Nighthawk mr2100 - stuck on factory reset
Hi,
I did start a factory reset as which the device stuck at rebooting. Only 2 out of 4 dots and it red flash's for the next eternity.
During the process no interaction or interruption on my side with it. But now at all booting attempts it reaches 2 dots and no further anymore.
Would like to know if it has a corrupted flash and if it can be fresh-flashed.

Same thing exactly happened to me. Did you ever find a way to restore it?

Unfortunatly not!
Despite the similar or identical problems some customers have, authorities aren't any helpful as "try booting without sim".
You can boot your device in a "flash mode" on which it awaits a firmware. As long as a drive and firmware to flash is missing, no progress I guess.
