Hello ALL!

I tried to downgrade the RouterOS version of my RB750GL to the 4.17 stable and after that my RB become a unmanaged switch with all the port in the same vlan and no access to the RouterOS.


I tried all the possible ways to reset it but it didn´t work.

I need a official help about how to reinstall the routeros in it.



Thanks .

Use netinstall.

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Netinstall

But netinstall depends of RouterOS funcionality? Or it works without RouterOS?

netinstall allows you to re-install for RB with no serial port.

Do you remember what level license when first bought? if V5.X you can't downgrade them.

CMIIW.

Yes man, it was 5.x
And I tried to downgrade to 4.17 (stable version)

Since I already did it, is there any chances to take it back to 5.7 ?


Thanks!

Yes. Use netinstall. It will work.

SOLVED:

It was two things.

- First, after you press the reset button and turn on the RB, you need to wait the ACT led, it will blink until stop, then you can release the reset button.

- Second, if you try to use Netinstall and for any reason it doesn't work, try in another PC. (it is recommended to turn off the Windows Firewall and the Antivirus/Firewall.


last tip: you don't need to downgrade any RB at least mikrotik ask you to do.

Board itself was produced after V4.17 was released, so board supports only 5.x version, forget about 4.17.

Hello,

I am here with two RBs with the same problem, can I pass as I've tried resetting could not get here or how to put on the netinstall installation mode, for the tutorial on the website above has not worked!


sorry,may bad english! lol

Thanks.

look here:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Netinstall

in brochure are details about what you have to do to enable netboot, so it can be netinstalled.

info about board - routerboard.com

make sure you are connected to port 1

AFAIK, problem is with bootloader 2.3x. it doesn't allow ROS 4.x . So u can't degrade to ROS 4.x on factory built 5.x versions.

hi all,

well,


helectro, I'm trying the reset button, so I have a cable plugged into port 1?
