How to unbrick a netgear wnr-3500l v2 without serial ttl cable


Yesterday i flashed my wnr3500l v2's firmware but something went wrong. Al i got was an amber led. The router was bricked. When i pinged the device i got host unreachable but when i pressed the reset button for 30 seconds i got maybe 4 replies but after that destination unreachable. I tried to flash the firmware back to the device with a tftp client without results

I don have a serial TTL cable but i managed to unbrick it without it.

Making a DIY thermal camera based on a Raspberry Pi

Hi everyone!

Winter has arrived, and so I had to check the thermal insulation of my out of town residence dacha. And it just turned out a famous Chinese marketplace started to sell cheap thermal camera modules. So I decided to DIY it up and build a rather exotic and useful thing — a heat visor for the home. Why not? Especially since I had a Raspberry Pi lying around anyway… The result is down below.

How to play music (mp3) on the alcatel 1066 & 1066d and use the media player


I would like to use the alcatel 1066 as a media player. According to the manual this is possible and the phone supports the mp3 format. This is not true. When i copy mp3's to the sdcard in the "My Music" folder and try to play them with the media player the phone says unsupported format. I tried different mp3 formats without success.
