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.
Wow, i was trying to unbrick my router and came across this. The other solutions i found needed a client that is not compatible with newer versions of MacOS. This has very clear istructions one can follow. One thing i noticed was that while trying to ping, i only got 'Request timeout' message. However there was no problem in connecting and uploading the firmware. Thanks a lot
