I tryed to update firmware

via Auto update, it goes trought all steps and reboots but it shows same version after all

MCU was updated fine thought.

I also tryed uploading manally but its says this:

if you need logs I will be happy to provide that, I just need little guidance from your side

Hello, may I ask if you started the firmware (System Image) upgrade and MCU upgrade at the same time?
If both upgrades were started simultaneously, it may cause one of the upgrade processes to fail.

Please open the following page again:
http://172.16.0.1/update

Then try Auto Upgrade once more and check whether the firmware version changes after the upgrade is completed.

hi,

No I did it separatelly.

I tryed autoupdated many times with different options, full vipe inclusive. After all update steps device reloaded with old r7720..

Yes! Flashing the firmware will erase all data on the device, so all previous settings will be lost. Please back up any important configurations before flashing.
