Firmware updates

Q&A and troubleshooting

Good day,

I just read, someone had troubles wit the v555 on the Multiplus-II.

My situation is following:

I can not connect to VRM because I am in a GSM/4G hole with my installation hence I usually update via VictronConnect App.

However, my system is running stable since quiet a while, but the App show me since month that an Update is availlable.

NEVER CHANGE A RUNNING SXSTEM!

OK, as already mentionef in another topic, the (current) saved config is NOT compatible with NEW updates and I had to learn this the hard way. I was 2 days without 230V but fortunately 80% of my Farm is 24V DC based.

Question:

How can I convert the saved Backup to a new version to get my settings back?

The Linux and Windows config software, does not recognise the backups.

Thanks in advance
Michelle

The manual is always a good place to start, the only process is documented in the remote vebus update guide:

When it really goes wrong, recovery can only really be done locally with manual tools like veflash, with a USB adapter and then manually reprogramming.
Another good reason not to update remote sites.
