R8500 Reboot Loop & Bricked Solution

I have a bricked R8500. I tried to upload different vsersions of firmware throught nmrp protocol (nmrp server). Everytime I restart the router after swiching to a different version. The router is still bricked, but shows a different symptom. Sometime, it turn into boot loops. Sometime, the power light is amber, and the antenas and wifi button is lighted up. I cannot ping the router with manually assigned IP address, but I can upload .chk firmwares with the nmrp server. Any suggestions? Thank you all in advance.
