XR700 Bricked!
All of a sudden, my router admin page started to display this (on firmware v1.0.1.48)
Thinking a factory reset would solve this, I went through the steps and was able to get through the wizard but once everything was set up the same screen keeps popping up. This means I am unable to configure any settings past the initial wizard. This occurs regardless of which browser I use (chrome, edge, safari, etc.)
My next step was to TFTP and try old firmware, but that won't even flash. I even tried XR700-V1.0.1.34_Duaos3.0_6.img and that doesn't work. In all cases, I can get the file to transfer (the bytes transferred matches the file size) but the router won't boot. I can flash the router to 1.0.1.48 again, but the R-App error shows up. My router is now unusable!
Does anyone know a fix for this?

Unfortunately I can't see the image you've pasted as it's not been moderated yet.
Could you please instead try attaching it rather than pasting it in?
