R8000P V1.4.1.50 Update workaround
Hello All Infuriated R8000P Owners, Ok I found out a solution to the V1.4.1.50 "Lock-Down" as I call it. I too was not able to install updates through, Automatic Update, Manual Update Upload, or...
HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!!!!! THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!
For me, the timings were completely different than what you said.
Here are the steps that I took that worked for me:
- Turn off the router
- Execute the code "nmrpflash.exe -i PORT -f .0.chk"
- Turn on the Router
- Once the Orange light comes on, press the Reset button
- The upload should do its thing.

Which command did you issue when you got that response?
Sorry thats on the Ping command. I can get the other stuff to almost work, but it seems to always timeout, probably just a timing issue on my end.

OK. Always helps to hgave details.
Your analysis sounds right. But maybe one of the people who has done this can confirm that. Fortunately, TFTP has been good enough for me. But I wasn't working with a dead router.
