Srw2024 Ing Code Using Xmodem Source

Downloading code using XMODEM. We've got an srw2024 v1.1 switch. If by chance you have flashed the wrong version, you may use the xmodem procedure posted here to upload the correct one.

Hi, My SRW2016 keeps rebooting after upgrading, I guess something went wrong. He is what the console says: ------ Performing the Power-On Self Test (POST) ------ UART Channel Loopback Test..PASS Testing the System SDRAM..PASS Boot1 Checksum Test..PASS Boot2 Checksum Test..FAIL Flash Image Validation Test..PASS BOOT Software Version 1.0.1 Built 11-Jun-2006 18:43:59:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.:::::::::.::..

Downloading code using XMODEM. Download failed Perform WARM BOOT. I've tried loading firmwares srw206.ros, ls20xx_salsa-12222.ros and ls20xx-12230.ros but it doesn't want to take any of them. Does anyone have a suggestion to solve this issue?

Decompressing SW from flash HOSTG_rscode_file_load: could not load file Perform WARM BOOT. When I go to the Hyperterminal an press 'Downloading from Xmodem' and select Send File. Select the firmware image (older FW) and choose Xmodem as the protocol, then I get an error:-( Is here anybody reactivated the switch from this loop with an older fw?

Thankyou K.R. Just wanted to give an update for the users still using or have a SRW2016 or SRW2024 switch stuck in a loop. Since you cannot access the switch via telnet or http you must connect through the serial/console port and load an older rev of the firmware to get the switch out of the loop.

It appears the older versions of boot code do not like the 1.2+ firmware. The easiest way to get back normal operation of the switch is, as stated above. Load an older rev of the firmware through the serial port with Xmodem. Once you have an operating switch, you can then load the newest rev of boot code, reboot, then load (through serial again) the latest 1.2+ firmware. There are already posts on here going through the step-by-step details of this process, but if you find yourself lost, email/msg me and I will help. Thanks -Adam. I had my SRW2024 stuck in a loop after upgrading to version 1.2.2.

I was successfully able to downgrade back to 1.00.86 using the XMODEM method and breaking the loop after the POST. I did not have access to a LinkSys cable. I first tried a serial cable, then a null modem cable and finally had to build a custom cable to connect to the console port.

Pinouts are 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8 and 9-9. Each pin is straight through. Everything I have read indicates that I need to upgrade my boot code as well as the firmware.

The problem is I cannot find where to download the latest boot code. The LinkSys site redirects to Cisco when you search for the SRW2024. The Cisco site allows you to download 3 versions of the firmware, but I cannot find anywhere to download the boot code. Can anyone assist me by pointing me in the right direction or providing a url link to the latest boot code. OK I upgraded my srw2016 with out any problems and with out needing the console or telnet step one get the files runtop_boot-101.rfb and ls20xx-12230.ros runtop is hard to get Cisco removed it from the downloads damning you to fail but you can get it with the help of Google. Step two get a Tftp server I got TFTP32 but you can use just a bout any. And copy the run top boot file to is directory step three in the management tab on the web interface select file download and point it to the IP of the TFTP server select boot code, put the file name in runtop_boot-101.rfb and let it upload it will take a min.
