd attempt: version changed to DD-WRT v3.0-r36006 std (05/23/18). After rebooting, it didn't revert to old version.

I installed dd-wrt r36006 std using the serial flasing method. After aprox 24hs the 2.4 Ghz network disapeared! GUI says interface is up but packet counter shows 0 TX and RX packets. A reboot does NOT fix it.

What version have you been running on EA6350v2? Looks like this r36006 is broken.

I've been running r36006 for more than 5 days without any issue (I also set it to auto reboot every week).
Previously I used r35916 and I encountered some issue with displaying 5GHz info. details here https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1129403

Somehow the old version of DD-WRT appeared after the scheduled reboot, probably I still need to flash the firmware via serial port.

Yes, I believe the only way of flashing EA6350 is by using the serial cable and making sure we flash both partitions.

I'm still running r36006 and I believe the reason for my 2.4Ghz network disapearing was low memory issues. I realized I forgot syslog enabled the first time I configured the router after flashing it.

I'm now running it for over a week without any issues. I do not plan to upgrade to the current release because I dont want to open the router again and use the serial cable... hope this r36006 is stable enough and there are no serious security flaws in it.

you may want to consider leaving the cable there permanently like what I've done https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1128291#1128291
