b27 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I will walk through the steps I was just going through. I had my wireless router at home set to 192.168.2.1, and I was flashing the Open-Mesh router at the same time over the ethernet port on my laptop. While still flashing the Open-Mesh router (which by the way listens on 192.168.0.1 while flashing :(), I changed my wireless router to 192.168.0.1 to solve some problems I had been having. After some time, the flashing utility started to use a lot of my CPU, around 50%. After a bit it displayed: "stderr:No RedBoot prompt. Exit in line 428" and then it stopped moving forward. Knowing that it wasn't moving I impulsively closed the utility, and while I did so I realized how stupid that is to do :( I now get the above error whenever I try to flash it, whether I am connected to my home wireless router or not. Is the Open-Mesh router bricked? If so, will making a serial cable allow me to get it to a usable/ flash-able state? :/ I feel like such a fool.

Netshroud Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Try disconnecting from the wireless, then try to connect to redboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b27 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Try disconnecting from the wireless, then try to connect to redboot. I tried that before and it didn't work. It did this time though. Do I know why? No. Do I care right now? No. :) Much thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Don't worry, it's very hard to brick the router beyond all hope, just use a serial cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
