hap ac2 (128MB Edition) upgrade to 7.1 Beta 4,5

Mon Mar 29, 2021 10:34 am

I have quite some hap ac2 devices. Upgrade to 7.1 beta 4 or 5 on 256MB edition devices was just a 'click and done', but never success on 128MB devices.
Anyone upgraded to 7.1 beta on hap ac2 device (128MB edition) successfully?

I had issues upgrading the hAP AC^2 from the v6 to v7.1b4, I used the netinstall to do it.
when I upgraded from the b4 to b5 it worked doing it via the packages menu in winbox

How did you upgrade from 6.xx? Any hints?
I did try to reset to default config of my hap ac2 b4 netinstall but still no luck.
The good news to me is hap ac2 128MB can be upgraded. So I can continue on trying other ways.

I upgraded through Winbox (/system > packages > check for updates) and upgraded to beta3 (if I remember correct). Aftrewards, the same for upgrades beta3 > beta4 > beta5

Okay. Just did some tests on 2 PCs. One with Realtek network card and one with Intel.
The tests on 2 pcs got same results:

NetInstall 7.1 Beta 5 couldn't put the device into flash mode. NetInstall 6.48.1 had no problem.
So, I tried to put the device into flash mode with NetInstall 6.48.1 then close 6.48.1 and open NetInstall 7.1 Beta 5 and flash the device with 7.1 beta 5 rom.
Then the device became brick and I had to flash it back to 6.48.1 version.

I started beta testing since beta 4 so haven't tried beta 3. I did try to find previous beta version in mikrotik archive but don't have any beta version there.
Anyway, thx for your information.

Btw, anyone know where I can find Beta 3 copy?

I have quite some hap ac2 devices.
I do hope this is just for test, since v7 is far from stable and should not be used in production.
