Has anyone rolled back?

Tue Oct 05, 2021 12:28 pm

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a known safe method of rolling back from v7 to v6?

Sure...do you have an export file of the 6 version?

I've rolled back following documentation (https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... g+RouterOS) without problems!
Summing up:
  • Copy the firmware file (.npk) on Mikrotik's root folder
  • Execute the "/system/package/downgrade" command
  • Reboot the device

Possibly somewhere buried away. Failing that a fresh config is fine, I'm more bothered about not wanting to roll back and brick the Hex it's on.

hexPoE, tested RC4 then reverted to 6.47.10 - did this twice with the procedure described above, with no problems whatsoever.

I rolled back but just because I needed to try something. So upgraded again almost instantly. Therefore I did not restore a config but just kept the one from 7.1rc4.
Some stuff was broken after the downgrade. I lost my default route for example. But really did not dig deeper into it.
