EDIT: problem solved without opening the router! See https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 29#p133829

First of all let me congratulate for the really great community around this project.
Then let me say that I'm a retarded n00b
I'm a complete newbie about Openwrt, but I decided to buy this router and test it. I tried to flash it with the image found at:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/1 … actory.bin
as from instructions, and it worked (web interface LUCI a little buggy, though). BUT, since I'm an idiot, I couldn't resist trying to build my own image with the procedure at:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/obtai … e.generate
After the flashing procedure, the router is, OF COURSE, dead. I tried to reset it and the generic failsafe procedure, both failed. Now if I turn on the router, the SYS led keeps blinking, but I cannot access it anymore through the network interface.
I gave a look at the unbricking procedure and searched on the forum, and I've found a TON of stuff to read. Being a novice, all this results in an overwhelming amount of information to handle.
Begging: could please someone give me some direction to start with? I promise I will be more careful next time, but I really cannot afford right now to read all that stuff in a single time!
Thanks in advance!
