Hi ,
I have flashed my NetgearWGR614L with OpenWRT"Bleeding Age" firmware .... It was working OK ...
I changed some configuration files (/etc/config/wireless, /etc/config/network & /etc/config/firewall) and rebooted the board ... it was OK ... Idid this sequence several times but after few times my board suddenly crashed while rebooting and now I
am not able to boot it again ....
I have seen several posts regarding this issue on this site but I am not able to find out the main cause behind this ..
As far as this firmware is concerned ... I have tested it several times and it was working OK ...
Could anybody plz help me in this regard,
At the moment we are not sure what is causing this issue! If you have a log of the console when this happened that would shed some light on the issue. As yet its not happened to me, but I guess thats only going to be a matter of time...
Hi ,
This is what I got at console ; I edited the file /etc/config/wireless in the last and then rebooted the board .

Hmmmmm, well there is nothing in that trace that gives away any information what so ever...
I suggest you go an get Tjtag3 and a suitable cable (instructions are in the download). You should be able to use the JTAG to re-flash the bootloader. (I have taken a copy of the bootloader from a working board if you need it; WW version, CFE 1.3)
What would be great is if you could take a copy of the broken bootloader (and anyone else reading this). That way we can try and figure out what exactly happened. My guess is that either the sflash driver or jffs2 code has gone wrong; causing stuff to be written into the wrong point in memory. A copy of the broken bootloader would confirm this (do a binary diff between it and the original and see if a jffs2 block has appeared).
You are now the third person to suffer this problem; so I have just parted with some money on ebay to get hold of a wiggler cable (was about a fiver).
