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?

    Could you please instead try attaching it rather than pasting it in?

      It's just an image of the message "This R-App is not loaded yet, please try again in a minute." (now attached)

       

      Hitting okay refreshes the page and displays the same message.

        When this error occurs, it is almost always resolved by a reboot, so reboot then wait 2 minutes before trying to access and see if it loads then
