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 ?

Re: RN102 will not upgrage firmware

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,

Re: RN102 will not upgrage firmware

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

 

Does it show that the update failed?

Re: RN102 will not upgrage firmware

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

Re: RN102 will not upgrage firmware

Hi Tec-man,

 

It is very likely that you are experiencing checksum issue that is resolved in 6.4.0+. To get you on the latest firmware version we will need to look into doing this workaround here ReadyNAS OS 6: RN100/RN2120 cannot update due to invalid checksum

 

With out seeing your logs I would assume this is the problem. If you download your logs and look at the initrd.log file it should confirm this issue.

 

Let me know if this helps,

When I try to run complete-flash-update_1.0_armel.deb as prescribed by Netgear for the problem I get:

 

[15/12/08 18:47:10 EST] err:system:LOGMSG_APPLICATION_ADD_FAIL Failed to install application 'complete-flash-update_1.0_armel.deb'.

 

Any ideas ?

Re: RN102 will not upgrage firmware

Do you have a backup of your data?

At this point, I would suggest backing up your data, doing a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) and trying the procedure for the problem again.

There is another way but it's way complicated. I've sent you a pm for further instructions.

Hello Lorenzo,

 

If you have already tried this article, it is best you contact support center to get an L3 remote in to your NAS to force the firmware upgrade.
