How to unbrick the Nighthawk R7000 using OS X and TFTP
Hi,
After spending a night on unbricking my R7000 and how I struggled to work with all the manuals out there but none of them actually worked. I thought I should share what actually worked for ...
HOLY COW IT WORKED!!!
nmrpflash worked!!! Switching to a Static IP address and turning my Wifi off did the trick!!
Also, recommend using -vvv to double check when it works. Took me two tries to nail the timing because the router has to finish restarting for the packet transfer to begin before the command times out.

Not very well.

"192.168.1.10" is (or should be) the address of your computer. Your
computer is not running a TFTP server, so you get a time-out when you
try to talk to it that way.You want to connect to the router/other-device at _its_ default IP
address (which, I gather, is that same as for a router: "192.168.1.1").
For example (without the wasted time/steps):$ tftp 192.168.1.1
tftp> binary
tftp> put <your_file_name_here>I have completed all the process until
PUT firmware.chk
and keep getting "transfer timed out" message.. (see attached image)
> I have completed all the process until [...]
Not a useful description of what you did. _Which_ "the process",
exactly?> [...] (see attached image)
Copy+paste of the plain text would be more helpful than a picture of
the plain text, and your picture does not show the initial commands.
However:Connected to 192.168.1.10
suggests that you didn't read the previous post:
