AC3200 Merlin Firmware issues

[skeal]

Does the non merlin firmware start with 382?

382 changes the boot loader I don't think some models can go back.

I had exactly the same problem. After flashing Merlin and waiting, the 2 end leds (power and internet would light up white. every few minutes the lights in the middle would flash on and the router seemed to reboot. This just kept repeating as though in a boot loop and ould not get to the Merlin GUI. I did get it to boot properly once, after playing about with turning it on and off etc but ended up reflashing the latest stock firmware.
I did try again to flash Merlin with a new download of the firmware but the same thing happened and am now back on stock.
Sorry I can't offer any help other than to say that yours isn't the only case. Could it be something to do with flashing from the latest stock firmware?

Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.382_19466

On your model you will need to wait for a while as @RMerlin has not got that version upgraded yet. The 382 code base changes boot loader you probably cannot go back to 380 code base.

Ah, ok.
Which version of Merlin would you suggest for me?

@biglo if you have the 382 version of firmware stock you have the same problem.

Like I said the new 382 upgrade for merlin firmware is about 1 to 2 months away. That is the only version you can use. Sorry but you have to wait for a while now that you have the new code base stock firmware installed. @biglo same for you.

OK. Now I understand. I was a bit confused but now I follow you.
I'm patient and thanks for your help and hard work
