Hey guys;

I bricked it by messing around with internal routing via OpenVPN server config. Now I can access its GUI nor ping it; on top of that, its reset button is disabled.

Is there any way to stop the start-up script from running at boot-up? I think "boot wait" is enabled.

Thanks.

See the specific notes about your router in note 1 of the peacock announcement, and the general info on bricks in note 6.

Would the "30/30/30 hard reset" work even when the button is disabled?

Just an observation...

I have been looking for some specific gpio..

If you disabled your reset button...

Use telnet.. It seems the reset button is either gpio 4 or gpio 7 on most (all that I have been able to test)

So.. using telnet:

gpio enable 4 [enter]

or...

gpio enable 7 [enter]

that'll push the reset button even if it is disabled. once you see the power light blinking.. let it blink for a few, then power cycle.. Back to defaults Wink

Management mode worked! Smile It actually reset the NVRAM.
