Did I brick it?

Name: Anonymous 2008-01-31 17:26

I've a Buffalo WHR-G54S.  I recently flashed to tomato.  Didn't like it over my old performance.  Before deciding to go back to the original fw I decided to do a hard reset of the router - big mistake.  Long story short, I have no way to connect to my router IP that I know of in order to copy over the unencrypted original files, every time I try to access the IP it times out.

What should I do now?

Find out its IP address.

arpwatch, nmap, the possibilities are endless.

nmap shows that 192.168.11.1 is up.

I tried using the tomato installer again thinking maybe it deleted the foreign apps.  Nothing happened of course, but it did say the file was successfully transferred, which leads me to believe that there is a way to transfer shit over.

What utility do I use to flash over the unencrypted buffalo firmware?

what i mean is: what do i use to write the firmware to the router memory?

Stop fucking around with your router unless you know what you're doing.

I had to fuck around with it.  It was there.  How else am I going to learn?

by not bricking the damned thing, obviously.

OK, I manage to put the unencrypted binary file on, but afterwards (even in the same net) I cannot acquire an address or ping the router... what the flying fuck?  What's more is that in order to even PUT the files I have to hold reset while plugging the damn thing in.  Oh the fuck well, after rebates it was $25.  Just post here if you have any ideas what else I can try short of opening the bitch up and shorting a couple pins.

Sage because no one really cares and there's this /b/tarded atmosphere permeating all of 4ailchan lately.

Butthurt because we have no patience for people who screw themselves over and then expect us to clean up the mess?

Don't change these.
