Corrupt Entries in Board Configuration

I think I had a bad flash with a new firmware. I connected a serial cable and booted the router. Now, It would not take new firmware because of a corrupted board hardware ID. A previous post in this forum explained how to change the values. Also, I have placed this post as a reply to that thread. I went into the serial console and found all the entries with a value of yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I reset all of the values and got the original firmware back on the router. Now, in the GUI the WPS section is grayed out. I have no wireless. When you check the boxes to turn it on and hit apply, the boxes change back to unchecked. The wifi and the wps button on the front of the router do not work. Does anyone have an idea of what is going on?
