I win

In my frustration with routers and some tinkering I've tried to improve on the workings of the devices and in that endeavor I recently managed to kill my WRT54G-V5.  This is a pretty popular router for modding, so I was convinced that I could recover it.  I soldered on a jumper so I could attach a JTAG and work to recover it.  This was about a month ago and I wasn't having any kind of luck.  The JTAG interface is desperately slow and I wasn't completely sure what I was doing, but I was reading and didn't have much to lose.  I'd attempted multiple flashes and erasing of firmwares, OEM and custom, all to no avail.  I'd let the thing load up the firmware only to find it still staring back at me doing NOTHING. Kept reading/researching.  So after taking some time away from the thing, I today went back to work and was able to recover the device and get it working back to the state I wanted it in in the first place; IE custom firmware.

I win!

Next project: NAS, and maybe I'll finish the homemade digital picture frame, also I've got to try that external Rx.  I've got a list, believe me I've got a list!
