Who will help resurrect ASUS RT-N10 C1?

Question

ASUS

Hello.
Actually the problem with ASUS RT-N10 C1
A friend brought this router, said that he uploaded the dd-wrt firmware and after the reboot the animal died.
Signs:
-Only power is on from the diodes
-The LAN diode does not light up when the patch cord is
connected -IP does not distribute
-If you nail IP 192.168.1.2, then 192.168.1.1 does not ping
-Firmware recovery using the RESET button does not occur
Connected to the animal via the COM port , in PUTTY it only writes:
U-Boot 1.1.3 (Jan 14 2011 - 14:41:20)
Board: Ralink APSoC DRAM: 32 kb
relocate_code Pointer at: 7fb84000
And nothing else happens.
Along the way, the friend killed the bootloader, right?
Tell me how you can resurrect the animal using JTAG?

Answer 1

1. Unplug the router
2. Press and hold the restore switch and plug in power.
3. Keep holding the restore switch until the power light starts to blink on and off.
(1) The router is now in recovery mode
4. Change the ip settings on your computer to:
(1) IP: 192.168.1.xxx(use anything above 1, I like 100)
(2) Subnet: 255.255.255.0
( 3) Gateway: 192.168.1.1
5. Run the recovery program and point it to your .bin file of choice
6. Hit the "upload" button and wait about 2 minutes.
7. Change your IP settings back to DHCP and let it get an address
8. Open a web browse and go to 192.168.1.1 and have fun!
Tried?
Or
Unplug power from the router, wait a few seconds.
Hold in the BLACK (reset) button. Might have to use a pencil, cause it is recessed. Not the red button. Black
While pressing the black button, plug in power. Wait.
Wait until the power LED blinks on & off a couple of times, then release the black button. The power led will continue to blink liek this forever.
On your Windows desktop machine, get to a command line window and cd to a directory with your TRX file.
type this command: tftp.exe -i 192.168.1.1 PUT {filename}, where {filename} is the complete filename of the trx file.
The LAN light on the router will start flashing like mad for about 15 seconds, as tftp is uploading the trx file.
Wait 2 minutes, then pull power & restore power to the router.

Answer 4

Today I fiddled with the Wi-Fi settings, clicked on everything and accidentally bricked the ASUS RT-N10U router. After loading, the router only blinked the power light to infinity. Executed the second instruction from the answer G000N , everything worked. Hooray! Thanks a lot! Here are my steps:
1. Found an old laptop with a network port and Windows
2. Downloaded the *.trx file from the ASUS support site
3. Activated the tftp component in the OS so that the tftp command would work in the terminal.
4. Disabled Wi-Fi on the laptop.
5. Physically connected the laptop to the router with a twisted pair cable. In the router, I used one of the LAN ports (1-4), not WAN. I went into the network settings of the laptop, entered 192.168.1.254 as the IP address, and 255.255.255.0 as the network mask - so the laptop ended up on the same subnet with the router (its IP address is 192.168.1.1).
6. I pressed the reset button on the router with a needle, plugged it into the network, waited until one of the LAN lights came on and the power light started blinking slowly.
7. Ran tftp.exe -i 192.168.1.1 PUT {path/to/downloaded-file}.trx
8. I observed a rapidly blinking LAN light on the router for 15 seconds.
9. I waited a couple of minutes, pulled the router out of the network, waited a few seconds, inserted it again.
10. Rejoiced!
11. Returned the local network settings on the laptop (manually set IP address and subnet mask).
