Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2017 22:29 Post subject: WNDR3700v2 cannot upgrade
I used to have a .32 version so I downgraded firmware to .12.
Then I tried to upload wndr3700v2-factory_NA.img at the browser interface. Did not let me, says wrong version or something. So I re-uploaded the .12 original image. I've tried the 30/30/30 even tried tftp of the wndr3700v2-factory_NA.img assuming thats ddwrt. Still same problem.
What is happening, when I tftp the ddwrt img, the router keeps rebooting over and over.
Most likely you will have to find an older wndr3700-factory_NA.img for 1st install.
I don't have the WNDR3700v2 so can't say for sure what might be best..... someone here will know
wndr3700v2-factory-NA.img to WNDR3700v2-FACTORY_NA.img. I dont know if its because of that or because its from 02/2017?? Well, this time it took the img from the browser interface and I didnt have to tftp.
Once it comes back up, I'll see if I can upload the latest version.

good deal -- yea lots changes in last few months
Read 'NEW BUILD' threads before you jump off into something that might be a mess.
I don't know if latest public release worked on your router or not and I'm not going to read thru it all for you.
r33413 worked fine on the WNDR3700v4 but for USB automount ---
-- but the WNDR3700v4 is a completly different unit than the v2 ''''bout like night/day
I spoke too soon. LOL. 02/2017 still reboots constantly. I guess renaming it to all caps let it upload via the browser but the unit keeps crapping out and rebooting.

Try the 33006.
You sure it's a North American router and not EU????
Tried 33006, same problem. This time I did it with 30/30/30 and waited for at least one minute after the last 30. Still same constant rebooting. Very strange.

That did it!! I'm assuming now I can load the latest .bin ?
The old 25279 build is what I used in the wee hours this morning to untangle one of my wndr3700v4 routers after making it a brick with one of BS new releases ... actually my fault cause I didn't check file size ... I should have never attempted the install.
Point is you should keep that build handy.
another oldy I use is 23503 but it didn't work for me this time.
Strange things happen sometimes --- I could not even get a netgear firmware to install ... after 6 differ dd-wrt builds the 25279 worked I just hate to open the box ... so that all ended well for me
