I tried to update a WNDR3400 that I installed dd-wrt on with a firmware update. However once I tried to reboot, the power light remained solid amber and did not change. I cannot ping to the router for more than 2 seconds each time I reboot the router. I've tried to 30/30/30 and tftp and neither of those worked. Am I SOL?

Recovering from a bad flash is going to require some tinkering:

On the bright side, you don't have to do any soldering to recover this one.
