Ok guys, u asked for it..

mediafire link for the factory image for OpenWrt is up.

OpenWrt

need someone with a V1 TL-MR3420, stock firmware, to test it.. but, as always, its at ur own risk..

follow guide on 1st post to flash to OpenWrt -> then login, set a password ->go to network -> Interfaces-> edit wan-> change protocol to umts->the rest u should already know..

get openwrt, or die trying...

ok, dont worry i volunteer to test it,

i will post result, wish me luck guys 

good luck, do post ur outcome.. whether its good or bad..

     

WOW it works,

super smooth as butter,

i flash back to stock firmware first, then direct flash the image you guys built,

wow, no need to add any packages, can direct dial, 

let me post and modify my first post

thank god..    thought i need to buy u teh tarik + canai if ur router brick.. 

thats just the AA image.. i'm gonna try with the trunk image tomorrow..

any different between AA and TRunk image ?

i notice there is a few new packages is ready installed too ,..
here everything

just newer packages i think.. probably the RTM for AA..

i made the image with default profile, just like from the normal download from openwrt site.. plus added the luci interface that got ibnuasad stuck.. and nano, so we could edit files via ssh in the event of a softbrick...

oh, that's the new packages i notice just now,

one more thing, i just want to ask how could we retrieve Micro sd card in the modem slot while we plug it in our openwrt now, any idea ? 

that relates to usb storage and samba i think, but, TL-MR3420 flash memory is too small.. just 4MB, not enough room for all packages for 3g connectivity and usb storage+samba..

some tried using powered usb hub and connects modem, usb storage.. but that just complicates the setup.. me also    wanna do usb storage on 3420..

yeah pity is 4MB only, otherwise would be amazing router for sure yet price is cheap

just update the first post under you and Ibnuasad credit

i will try to do a new video tutor for it soon and upload it there

really appreciate you guys hard work

hope ibnuasad V1 router recover soon 

i'm waiting for his reply.. got an idea for him to rescue his router.. images compiled doesn't include web interface.. need to add it in time of compiling..

now no need add package on latest version OpenWRT. more convenience and no need download package. yahoo

look forward Chuahcs post video how to install openwrt.

probably.. from his compile log, i saw some errors in compiling.. probably contributing to his soft brick.. gonna have to wait for him..

step by step posted with the firmware they compile on first post,

after flash update, plug in your modem and set a few thing on the GUI and u are good to go

tonight my upload speed super low when i need to upload the video to youtube 

lame for sure

really big thanks to him as well from these ready made image     

true.. he is the kick-starter.. if he didn't provide the image he got, i wouldn't be able to compile it..\
mine always corrupted..

Excellent    Will try it on my other v1.3 router later 

khairilyazit, my router still cannot go to webgui. When turn on the router, all led will light up at once for 1 second but after that, only PWR & LAN# light up. SYS led does not light up. Any ideas to debrick without serial cable?

On many routers, including the Asus WL-500g Premium v1 that I use, you flash an image by disconnecting power, press and hold down the reset button, and connect the power again. Wait a few seconds and the PWR LED will start to blink. Release the reset button. The device will now have a TFTP server running on 192.168.1.1.

You’ll have to use a Ethernet cable at this point. Connect it to LAN1-LAN4, not WAN. Configure your local machine on the 192.168.1.x/24 network, for example as 192.168.1.42. The router will use 192.168.1.1.

Wait one minute and restart the box by disconnecting and reconnecting power. Some documentations claim that the device should restart by itself but I have never seen this happen, no matter how long I wait.

did u try setting to static ip 1st?
if can, then u can telnet or ssh to the client..

but since ur sys led didn't lit up.. i'm afraid it may really be bricked..

i read the wiki page.. seems like u need a serial to debrick. cause its a hard brick..

u could try set to static ip and see if the router responds.. if it responds, use telnet or ssh  to login then install luci..
make sure to connect a network to the wan port for internet..

or u could try this..
tftp
