Hi there,
I am having a problem with this rb450g. It turns on, it beeps and that´s all. So, I tried to conect using a serial cable. It showed me this erro message, which I am gonna post here.
Any idieia how to fix it ?
Thanks.

Use Netinstall and install RouterOS v5.5,

Thank you very much, it worked perfectly.
Now I am this problem with a rb411. I´ve tried the same approach but it stopped in this erro mesage.

Use the latest netinstall v5.6 and RouterOS v5.6 to recover RB411.
I´ve tried with v 5.5. But the problem is, I can´t get pass that. I choose " O " , theun " E ", and there it shows this erro message.
Try v5.6.
Attach screenshot with error.
I did it already. It is the 2nd picturein the post.
I have doubts about v2.12 for RouterBOOT.
Use third method to upgrade RouterBOOT version to newer version,

Buddy,
how am I supposed to do this upgrade ? By serial port ?
Which option should I choose ?
Thanks.
Yes, use serial port to upgrade firmware (RouterBOOT)!
Buddy,
Is there a file that should download it first ?
If so, how am I supposed to point to it ?
Thanks.
Look on my post before

Use xmodem transfer method by Hyperterminal.
Is this the file I should donwload it ?
How am I supposed to upload it ? IS the the same proceedure as upload RouterOS to the board ?

Buddy I did read t.
But my questions I think are quiste simple. Is this link it’ll get me to downlaod the file I should upload to the board ?
and using hyperterminal. should I do the same proceedure but changing the options to upgrade the firmaware ?
Is that it ?
Thanks.

Buddy,
that´s what I get and I try.

You need to select s - upgrade firmware over serial port
I did select it, and It seems go nowhere. It tells to press control+x to cancel.
