Hi

So i am trying to upgrade a IR809 - firmware Version 15.7(3)M2 - and going to ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.159-3.M1.bin

I get a timeout

bundle install flash:ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.159-3.M1.bin
Installing bundle image: /ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.159-3.M1.bin.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The semaphore timeout period has expired.

anyone seen this problem before?

Hi Niklas, did you ever find a solution to this? I'm running into this exact issue now as well.

Hi Yes i made a TAC case out of it.

And you will need to make a on preem installation.

You need to extract the files from "ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.159-3.M4.bin" so you get this

ir800-hv.srp.SPA.3.1.21

ir800-ref-gos.img.1.14.0.6
ir800-universalk9-mz.SPA.159-3.M4
MANIFEST
ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.159-3.M4.bin

Upload them to the router.

Then change the boot

conf t

no boot system

boot system flash:/ir800-universalk9-mz.SPA.159-3.M4

boot system flash:/ir800-universalk9-mz.SPA.157-3.M2

After this you need access with console

reboot it and break it accessing rommon-1 ,crtl + c to break at boot up.

then boot with the new file

boot flash:ir800-hv.srp.SPA.3.1.21

(this will not install the new firmware)

This will boot in to the new firmware, when booted in preform a install of the new firmware:

bundle install flash:ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.159-3.M4.bin

After the reload check if was a succes with

sh platform nvram

Environ setting

Amazing! Thanks Niklas!

This worked for me.

Interestingly, because I initially had a successful install (but then deleted the mz.SPA file like a moron), it seems to be up on the new IOS version after the ROMMON-1> boot flash:.... command.
