Can't update 102 to firmware 6.4.0
I have tried using the NAS webpage (FIREFOX) to auto update and also a manual update of downloaded firmware without success.
The unit uploads the image and prompts a reboot to install yet it doesn't install on boot.

Re: Can't update 102 to firmware 6.4.0
Hi david2010,
Can you confirm the current Firmware of your RN102 unit? Also have you tried using a different PC and browser?
I look forward to your response.
Kind regards,

Re: Can't update 102 to firmware 6.4.0
Hi The current firmware is 6.2.5
Yes I have tried a different browser, I have had a message from Christine (support) that suggests the checksum fails when it verifies the update.

Re: Can't update 102 to firmware 6.4.0
Hello,
first of all this is a good occasion to perform a backup of all your data before proceeding.
Failed FW upgrades can lead to data loss so please do a backup now if you have not done so already.
With failed FW upgrades it is also advisable to contact support as your case might be different from what I experienced and you may run into problems.
In my case I had a checksum mismatch when trying to upgrade from 6.2.5 to 6.4.0. My problem was solved by downgrading to 6.2.4 first and the upgrading from 6.2.4 to 6.4.0.
Bye,
Eskender

Re: Can't update 102 to firmware 6.4.0
I just checked the build.log for 6.2.5 and see no changes that would have caused the checksum error on 6.2.5 that would inadvertently work in 6.2.4. I'm curious if more people resolve this issue with this method.

When you try to install 6.2.4, does it tell you that you can't downgrade, or it tries to reboot and still fails?

Re: Can't update 102 to firmware 6.4.0
It doesnt say i can't downgrade. It says it wants a reboot to install firmware.
I do this and it still is the existing firmware. I have also cleared out the browser cache

Re: Can't update 102 to firmware 6.4.0
I see from the logs you attached that you are having an upgrading issue due to invalid checksum.
[2015/10/13 00:58:21] Update image checksum mismatch (7d47463d9c9014d7dc3a1cd8b88d33a7/418b2000cc4ed5800b6e3c81273abc03)!
[2015/10/13 01:03:07] Update image checksum mismatch (7d47463d9c9014d7dc3a1cd8b88d33a7/cd4a6e8a49954d4c6d05ec0206030e7b)!
This is an issue we are investigating and would like to diagnose more. I'm going to follow up with you. Thanks.

Re: Can't update 102 to firmware 6.4.0
Unfortunately, I can't confirm that this is working. I do have an 102 with firmware 6.2.4. I followed the support note.
The initrd.log still gives
[2015/11/01 03:09:29] Update checksum verification failed! Aborting. [2015/11/01 03:09:31] Update image checksum mismatch (7d47463d9c9014d7dc3a1cd8b88d33a7/...)
So I assume there is a more fundamental problem to it.
Has anybody an idea how we can support Netgear to resolve this issue (e.g. where to send reports to channel them correctly?)

Re: Can't update 102 to firmware 6.4.0
Hi BrianL,
what is the difference between the workaround of your link and the workaround of the link I have reported not working for me? They are both pointing to the same workaround, so I assume you have overlooked the link I provided with my previous post.
Any other idea?
Thanks,
Enno
