Hi,
Netgear R7000 here with DD-WRT v3.0.r40559, cannot get 30/30/30 reset working. Tried it already 20 times. It`s not my first R7000 with DD-WRT so I am a bit familiar to it.

First your build is really old and flawed, so updating is recommended.
Current build is 49626
See the forum guidelines with helpful pointers about how to research your router, where and what firmware to download, where and how to post and many other helpful tips:

30/30/30 reset is not recommended to do on Broadcom Arm, it could even brick your router.

Hello and thanks for your answer.
Problem is, that I don`t have any chance to get on the device through command line or network (LAN). After booting up the router gives 4-5 replies to ICMP echo request and that`s it....than its offline again....

And you dont do a 30/30/30 reset on anything but old wrt54g legacy HW. Otherwise you just risk sending router into recovery or other modes and or even bricking them.
Your alternative is the reset button for 10 seconds could be less, or via terminal running nvram reset && reboot
