First time with this FX30, Was attempting to get the FX30 to be on a fresh state to re flash my firmware. Messed around and tried a couple of things like AT!RMARESET=OEM and rm -rf /data/\*. Thinking factory reset would bring everything back to default if i messed up. Now I’m only able to see 192.168.2.2 on ecm0 but eth0 is non existence now with the 192.168.13.31. Appreciate any help! ---

Hello, thanks for the quick feedback, Factory reset wouldn’t bring the eth0 up as well. I tried a couple of times. also I tried to update the firmware with AT!BOOTHOLD but this was what I get ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/5/5fe75536c7d0baeac4b0e59a5d76b4829e5cea5d.png) ---

How about transfer to /home/root ? You might also check “df -h” for the storage space ---
