Hi

I have an Ambit 255, i followed laymans guide to flashing and i can't flash Haxorware Rev 39. When i select the Haxorware firmware when flashing it says TFTP time out a few times and then nothing. Then when i next boot its back to the original firmware. Tried some older ones too and it wont do. Anyone know why?

Is there any other firmware i can flash aswell?

Did you set your NIC to Static IP? The IP settings should be as follows:

Quote:

IP Address: 192.168.100.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (this should fill itself in when you click it)
Default Gateway: 192.168.100.1

Once you have these settings, proceed with the Layman's guide again and it should work for you.

search google you will find what you need

Are you using Solarwinds or TFTPD32? I recommend TFTPD32 as I find it easier to use, you may not but that's just my opinion. Also, I find it easier to rename the Haxorware file to haxorware.bin so you can easily find it and type the file name in the console.

I was using TFTPD but it wouldn't work so i then tried Solarwinds and Hyper terminal and it did the trick, but i ended up bricking it i think. The only lights that are on now are power and enet is there any way i can un brick it.
