m.yildiz — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 18:47:41 GMT

Dear Community Members,

I have Air-Ap2802-e-k9, somehow i cannot convert it to mobility express.

i have downloaded over tftp the tar image, it downloads, but it does not converts,

>but it does not converts,

- Please elaborate, post for instance an 'operator log' of the initial convert command (startup) given and the resulting output/processing. For instance via putty.log or screenshot - full log is advisable so that also the end can be seen.

Download the image again and also check the hash to make sure the image is not corrupt. You can always try a different image also and once you get it up and running, then upgrade.

You try a different t image maybe like 8.5 just to see if you can convert.

Re: Cisco Air-Ap2802I-E-K9 cannot convert to Mobility Express

Scott Fella — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 13:32:33 GMT

What tool are you using to verify the hash after downloading the file. Also, have you tried other images like 8.5 or 8.8?

Re: Cisco Air-Ap2802I-E-K9 cannot convert to Mobility Express

m.yildiz — Wed, 04 Mar 2020 14:30:02 GMT

i compared with online md5 hash Generator

onlinemd5.com

shows correct.

I cannot download other images, because no have contract.

very annoying.

Hi all, I have the same issue.

I downloaded the last ME version.

Upgraded CAPWAP version to a newer than 8.3 (as indicated in literature).

Used MD5 Hash to verify images and it is OK for both.

TFTP load passed 100% and when the process begins the process to change to ME it fails. (corrupted image, no space or something)

Re: Cisco Air-Ap2802I-E-K9 cannot convert to Mobility Express

m.yildiz — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 13:53:19 GMT

You have to go

from 8.3 to 8.5 and then up.

you cannot upload from 8.3 to 8.10

step by step

will solve the issue

Hi,

Does anyone have 8.3 or rather AIR-AP2800-K9-ME-8-3-150-0.tar

This is the only one that is below 50mb which fits the flash. My contract wont allow me to download the older ones.

File image was downloaded from Cisco page. No idea where from to get not corrupted img.

I have one clue: image transfer (via tftp) was always successfull, until once I commanded "reload" from CLI after a succesful writing. Since that time, any next attempt to flash is "corrupt". Maybe that's the reason?
