hAP ac2 bricked (?)

RouterOS General
1

Hello.

Yesterday i bought a new hAP ac2 router and setted it up for mine 4G modem.
Today i found that it’s repeatedly switching between lte and sd drive and cannot exit this loop (and internet is not working ofc).
I found out that this bug is fixed in 7.1 beta and i immediately tried to update router.
I’ve download update from mikrotik site (routeros-7.1beta2-arm.npk and all_packages-arm-7.1beta2.zip), upload them to router through winbox and rebooted it through interface.

====== The problem starts here ======
After rebooting through interface, router stops working. It’s not detected by PC by ethernet cable, doesn’t have active wifi hotspots.
I tried to reset its configuration by reset button, but it’s not helped me.
Tried to use winbox with MAC address to log in, no success.
Tried to boot it to netinstall to flash it with new fw, but it’s not detecting.

What i’m doing wrong and what i can do with it now?

RMA.

But try the netinstall several times more and check you really set everything right in order to run netinstall correctly.

Use latest longterm version only if you want to be arleast somehow sure you did everything to prevent possible problems.

After some tries netinstall found router and i successfully flashed 6.45.9 (stable).
But then i updated again through “Check updates” to development branch and router stop working again :smiley:
I have repeated steps with netinstall and stayed on stable branch.
Maybe i will find a way to install 7.1 on it, but not for now :smiley:

Why would you do it? I suggested to stay at latest long term which is 6.45.9 for now.
