GS105Ev2 firmwareupdate fails
Hi, updated from 1.x till 1.4.0.9 worked well. I'm very cautious so i didn't make large steps, only one after another. But the last one fpr 1.5.0.4 does not work. I strictly followed this up...
Hi,
Just bought the GS105Ev2 and ended up here after looking how to update firmware and bootloader too as it seems to be tricky.
I ended up finding that the latest firmware package available on Netgear website (1.5.0.5) doesn't contain bootloader update nor allows to update it. But firmware package 1.5.0.4 does !
So to simply update firmware and bootloader to the latest versions:
- Update firmware with 1.5.0.4 with ProSafe Plus / reboot
- Connect to GS105Ev2 web gui, it will ask to update booloader, provide the bootloader update requested and contained in the package, it's GS105PE_loader_V1.4.0.5-VB.bin in my case / reboot
- Update firmware with 1.5.0.5 with ProSafe Plus or web gui / reboot
Et voilà
Should this work on the GS105PE? I upgraded the frimware on 2 of mine but I didn't get the bootloader options and its running the old bootloader? They seem to be working, what issues does the wrong bootloader verision cause?
I should have been more clear on my last post, I did try the /loader_upg.htm but it does not load a web page.
Hi,
I am also experiencing problems with the FW upgrade. On mine the bootloader page came up, but it gave me and error when it tried to download the bootloader FW. I tried it a couple of times. I then decide to downgrade it to the previous version, and I now have a brick. I have tried TFTP to connect to it but without any luck.
I was never able to update the boot-loader. But so far they are still running. Hoping if the power ever flashes they will turn back on ok. Let me know if Netgear ever has any advice for this situation.
