Flashing issue R6220
Hello Community - I have some issues with router R6220
I have flashed it to operWRT and then I've tried to do the same to ddWRT with .img file but it failed.
It hang during the flashing process after 2h I restarted the router and it keeps restarting every 10 seconds now
- no access via console/web - and address 192.168.1.1 is not pingable
I tried to perform a factory reset keep reset for over 10 seconds and the second and third led start flashing however still no access.
I've tried with tftpd and with nmrpflash no luck no access to the device at all. Is tere any way to upgrade or recover it from USB? or any other thoughts?
I believe in your power thank you.

You need to contact openwrt or ddwrt forums for help with their firmware.
Its 3rd party firmware and they're the experts on it.
- sadly its the risk you take when flashing 3rd party firmware. You might brick your device and the forums on there warn you have that.

I agree with this.Move your firmware file to the same directory as nmrpflash.exe
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges.
Switch to the directory where nmrpflash.exe and your firmware file are located. For example, if they are in a folder called flash on your Desktop, run the following command: cd C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\Desktop\flash
Turn off the router, and connect it your computer using a network cable.
In the command prompt, run nmrpflash -L.
You'll get a list of network interfaces, named netX. Identify your Ethernet connection, for example net3.
Run nmrpflash -i net3 -f "YOUR FIRMWARE FILE NAME"
Turn on the router, and flashing should commence.
