You might need to try tftp to recovery it.

Heya,
I have the same problem, recently got a 2nd hand RBK50 set to upgrade from my perfectly good RBR40.
When powered up both the RBR50 and RBS50 have solid green power LED, and soild white ring lights.
I'm concentrating on the RBR50 for now to get that running first, I've tried a factory reset, a 30-30-30 reset and flashing the firmware back to v2.2.1.212 over TFTP (this fails halfway through the upload).
After all this I now have a flashing green power led and a solid white ring on top of the RBR50, and a deep sense of frustration!
Not sure where to go from here??
