There was an R7800 image posted in another thread, but I'd hold off until 52040 (or newer) drops.

r7800, build 51140, install guide v48 and bad blocks

Why wait? It is the entire point of test images, to check for showstoppers, especially if you have bad nand R7800.

Also, you can test right now r52040 if you want.

I probably could, but I would have to wake someone up and hope that there are no combat flashbacks running through their brain. Some days aren't so good, but only one person would understand, and that person is a complete ass.

try r52037 or later with TFTP (tftpd64 on windows recommended , tftp2 doesnt work), bad block detection has been improved, formerly unflashable r7800 and xr500 i had aquired recently could be flashed successfully now....

must flash with TFTP

Much better , but no win yet!!
Tried this build. Flashed via TFTP64 and later tried to rollback to dumaos 2.0.0.28 and tried to install from it also.
After flashing the router reboots , turns on and seems that there is no bootloop anymore. But it doest work ) cant resolve ip and no response to ping. Lan led flashes as it should be. Internet lights on even if there is no cable. Wifi led also lights, but no wifi networks detected

it's WIP, try the most recent build

https://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2023/03-23-2023-r52095/netgear-xr500/

maybe it works, maybe not ...
and maybe you should reset the router before flashing another firmware

r52037 - Installs and able to ping 192.168.1.1, cannot access webgui.
r52054 - Installs and able to ping 192.168.1.1, cannot access webgui.
r52081 - Boot loops.
r52095 - Boot loops.
r52148 - Boot loops.
r52189 - Boot loops.
r52217 - Boot loops.

It was getting close with r52054 but then back to boot looping with additional revisions. Just wanted to post the versions I have tried after the recommended test build r52037. All the above attempts were done in recovery mode with Tftpd64.

"OpenWRT-22.03.3-ipq806x-generic-netgear_xr500-squashfs-factory" flashes and works successfully using the same Tftpd64 method, it's just DD-WRT that refuses to work on this XR500 with bad nand. Very excited though, to be able to finally use this router with DD-WRT in what seems to be the near future.
