How to unbrick the Nighthawk R7000 using OS X and TFTP
Hi,
After spending a night on unbricking my R7000 and how I struggled to work with all the manuals out there but none of them actually worked. I thought I should share what actually worked for ...
HOLY COW IT WORKED!!!
nmrpflash worked!!! Switching to a Static IP address and turning my Wifi off did the trick!!
Also, recommend using -vvv to double check when it works. Took me two tries to nail the timing because the router has to finish restarting for the packet transfer to begin before the command times out.
Hi guys, fantastic summary. It works perfectly until the very last point. When i type put _ name of the file after few second i receive the message "transfer timed out".
The shell with the ping repietely have the following lines:
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1874
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1875
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1876

Request timeout for icmp_seq 1886

anyone would be able to advise how i can get the last step done? it seems to me that the router keeps rebooting so that there is no enough time to transfer the new firmware?
