Hardware MikroTik hardware general
1

hello,

i am trying to upgrade the firmware of a RB433AH from 2.26 to anything above. if i do it within ROS with ‘system routerboard upgrade’ and reboot when asked it will not do it and still have 2.26. if i do it via serial console or netinstall it will give me ‘invalid upgrade file id’.

here the screen:

RouterBOOT booter 2.15

RouterBoard 433AH

Authorization: Passed
CPU frequency: 680 MHz
  Memory size: 128 MB

Press any key within 5 seconds to enter setup

RouterBOOT-2.15
What do you want to configure?
   d - boot delay
   k - boot key
   s - serial console
   o - boot device
   u - cpu mode
   f - cpu frequency
   r - reset booter configuration
   e - format nand
   g - upgrade firmware
   i - board info
   p - boot protocol
   x - exit setup
your choice: g - upgrade firmware

Upgrade firmware options:
   e - upgrade firmware over ethernet
   s - upgrade firmware over serial port
your choice: e - upgrade firmware over ethernet


trying bootp protocol... OK
Got IP address: 192.168.1.20
