Unable to get r7000 into reset mode to re-flash bios to OEM from DD-WRT
Have a r7000-AC1700 that curently has DD_WRT on it and I am trying to flash it back to the original OEM initial release of Netgear BIOS
I am unable to get the R7000/AC1900 to go into reset to allow for a TFTP file transfer to flash the firmware
R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.0.96
also have tried others
When trying from the GUI and using the initial release version it fails so I am trying to force the flash
I have watched several videos and methods on how to get into reset mode but none work
1- Hold the reset for 30sec and wait for the power light to start to flash - just stick in a reboot cycle
2- Hold the reset for 30sec then pull power wait 30sec and power back - same result
With the DD-WRT I can use the router without issue, just need to get back to OEM OS to upgrade and flash to Tomato
Any thoughts?

I'd ask on the dd-wrt forum. They're the experts on their firmware and how best to remove it without bricking your device.
Since there is no back to stock firmware listed this may mean that Brainslayer has added code to reinstall Netgear firmware. Have you tried to install a Netgear firmware?
2 Years ago I wound up having to use a serial to USB cable to reinstall Netgear firmware. I never got tftp to work to get back to Netgear. Yes I have successfully used tftp when the firmware was Netgear, to answer those that ask have you ever successffully done a tftp. ;)
Thanks for the response, I get posting on the dd-wrt forum, but the issue is that the r7000 will not go into reset mode.I cant get the power light to blink orange.
That is the real issue.
have you tried nmrpflash?
