R720 SCG firmware change

unknown

I have bought an R720 from Ebay. I have tried many times to factory reset it using the button. Then the device successfully obtains IP address from DHCP, and I can log in using the default credentials (super/sp-admin) for one time (!), and all I see is a restricted UI showing me:

"Software Version: 5.1.1.0.3048" and also that "A Ruckus SCG is managing this device."

And I can't go anywhere from here to change the firmware to standalone or unleashed (which I wanted to do originally). Can anyone kindly suggest me where can I go from here?

Thanks in advance.

Hi B0mb,

Pls ssh into it and use command set-factory, then you will be able to change the firmware.

Abi,

I have tried that the ssh session looked like this:

** Ruckus R720 Multimedia Hotzone Wireless AP: 3617xxxxxxx

rkscli: set factory
Factory defaults will take effect after reboot
OK
rkscli: reboot
Oops! "Reboot" is waiting for firmware update to finish....
OK

Then it rebooted and it's back to same version after factory and reboot:

rkscli: get version
Ruckus R720 Multimedia Hotzone Wireless AP
Version: 5.1.1.0.3048

EDIT:
This
AP behaves really strange to me... after I manually reset it using the
reset switch or the CLI as shown above, it "somehow" updates the
firmware and reboots once again and then I cannot login with the default
credentials anymore. If I scan the AP from the switch using LLDP it
shows such information:

System Name: Reception AP-3617xxxxxxxxx
System Description: Ruckus R720 Multimedia Hotzone Wireless AP/SW Version: 5.1.1.0.3048

Weird, eh?

Lesson is Don't Buy Used APs on Ebay!

This AP was obviously owned by a Ruckus Cloud customer... and it may not be legal if still registered to the Cloud.
