[horizn]

hi,

i tried 5.0beta1, but now i want back to 4.6 to compare results. the problem is:
/system package downgrade does not work, also tried from webfig and old webbox. device is restarting and back again with 5.0beta1. how can i back to 4.x?

in my case downgrade is working as expected. Check weather you have correct packages uploaded.

or give more detail - what board, what Beta1 release.

do you click on “downgrade” button or only restart as on update
“downgrade” button is on package list window in winbox

as always, check “/log print” after reboot

Worked for me also, with winbox downgrade button. Maybe your 4.x package is broken. Check log after reboot.

I upgraded to beta 2 and then downgraded to 4.9…

That works fine now.

in v5b1 I had no bootloader information with the /system routerboard print command. It was empty “” where it usually is “2.20” for example.

I uploaded v5b2 and it did not upgrade on reboot. Two attempts - the board did not even power up wihtout adapter unplug.

Then I clicked the button Downgrade - the board upgraded to v5b2 LOL LOL LOL.

Had packages missing - so the up/downgrade procesure was stupidified (this way was not intended by the developers probably).

So I uploaded the missing packages and now it seems working. I will send a supout and ask support whether I should downgrade , re-upgrade, reflash via serial or waht. Because so far it seems working but there were weird entries in the log. Like orphaned files etc. Sheise.

P.S. WAIT LONGER when you do these things. Maybe I did not wait long enough.

I’m using an RB450G. Version 5.13 seems to have bug in MLPPP where one line connects with 8 connections and the remaining 4 don’t connect at all. I thought I’d try 4.17 just in case.

I opened a new terminal and typed in “/system package downgrade” and it worked fine.
