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

[m.yildiz]

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,

it reboots, with the normal image 8.3.143.0

it is still looking for an controller.

Anyone can help me in this issue?

             >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.

 M.

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.

Welcome to Cisco.

[Scott Fella]

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

Firmware is corrupted, according to the output posted.

[m.yildiz]

Hi

i downloaded few times from different laptop's.

All giving same issues.

Can anyone help please.

Since few days, trying to convert it. Please help

[marce1000]

 - Did you verify the integrity of the image intended for tftp download using md5sum ?

  M.

[Scott Fella]

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?

[m.yildiz]

Hi

i compared with online md5 hash Generator

onlinemd5.com

shows correct.

I cannot download other images, because no have contract.

very annoying.

please more help

[m.yildiz]

Is there anyone who can help me online, please

over teamviewer or anydesk.

Please

[shansfeldt]

Did you solve this issue? I have quite the same problem with upgrade to the latest Mobility Express SW (8.10.130.0) on a Cisco 2800 series AP.
