If SHMOO fails while training memory, then it means you're not even reaching the console portion of the code. Short of JTAG (I don't think this platform is supported by the public JTAG methods), then there's not much you can do about it.

It means it can't reach at CFE. So serial command ctrl+c not working..
Its mean only way to recover is nand flash if I have whole nand dump??
 
Why are you bricking multiple routers? I just accidentally deleted your post about bricking a NETGEAR R8000.

Ohoooo noooooo.

Netgear stock firmware is less features and not have root access which does not meet my requirements. And no other third party firmware doesn't support R8000P.

I found the link where Merlin firmware for R8000P.
but the tutorial not published.
I flash the firmware via telnet with cfe rom firmware that published above link and bricked.

Currently R8000P does not have much post or discussed about problems and unbricking methods.
Asus 86u hardware almost similar to R8000P. And more discussed regarding 86U problems and debugging. So I post as 86U not R8000P.

Does not mean it's the same thing, or that it's compatible (in addition to the legal issues). The HND platform uses an encrypted CFE, CFE is hardware-specific, and CFE data is part of the firmware image that you flashed. You just wrote a firmware with encrypted CFE data that does not work on your router, hence you bricked it.

Corrupted CFE = game over for your router.
