Solved: RV320 Latest Firmware 1.4.2.17 Will Not Load

Chet Prokop · ‎11-18-2017

The latest firmware for the RV320 posted Nov 17 as 1.4.2.17. I just downloaded and attempted to update to one of our bench RV320's running 1.4.2.15. After it uploaded to the router, it kicked back a dialog saying bad firmware.

Re-downloading resulted in the same message.

Would someone check to see if there's an error in the .bin build?

THanks

It appears Cisco re-uploaded the .bin fine for 1.4.2.17. It "does" load now.

The correct RV32X_v1.4.2.17_20171030-code.bin shows 35,628-KB size.

The earlier upload size was 26,282-KB.

Good catch and comments by others on this thread!

Would have been nice for Cisco to "ack" this. But at least it's corrected.

I have exactly same problem, after having huge problems with 1.4.2.15 (https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/small-business-routers/rv325-login-issue-after-upgrading-to-1-4-2-15/m-p/3200048#M34064).

I am not a specialist but I noticed something interesting: all FW versions for RV320 are way over 30 MB (34, 35, 36 and above).

The 1.4.2.17 is the only one under 30, is exactly 25.67 MB (a significant difference), which may indicate that they mounted a wrong version.

Very, very disappointed by cisco.
