How to Downgrade Ruckus T300 from Unleashed to Standalone

david_henriques

Hello,

I would like to know how to downgrade my ruckus T300 from unleashed mode to standalone mode.

I have the ruckus in the most recent unleashed firmware but now i want to do a test moving back to standalone mode.

I am trying to downgrade using CLI commands:

enable

debug

apfw_upgrade

It starts to downloading the patch but after some seconds gives an error.

The standalone firmware that i am using its this one: T300_110.0.0.0.2005.bl7

The ruckus in unleashed mode looks weird because i cannot upgrade via the web browser does not show the AP.

Please disregard my comment above: I pasted in the wrong procedure. This is the CLI procedure to update the Standalone firmware to another version of the Standalone firmware.

To downgrade from Unleashed to Standalone, I did this according to my notes from a couple of weeks ago:

1) Create a local control file called "fwctl"

[rcks_fw.main]
<TFTP_IP_Address>
<Firmware_File_Name>
<File_Size_in_Bytes>

2) Host on TFTP server in same directory as the firmware image

3) ssh <AP_IP_Address>

4) enable
5) ap-mode
6) fw set control fwctl
7) fw set proto tftp
😎 fw set host <TFTP_IP_Address>
9) fw update

10) ssh <AP IP address>

11) set factory

12) reboot

Sorry about the confusion above. I hope this one works out for you instead. 🙂

@ryan_winland Thanks for the reply Ryan!

I have a question regarding creating the rcks_fw.main

david_henriques

But now i am having an issue with the compatible firmware to downgrade to Standalone.

I am using this fw version = T300_110.0.0.675.bl7

But when i try to upgrade gives this error:

I think the file size specified in the configuration file and size of the file received do not match (i.e. hdr_fsize=10969088 vs real_fsize=163840). Please make sure the firmware images passes checksum verification and that the exact file size in bytes is specified in the configuration file. Also, please ensure that the network connection between the TFTP server and the AP is rock-solid.

I will try this thanks!
