[SOLVED] CCR RouterOS - unable to upgrade

RouterOS General
1

Hi all
I’m currently testing RouterOS releases for deployment. At the moment I’m stuck at 6.35.2, regardless of which npk (eg 6.40) I upload the process fails everytime. My understanding of the RouterOS is that you cannot downgrade bellow the factory version, upgrading however shouldn’t require anything special apart from the correct package (I assume tile in this case)

Reset of the device didn’t help either. Any suggestions about how to proceed?

Just in case anyone ends up in the same situation:
I assume the problem was that packages from different versions were active at the same time. For eg wireless-cm2 from 6.35.2 and wireless from 6.43.2. The solution was to disable all 6.35.2 packages and reboot the device.
After that it started with 6.43.2 and I was able to down/upgrade again.
