It seems like I am stuck at the first step of downgrading the firmware. How come after completing the mtd-write2, no error given by the execution and performing nvram, I still have the latest TM firmware? Reactions: simurg. From instructions, I expected it to work but I guess I am unlucky. Anyhow, the issue was that my drive name was causing the script to be too long. When I was reading the instructions, I noticed that.

Finally upgraded to the latest version. It worked fine. I found the firmware on Softpedia. Goatsac Junior Member. Feb 6, 1 0 6.
