RN102 will not upgrage firmware

I have a 102 running 6.2.5.  I had tried (multiple times and methods) to upgrade to 6.4 without luck.  After the reboot it is back to 6.2.5 with no errors in the log file.  I also tried installing the Netgear APP to deal with the checksum, but it would also not load.

 

Now I tried 6.4.1 with the same results.  My other Readynas units have upgraded w/o any issues.

 

Any ideas out there ?

    I got my PM from a Netgear Tech/Engineer.  After a few back and forths, he remoted into my ReadyNAS and was able to force an upgrade.

     

    Great support solving the problem.  Hopefully he will get a hold of you and do same.

    Hi tec-man,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    Are you doing the automatic or manual Firmware update? Perhaps use a different computer or web browsers. 

     

     

    Kind regards,

      If that does not resolve it, have you checked the contents of initrd.log?

       

      Does it show that the update failed?

        I have tried both manual and auto updating.  Also the log shows rebooting and background task starting.  No errors of any type.
