I fix few boot-loop units... with NetInstall and Wireshark, check my HowTo viewtopic.php?f=2&t=167360&p=821518#p821518
Remember that some version of NetInstall.exe not work properly and try use other, e.g. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=176162

I have the same issue and the linked tips won't work for me.
Did you ever fix this unit?

In my case I can see with wireshark:
- bootp request from chateau 5g and reply from my machine (client ip is assigned)
- tftp transfer for file vmlinux:
CleanShot 2023-08-31 at 21.51.07@2x.png
- tftp transfer completes after block 2390 and machine seems to send bootp reply again:

During that time the power / system led is blue.
~10 seconds after the transfer (last) completes, all leds turn constant green for about a second except system/power led is purple
- a few seconds later the process starts again

Wireshark capture: https://nextcloud.project-ivo.com/index ... yirXanZKaa
I'm stuck in this loop.

I tried various machines (even an old windows xp), switches in between, etc.
Can anyone test with a "working" chateau 5g if it boots netinstall at all?

The same problem. A few days ago I tried to update ROS to latest version on client's Chateau 5G, router rebooted and no more booted. :(
How to properly do netinstall for this router ?
I tried to connect laptop with netinstall to Ethernet 1 port, pressed and held reset button and then powered on the router, but with no luck. Netinstall doesn't see the router.

UPDATE:[SOLVED]
using Ubuntu Linux fresh install with netinstall-cli (7.12.beta3) and routeros 7.12.beta3 works.
Thanks for the suggestion

@chanchan

Use Netinstall 7.12.x and reinstall.

Then I found another issue that causes the unit not to boot sometimes, I set the CPU frequency from auto to lowest and never a problem.
