D-link Dir-3040 flashing problem

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to flash OpenWrt on a D-Link DIR-3040 Revision A1 (CA version).

What I’ve tried:

  1. Emergency Recovery Mode: I can get the flashing orange light and access the recovery page at 192.168.0.1.
    Web UI Upload: Attempted to upload the recovery image. The browser usually times out after the upload.
  2. CLI Push: Used curl -v -i -F "firmware=@firmware.bin" 192.168.0.1. The terminal returns HTTP/1.0 200 OK and the HTML response says "Upgrade successfully!".
  3. The Result: Even after the "Success" message, the router stays in a flashing orange light state indefinitely (waited 20+ mins). After a manual power cycle, it just boots back into the original D-Link stock firmware.

I'll start by saying that I don't have this router.

Have you read this?

“NOTE: Seems to only work in Firefox on Windows.
Tried with Chrome on Windows, Firefox in Linux, and Chromium in Linux.
None of these other browsers worked.”
