Wrong Firmware on it how i get it proper
« on: August 13, 2018, 04:00:37 PM »

i have tried different tricks  i read  last one was using firefox  in windows safe mode with networking where it worked  to give me an error saying  wrong hardware ID
i bought this router 20 bucks

the router had  3.15 for C1rev    and i was able to downgrade to 3.10   but the sticker on the router  is a E1  needs 5.10
but when i try  nothiong works

i was going to try ddwrt  and openwrt  on it  and i cant even do that..   i event tried  TFTP command and wont connect

is there a trick to get the right firmware on it

Try this:
Emergency Recovery Mode
If this fails, router is probably bad.

ya I had done that.. that's where it gives me Hardware ID Tag or whatever  error 
but it will downgrade to 3.10  but it wont goto the proper 5.10   it works as a 3.10C1    even though its a E1 version

wanted to put this OpenWRT or DDRWT on it but I cant  just the dlink version  310

I presume once its loaded with the incorrect version, it would take some deeper methods to get it back to Rev E FW. Something we know have information on here in the forums.

Only thing you might try is to modify the Header ID in the FW if you have that knowledge...It could work. I remember someone in the DIR-825 forum mentioning that years ago. Where in that forum, I don't know.  ::)
