Nighthawk X6 R7900 tftp flash

Hi there,

 

I was trying to put dd-wrt on this one and may have potentially bricked it. Just wondering if I can do tftp flash now given the indicators as seen in the image. 

 

I have tried factory reset etc. Rebooted multiple times but it comes back to the same state as seen in picture. 

 

When I connect it to PC using one LAN port , I can't ping 192.168.1.1 therefore the tftp flash fails. 

 

What can I do to bring it to a state where I can flash an official firmware again?  Image attached for reference ( SOLID Amber/Orange light on power and white on the LAN port connected to PC) .

 

Thanks ! NightHawk.jpg

When you tried to flash it with ddwrt, you suddenly don't have stock firmware and the stock guides aren't going to work. 

You can try at the ddwrt forums to see what advice they have on removing/recovering from a bricked process.
