Nighthawk MR1100 Frozen on Updating device

Tried to charge my MR1100 this morning and it auto-started an update that has since locked it up.  It has been sitting on the Updating Device, please do not power off for more than 4 hours now.  The SKU for my device is 6420B

    Hi jwschulznc

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Please provide the device SKU (MR1100-xxx). 

    Kindly turn it off, remover battery and SIM card, wait for about a minute, re-insert SIM card and battery, turn device on. 

     

    Regards,

      Hello Blanca,

       

      I pulled the battery and the SIM card, let it sit for over a minute, put the SIM card back in, replaced the battery and powered on, same issue.  It sits at the updating screen and does nothing.  

       

      The line on the sticker inside that says SKU: is 6420B

        Please push the reset button to do a factory reset to see whether your device can be booted up normally.

         

        Thanks

      Blanca_O do you have any other options for me to try on this or is it just dead from doing a update that Netgear pushed down without me asking for it?
