Old AP230 running 6.1r5 trying to upgrade, error

[Angel_E_]

Hello, 

     I see this question asked multiple times. I have an AP230, fresh out of the box but with an old fimware on it. Everytime to try to upload a firmware through the Web interface or via TFTP, I get the following errors:

------

AH-136480#save image tftp://10.1.211.54:AP230-6.5r12.img.S
Do you really want to update image?(Y/N)y

I’ve tried 6.5r12, 6.5r3… and nothing seems to be accepted. The Extreme Cloud interface says I should upgrade to at least 6.1r6, but I can’t find that anywhere on the download site.

Currently running:

----

Version:            HiveOS 6.1r5 release build1696
Build time:         Thu Mar 27 02:45:26 UTC 2014
Build cookie:       20140326-2453
Platform:           AP230
Bootloader ver:     v0.0.2.21
TPM ver:            v1.2.37.17

 How can I move forward with this. I literally just had to do the same thing with another AP about a week ago. That one I had been able to TFTP 6.5r3 up to it, and then stagger through the rest of the updates successfully. I have already tried hard-resetting this additional device at least once.

Help would be appreciated, thank you!

Thank you for the information. 

I’ll begin the firmware updates soon, and let you know how it goes. 

Kind regards,

Hi Angel, I’ve emailed you directly with instructions on how to find the firmware files you need. With devices on firmware versions older than 6.1r6, we need to go to 6.1r6 first, then 6.2r1. After that you can jump to any later firmware version. Hope that helps!
