Yep - but might have changed during the f/w upgrade and be causing the brick - hence the need to see them again :)

...also please start a new topic now as this isn't anything to do with the RUC any more :wink:

Rerun RUC if you can and telnet if you can't - new post in Firmware Forum please - you will see a few other "bricked" threads there already.

If it showed the Routertech web screen that's not a brick! Have you tried resetting to defaults, the re-entering your detail, and start with a 'safe' MTU of 1400 on the connection setup screen.

That is why I said to read + follow the instructions in the firmware docs.

And that's why I said to run the diagnostic tool :lol:

If the diagnostic tool is able to get the router information then it's not bricked...

I am unable to get RUC to get pass 76%, the mswinsck.ocx is there as well as shdocvw.dll but shdocvw.oca isnt and mshtml.tlb is there, firewall isn't blocking port so RUC has full access.

Any ideas?

Bootloader Issue

Post by EmmieShadow » Sun Jul 13, 2008 10:03 pm

Hi I downloaded the 1.2.8 RUC and ran it without problems, only thing is it seems to detect a problem with bootloader so it cannot tell me which firmware to download. I am hoping someone could explain in "newbie" terms how I can fix/repair this.

Login to the router via telnet, and supply the outputs of these commands:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/versions
cat /proc/ticfg/env
cat /proc/modules
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/avalanche/avsar_ver

It is an Adam2-based SAR600E, using a very old firmware. You need the one-port Adam2 firmware. You have to upgrade using separate images. However, your firmware is so old. You should proceed with extreme caution. The risk of bricking the router is very high.

And I think you would first need to upgrade to the latest manufacturer firmware for that router (v66.x) before trying the RT firmware. There is some information on upgrading old SAR600E firmwares somewhere on this forum. It is normally at least a 2-stage process, and it is fraught.

My advice is that, unless you are happy for the router to become a brick, then you should stay with your current firmware.
