Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2019 18:19 Post subject: DLink DIR-860a1
I was able to successfully recover. IP yourself to 192.168.0.10 / 255.255.255.0 / 192.168.0.1. Plug to port 1
With power out, hold the reset button on the bottom. Open a browser and goto 192.168.0.1, and up load stock DLink FW.
now start router and within 10 seconds it will load the file to memory.
now wait and now you can get into openwrt probably trough 192.168.1.1 (in browser) use username root and pw admin and now I could load an old dd-wrt version.
I hope this will help you too.
Cant believe I got this working again by myself
I got this process to work, however, i cannot get to the browser. Is this for R7000 only, or is the vmlinuz generic?
I guess this is generic, but cant find the forum anymore. Maybe you can search for a specific R7000 vmlinux. Good luck
I was looking for one for R8000, as it flashes, but then stop responding. As a test i tried renaming the stock netgear chk to vmlinuz, and tftp64 that, and it seems to stay up and responding, however, i still cannnot get to browser.
now start router and within 10 seconds it will load the file to memory.

Do you mena tftpD64 ?
Yes the program is tftpd64
When I hold the reset button and power on, the power button doesn't blink as expected. I think mine is in a worse state.
Ialso tried TFTP from the command line with no luck.
glad I didn't waste my time before reading through the disaster, so if it's known to brick routers why hasn't the build been removed from the downloads?

It seems that it only bricks Broadcom-ARM, not all devices. I have no control over removing downloads.
changing the static ip subnet & gateway on my pc
pinging the router i get nothing but if i keep the ping going and reboot the router i get 3 or 4 answers 100ttl then it goes back to nothing
the tftp64 i can't get it to recognize the 192.168.1.2 interface

It is a tricky timing issue. You literally have to push the file via tftp on the first ttl=100. You are doing this over wired ethernet, I presume? https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Tftp_flash
