x670v Boot Loop

Mike_Hammett — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 01:14:20 GMT

My x670v seems to be stuck in a reboot loop.

This could potentially be due to corrupt image. Have you tried booting into the alternate partition? You can do this via the Bootrom menu?

Press and hold the <spacebar> to enter the bootrom.

BootRom > show image
Available Images are:
   1    OS Image
   2    OS Image
   3    Diagnostics
   4    Diagnostics

Default Image: 1

Your default Image is the currently booted image. If 1, then boot into the secondary partition and vice-versa:

BootRom > boot 2

If this doesn’t help, you could try installing a new image via the Bootrom menu. This process is documented in the following KB article:
How to Use the BootROM Menu to Download and Install a New Image to an EXOS Switch

Hope this helps

I’ve gone down that road to no success. Back to beating on my account manager to get me a quote for support so I can download the firmware.

Here’s me trying the diagnostic mode, unsuccessfully.

Still waiting to get software access so I can continue.

Yup, that worked. Well, so far at least. 🙂
