Since years I try to update the firmware for an old USG110 but it never worked.

  • I made a hardware reset (reset button).
  • I have FW1: V4.10(AAPH.0) 2014-05-08 FW2: N/A
  • I downloaded FW from ftp://ftp.zyxel.com/USG110/firmware/: USG110_4.10(AAPH.1)C0, USG110_4.10(AAPH.2)C0 and USG110_4.11(AAPH.2)C0

When I try to upgrade the firmware by webpanel after the upload the USG try to boot and than it stucks. The LED is always blinking. Only reconnecting the power helps.

When I upload the FW bin with FTP the USG reboots but I still don't have the new firmware. Instead I have in log and on frontpage the message 'Previous firmware update failed!!'

It doesn't matter which of the above FW versions I try.

After 6 years we really need to update! What need I to do?

    Update:

    I tried today another form of update with USB stick. And after different tries and resets and reboots the firmware upgrade magically happens ;)

    It's strange because it was always the same bin file.

    However now I'm on 4.35. It's done :)

    Hi @FrankLauer

    Good to know that you had upgrade the firmware successfully.

    And yes it is strange if you were using the same bin file in different upgrading methods.

    It will be helpful if you have the console connected during the failure upgrading process.
