Hello, I have a Linksys EA8500 I'm trying to load OpenWRT on. It is running 1.1.7.182977 and 1.1.8.185832 in memory (you can switch between images), and apparently these prohibit downgrading to a version that allows flashing OpenWRT from the web GUI.
I bought a few USB to TTL CH340 serial adapters and hooked one up properly from what I understand. 8-1-N-N at 115200... I'm unable to halt boot on "Hit any key to stop autoboot" as it goes from 3 to 1. I've tried putty and a few other programs.
This was a model 308.01827.205 so I didn't have to solder pins on it...so I don't think I could have damaged the serial interface.
Any ideas on what to try or how to get OpenWRT on it from this point?
