Nighthawk xr700, DumaOS not loaded yet
Hello, i have recently gotten this message since last Friday and i have tried rolling back the firmware and the other solutions for the XR500 and none have worked for this. I can not set up a wifi ...
user12a Netduma-Fraser I tried your step-by-step solution but for some reason once I enter the command
[ -n "ngmtd" ] && flash_erase /dev/"$ngmtd" 0 0
I don't receive a message stating that anything is being erased... all I receive is a return?

I'm assuming the command didn't work?
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've lost my 2.4 & 5 bands and can only connect via ethernet on my xr700
This is maddening. Any help is appreciated!
From my experience, it is the corrupted NVRAM that caused the DumaOS not loaded yet issue. Usually it happens when one upgrades to a new bin. Only resetting the NVRAM by erasing it can fix it. None of the unit resets did anything. For the xr700, you just need the latest bin 1.0.1.20 that still has telnet enabled. Not any of the earlier one. If you cannot get back into telnet, you are hosed. Tftp never worked for me. I hope if the new Duma3 ever comes out, it will have the option to enable telnet, otherwise when issues come up, one is helpless to debug.
You can check your disk file structure (df -k) to find that the overlay volume is corrupted, at 100% capacity. You can check your wireless status by iwconfig. When you issue the erase command, it will come back to tell erasing progress until 100% is done. If you don’t see it, something has gone wrong. Try again. Attached image in the earlier message 22 of this thread showed what exactly was done a year ago to fix it. Good luck, cannot help you any further than what was said before.
Went back and retried your method.
Worked perfectly. DumaOS and WiFi working fine now.
Thank you again.
