NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 auto-update freezing issue

I saw some posts which had been same issue I met.

And tried many solutions which were told by someone.

But it never worked at all.

But I found this post.

And it helped me to restore my device.

But, that steps are little different to enter firmware download mode. (I am not sure my way already described somewhere, but I am tired to check)

To start firmware download, skip putty steps in above solution.

When see update screen press power button and push reset button together and wait more than 10 seconds.

The LED light will flashing for several seconds, don't release those buttons until you see "start download screen".

And following steps to upload firmware.

(You will see same freezing steps, but don't touch anything and wait until reboot).

I hope you save your money by restoring M1.
