I was unsure of where to post this; since my netgear R6900V2 has a mediatek chipset and there isn't a sub forum for my chipset.

I installed the beta build: v3.0-r47528 from the date 10/10/2021

However I now want to go back to stock.
But to my dismay after flashing stock it says success.. but no matter how many times it says this ddwrt is still there.
somebody help I feel very trapped.
I even tried to flash openwrt.. thinking it might be more willing to accept another custom firmware.
nope. same change your password ddwrt greeting.
why won't ddwrt leave.. i want it gone..

Mediatek belongs to the Ralink forum

I will transfer this for you.

You probably have to TFTP the stock firmware back

Okay, So I successfully bricked the router.
However I managed to fix it with nmrpflash.
My router is back on stock firmware.
this is solved.

"Ralink is owned by MediaTek"

All you had to do was search for "mediatek" in ascending order and the first page of results would've made it obvious.

If anyone finds this on a search for the R6900v2...
I flashed OpenWRT 21.02.1 from OEM to this model and it's working fine.
