R7000 Bricked after 1.0.7.6_1.1.99 firmware
My R7000 never booted back up after the 1.0.7.6 firmware update that I initiated trough the router web portal yesterday. I thought it was still updating when I didn't get a response after 30 or so mi...
Yes finely after a couple of time i fix the problem and the router is working again;)
C:\>tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put R7000-V1.0.7.6_1.1.99.chk
Transfer successful: 27975738 bytes in 25 second(s), 1119029 bytes/sWith the cable it fix the router for me;)

Max_F If you can still ping the router, I suggest that you try to follow the steps from this link or try another TFTP client.
However, if you cannot ping the router anymore I suggest that you contact support to get an RMA.

Thank you for the suggestion Elaine! Yes, I'd tried with multiple. Unfortunately neither tftp, tftp2 nor tftpd64/32 made any difference. Strangest thing is that the router is still pingable and gives a perpetual TTL=100 response so I'm assuming I would need to break the loop with a jtag-cable if I've read the "unbrick your r7000" posts correctly. As I've said before the fix seems easy enough but would void my warranty. I'm waiting for a replacement unit right now but still have the old one sitting ready to be shipped if anyone has any commands they would like me to pass to it in hopes of reviving it.
You're welcome!
