I have posted part of mine ... here's the full screenshot.
Can the board version be responsible - or did I blunder somewhere?? Got to try this out once again...

That was pretty clear since the beginning. Read the whole thread. You have version 30, he has the 20. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)

I know what I am doing, and I also know what my board is. And I do read both the lines and between the lines (At least I am the one putting my router to the test.)
This build also works with the xxxx30 board. I think I have some idea where to locate the issue... but that's WIP.
As of now, I have both bands running on this version and checking the other functions.
dd-wrt still sees this as the R7000P.
I will post update on the official build page once I have the results clear.
There will be proper R6400V2 builds published this weekend.
Already fixed the detection and added a few improvements and currently testing it. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

My goodness, I missed a few postings here. Thanks to all who have kept pushing on this (das ist der Wahnsinn, to throw a little German in). I’ll be testing this for sure, especially with the improved model detection in it.
If anyone has trouble getting the stock firmware to install again... you might have to load a hex editor and open the Netgear firmware and adjust the board ID to the one your router has... I haven’t checked lately but the one that Netgear posted as a download for the v2 actually was the same file as the v1 version (ID ending in 00, which did not work for my v2).

Already committed a change that accepts T00. I just checked netgear fw page an itseems like they use T00 for all of these models. Thus they have a unified fw for R6400v1/R6400v2/R6700v3. Does anyone have the boardid from the R6700v3 at hand?
This also meas, we do not need different chk files for the R6400v1/R6400v2/R6700v3, we just need to use T00 header for all of them. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Strange, because I loaded the Netgear firmware over serial connection after I bricked my v2 and it would not accept the 00 firmware (unless it was some freaky coincidence). It flashed without a problem after I changed the header to 30.

TFTP proably does not accept it, as netgears broadcom cfe checks the header to the one burned in flash. But firmware can do whatever it wants. But anyways this is really shitty, as netgear only offers T00 chks. I downloaded all of them today. Means, if you want to tftp factory fw you can't unless you know that you have to modify the header. I guess offering different chk's won't be as confusing, and inside it doesn't matter, we can just accept the T00 and it is the same netgear fw anyways. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/
