Title: DIR-615 E3 Emergency recovery help requested
Post by: danmcco on January 18, 2016, 10:15:25 AM
After failing to upgrade firmware, I was using the Emergency procedure. 
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/55grwazp6rttzx6/Snap%202016-01-18%20at%2012.23.34.png?dl=0)

According to the e-net adapter status -- I watched -- it uploaded the whole original v5.10 bin.  Webpage never shows "success"  but just spinning windows thingie in the top left of the browser.

What should I do now?  I've gotten this far before and tried 30-30-30 but when I restart I either get the same send page or just the solid orange light.

I would but I received no advice.  As I said software upload but no success message.  30-30-30 post upgrade does nothing.

What is the procedure after software is uploaded (with or without success message)

As I said in my original post, it is during the ERP that I get a problem.  I see the upload page and then upload the software (verified by adapter status page) but never get success message.

the ERP states

After the firmware successfully loads, a Success page will display
If the Success page fails to display, then repeat steps 3 through 9

I have done it 8-10 times and uploaded data but no success message.  After file has uploaded I tried 30-30-30.  Same orange light.

I was looking for advice on what else to try after the software uploads but without success message.

Did you try power cycling the router after sending the file?
30-30-30 does not work on D-Link routers.

I presume if you have tired all and the router still fails to come to ready, it's bricked and it's time for a new router.

I tried cycling, 303030, cursing and praying -- though not necessarily in that order.
Off to the store.

Sorry about that. Sometimes they get bricked beyond recovery.

Keep that FAQ in mind for your next D-link router.

Good Luck.
