ICX 7150-C12P Software Recovery times out when running the update commands to relaod images

RustyPipes68 — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 11:37:56 GMT

I've got the dreaded "won't-come-back-up-following-a-power-outage" issue, where I've been following the instructions to recover the software via https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-perform-a-Software-recovery-on-an-ICX7150-switch/td-p/47483

All aspects of the connectivity are fine. I am able to set IP addresses, and connect in.

Where this all fails is when running the three "update" commands, i.e. "update_primary", "update_secondary" and "update_uboot"

Although I have successful PING to my PC, when executing the updates, I see a series of "T" characters gradually spread across the screen, then I get a timeout message, with the suggestion that it is retrying, but immediately returns me to a command prompt.

I'm assuming therefore that the images are therefore corrupted? Please advise.

Thank you.

Thanks Imran, but I have managed to resolve my issue. I had to mesh knowledge from several of the articles to get a bootable image onto the switch so I could boot it properly so I could enable the UBS Disk0 commands, from where I could then copy over the appropriate images to flash and apply the relevant UFI upgrade. All good now, thanks.
