CSCvb25644 - AP3700 Randomly entering into continous boot loop due to Radio Fw image download error

ABM Networking
Level 1
Level 1

Does anyone know the work around for this? 

 

I can install any V7.x.x image and the AP works fine, install any 8.x.x image and the AP goes into the boot loop failing on the Radio FW Image download.

 

Tried updating the image via Rmon, is there a version I need to install to get this AP working with V8.2.151

Something is missing from this: What firmware is the AP running on or what firmware is the AP booting up to?

What is strange. Everything is working fine untli power is ON. I can reboot device many times without any problem. But if I unplug cable from device. Device going in to loop. Reason code is same: 44. 

Only what I can do, I put device to ROMMON mode delete one or two files form flash: and boot device manually by command 

set BOOT flash:ap3g2-k9w8-mx.153-3.JF10/ap3g2-k9w8-mx.153-3.JF10

After reboot, AP checking firmware file on controled and downloading again. and after, device booting ok,

Everthing is working fine , no issue with connection and clinets until next power off.

 

What happens if you force the AP to boot the RCV file (from ROMMON)?

I didn't test this. Always delete some one file from firmware catalog. And boot again.
