RN516 Firmware update error - stuck at FW 6.6.0 - fwbroker.cgi error

Hi,

 

My RN516 is stuck at FW 6.6.0

When I try to check for updates nothing happen.

When I try to Manually install a new firmware I got the Error message : unrecognized server error.

 

When I connect via SSH and do a Journalctrl, i can spot a fwbroker.cgi error

Jul 24 19:32:46 NASRN516 apache_access[4222]: 192.168.1.100 "POST /dbbroker HTTP/1.1" 200

 

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks.

 

PS :  It seems that I got a lot of permissions problem too

  • I managed to do a firmware update via ssh :

     

    # echo /root/ReadyNASOS-6.6.1-x86_64.img > /etc/.flash_update

    It did fixed my fwbroker problem.

    After a reboot I even got asked by the system to update to 6.7.5 !

     

    Thanks anyway
