RB850Gx2 upgrade to 7.6 failed

Thu Nov 17, 2022 11:18 am

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade routeros from 6.49.6 to 7.6, but when I try to use the upgrade channel and download, it shows routeros-powerpc-7.6.npk missing.
I also try to download the routeros-ppc-7.6.npk to files and also rename it to routeros-powerpc-7.6.npk and reboot. But the system does not upgrade.

Thanks.
Uni

How to enable the upgrade log?

Just saw it on the upgrade GUI.

Log about anything important happening is in Logs lop-level section (available in Winbox/WebFig and CLI). When trying to upgrade, there will be some log entries immediately after reboot (in case logging to memory that means right at the beginning of log).

Hello mkx,

I enabled many tpoics in System logging.
However, I didn't see any information in the log related to upgrade or rebooting.
The only thing I can see is under the bottom of the upgrade section that shows no package name routeros-powerpc-7.6.npk. and I checked the download page on mikrotik there is no package named routeros-powerpc-7.6.npk, only routeros-ppc-7.6.npk can be downloaded. So I think is there any naming convention error on routeros upgrade sever?

Indeed there's naming problem and it's not possible to upgrade from v6 to v7 on PPC devices directly from GUI. You can manually download needed package files from download.mikrotik.com and put them to files area on your router. Check the list of already installed packages and if you have any optional package, you'll have to deal with it somehow.
Then reboot device, it'll detect package files and try to install them. Whatever happrns, there will be something in log abut it.
