Upgrade via GUI without reset from r48971

Update method: SSH / CLI
Router: Netgear XR500
Previous/Reset: DD-WRT v3.0-r48971 std (05/26/22) / No
Mode/Status: Gateway

It went in a boot loop after flashing. A hard reset seemed to solve the problem, but after reconfiguring the device it entered again in a boot llop. Back to 48971.

So try to reflash r48897 but bricked...do not worry, I can fix it.

[MLandi]

I've had two unexpected router reboots in the 8 hours I've had this version installed. The reboots are clean and act like I sent the reboot command myself. I am not used to having the router reboot itself. I'm not sure if this is my router or setup, or a problem with the build.

[saphirely]

Verify that r48996 work well now!

Using linux unbrick it
Flash buffalo-to-dd-wrt_webflash-MULTI.bin in buffalo GUI 192.168.11.1
Then after 4min, flash whr-g300nv2-firmware-MULTI.bin in GUI. All version is r48996.

Thanks a lot!
