I'm convinced that some revisions of the Asus RT-AC3200 have a fatal flaw in that there is an issue where it can become irreversibly bricked and the recovery mode won't help.
As such, I'm considering desoldering the flash chip from it and have it sent to someone for external flashing.
Now my question is the following:
Asus firmwares are offered as 40mb or so .trx file.
The latest one for example is:
"RT-AC3200_3.0.0.4_382_19466-g27029b5.trx"
The flash chip is the 128MB Spansion/Cypress S34ML01G100TFI00.
Now the question is, does the process just involve flashing said chip with the .trx file (and perhaps padding it to 128MB if required), or will this only work if the CFE is first flashed onto the chip and then the .trx manually uploaded?
And if the latter is the case, can someone please provide me with a raw dump of their RT-AC3200 so that I can do it as I intend?
Thanks
P.S. Does anyone know someone with a flashing device capable of flashing the Spansion chip who would be willing to do so?
