Title: Firmware upgrade fails
Post by: theant on August 03, 2014, 01:44:09 AM

Hello
any attempt to update my 325 A2 firmware from 1.03 to 1.05 (ww) fails.
The Nas is up and runnings fine but I can't install nothing, Ajaxplorer and surveillance addon install fail too.
Maybe I have to temporarily remove the hdd before to try again?

Hallo,
what web browser do you use?
I use firefox and it worked well without any problems.
Good luck.

Strange!
Can you please describe the procedure you tried to upgrade your firmware.

Hallo,
I checked your procedure.
Did you notice that you have to unzip the FW-file twice?!

When you unzip DNS-325_fw_revA2_1-05B3_all_multi_20140613.zip you get three files:
- DNS-325_A2_FW_v1.05b03.zip
- DNS-325_A2_FW_v1.05b03_ReleaseNote.doc
- DNS-325_A2_Release Note_for Firmware_v1.05.doc.

DNS-325_A2_FW_v1.05b03.zip has to be unzipped again.
(Uploading a zip-file leads to the result you got.)
After unzipping again you get the real FW-file DNS-325_A2_FW_v1.05b03!!!
Upload this file and you get it.
Good luck.
