Hi List,<br>
<br>
finally I managed to flash the OpenWRT firmware to the Linksys E1700
router.<br>
The problem is, that starting with Linksys firmware revision 1.0.01
and above the firmware upgrade process aborts with "incorrect
Firmware" when trying to upload the OpenWRT firmware.<br>
<br>
I googled around and finally got a hit in a dd-wrt thread
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=277324&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30">https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=277324&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30</a>)<br>
<br>
So I downloaded the initial Linksys FW version 1.0.00 (get
FW_E1700_v1.0.00.081_20131220.bin at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://db.tt/m95cTvHq">https://db.tt/m95cTvHq</a>) and
downgraded the E1700 from FW 1.0.02 (which my device was shipped) to
1.0.00.<br>
<br>
Then it accepted the OpenWRT firmware without troubles.<br>
<br>
Many thanks to you all for this exciting piece of software!<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
-Andreas.<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear list members,
I'm coming to you with an installation problem on my brand new Linksys
E1700 devices, but I think this is the right forum for this. Also
because the WIKI entries for the E1700 router tells to report a working
device - which unfortunately is not the case...
I tried it with uploading the OpenWRT firmware via the origina Linksys
Web-Interface, but after 15% it states "Incorrect Firmware". Only an OK
button, no ignore or something else.
Then I fiddled around with tftp/tftpd, but it seems that this device
doesn't send tftp requests when booting, nor when reset-button is
pressed. Also an upload via tftp to the device failed.
The device still is useable, the stock firmware works. Additionally I
tried to upload the original Linksys FW, what worked.
This is the image I tried:

Any ideas highly appreciated....
Many thanks in advance!
