Hello All,

In December-2021 we bought a Zywall USG100-PLUS firewall VPN router, it worked fine for 10 days, after that it started to restart on its own every 15 or 20mins, I don't know what is the issue, also thought to update the firmware, but I am not able to find the firmware for the Zywall USG100-PLUSS, please do help me to resolve this issue, thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    I have a problem with update my USG-100Plus from this post. When I try to update firmware from 3.30(AACV.7)ITS-WK28-r72114 to the "USG 100-PLUS 330 AACV v3.30P9 (WK48)" process stopped.

    On the console displays:

    [Update Filesystem]
            Updating Filesystem
            [/util/zld_fsextract]

    and rotated slash.

    At this stage (slash rotated) very long time (one week) without any others actions. I was able to interrupt it only by turning off the power, after which the device does not boot with the message on the console:

    FLASH: AMD 16M

    BootModule Version: V1.17 | 12/01/2011 05:20:17
    DRAM: Size = 256 Mbytes

    Kernel Version: V2.6.25.4 | 2016-07-14 09:27:45
    ZLD Version: V3.30(AACV.7)ITS-WK28-r72114 | 2016-07-14 10:14:06

    Press any key to enter debug mode within 1 seconds.

           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

    I can restore the device via flashed the database only (firmware restore didn't help). After the restoration the device works normally with the all my old settings.

    I tried hardware reset device before upgrade - it didn't affect. What could be the reason and how can I flash the device?

    Hi @shani

    Greeting Forum, Please kindly try to hardware reset.

    Also we recommend that you replace your appliance due to security issues and performance concerns as USG100 has been end of service for a while.

    Thank you
