On my main Mikrotik router I opened the System → Routerboard window and hit upgrade because there was a newer one available. Now I can no longer connect to it. I can’t winbox in, I can’t ssh in, and the web interface using the gateway address times out as well. Sadly, I’m not entirely sure what I did and I’d like to get back into it! Here’s a screenshot of the screen where I made the upgrade. It doesn’t appear to be the firmware upgrade that I’ve done on previous occasions from a different window.
Any help would be appreciated!
Also, that screenshot is from the groove I’m trying to setup as an AP bridge to extend the wireless signal into the backyard.
Only option is full wipe??
Try the winbox by mac address connection instead ip address.
Then paste the packages in it and reboot.
It should tried that already.
If you don’t hear 2 bips from the groove, mac connection will not work.
It’s not a groove that I’m locked out of.
Who cares anyway? 
So the router was sending traffic but nothing could connect to it. Winbox doesn’t see it, Netinstall can’t see it. Nodda. I went ahead and tried both factory reset methods in the following post, they didn’t seem to do anything. Could a software update in the screenshot above brick this routerboard that hard?
None of the software tools will even pick up it’s MAC on the network to try and communicate with it. Is it bricked for life? I did pull off the rubber foot to try and factory reset it via the hole with a screwdriver. No dice.
Do you tried to make “hard reset” on it? Follow this thread for info where is it.

Yeah, I tried this: http://www.mikrotik.com.my/reset-to-factory-default-settings/
The groove works fine. It’s the R700 that’s bricked.
