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.
Did you find any resolution to this? I am running into the same issue and my router is in a constant restart loop.
Did not. At this point I’m just gonna toss it in the trash can
- That’s exactly what I did. Tossed it out
I finally managed to fix mine. Used the other method nmpr flash method.
https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflashSuper silly question coming from someone who is not well versed with terminal (or any coding)... how do I actually install nmrpflash? I downloaded it for Mac OS, navigated to the directory where it's at in Terminal, but then typing "nmrpflash -L" gives me nothing...
-->xxxxxx:~/Downloads$ nmrpflash -L
-bash: nmrpflash: command not found
