Cannot flash firmware to R7000P #153

I want to downgrade my Netgear firmware from the laters to the earliest. so i can flash a dd-wrt firmware into this via the web ui.

I'm using this method because updating the Web UI keeps failing.

On restart of the router i run this command and i get this result

sudo nmrpflash -v -i en6 -f 0.chk -t 10000 -T 10000 Password: Adding 10.164.183.252 to interface en6. Advertising NMRP server on en6 ... | Received configuration request from 9c:3d:cf:7b:4d:cb. Sending configuration: 10.164.183.253/24. Received upload request without filename. Using remote filename '0.chk'. Uploading 0.chk ... OK (32301114 b) Waiting for remote to respond. Received configuration request from 9c:3d:cf:7b:4d:cb. Sending configuration: 10.164.183.253/24. Ignoring extra upload request.

I don't know what to do from here because it keeps getting stuck here without progressing, when i restart the router i notice the firmware does not update.

Wht can i do?

Looks like the router prevents you from downgrading the firmware. You can use my patchchk tool to modify the image version number. Note that it has to be higher than the version number of the currently installed firmware.

so i can flash a dd-wrt firmware into this via the web ui.

Why not flash dd-wrt using nmrpflash?
