R7000 Flash Back From Tomato Bricked

Hello,

I was running the latest Advanced Tomato Shibby Mod on my R7000 but decided to flash back to Netgears.  I followed his instructions here.

I got as far as flashing it with the r7000-back-to-ofw.trx file.  Upon reboot lights all flash looking good, I get 3-4 pings from 192.168.1.1, but then they die.  The power and ethernet port lights are the only ones lit.  This same behavior is repeatable by power cycles the router.  I've tried the 30/30/30 process multiple times, sometimes a lot longer.  Not sure where to go from here.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  

 

Thanks, Jeff

power on the router, press

power on the router, press and hold the reset button for 20 seconds then let boot. If it does not come up turn power back off then on again. Most likley nvram was nor erased.

Thanks Mr. Don.  I've tried

Thanks Mr. Don.  I've tried all kinds of pressing reset in different intervals and for different periods of time.  No dice.
