Help with Flashing Netgear r6220 #24

Closed knowmansoul closed 4 years ago

knowmansoul commented 4 years ago

I'm noob and bricked the router with the wrong bin file and now I am having trouble recovering. Following the instructions and a lot of trial and error, I am not certain what have done wrong and/or right. Into hour 6 and going to shutdown for now. I am working on windows machine, but, could switch to a Ubuntu distro on a laptop, if that is a better way to flash the OEM firmware back.

  1. Move your firmware file to the same directory as nmrpflash.exe

  2. Open a command prompt with administrator privileges.

  3. Switch to the directory where nmrpflash.exe and your firmware file are located. For example, if they are in a folder called flash on your Desktop, run the following command: cd C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\Desktop\flash

  4. Turn off the router, and connect it your computer using a network cable.

  5. In the command prompt, run nmrpflash -L.

  6. You'll get a list of network interfaces, named netX. Identify your Ethernet connection, for example net3.

  7. Run nmrpflash -i net3 -f "<YOUR FIRMWARE FILE NAME>"

  8. Turn on the router, and flashing should commence.
