r7 image

Found these files for 218r7 from links posted below and reinstalled thru bios and all good again.
Remember rename bootstrap_250 to just bootstrap and put both files in a folder named mag250 or mag254 whichever you have
Load folder onto a FAT32 formatted usb stick.
Note I have only used this with a mag250.

Hi thanks for the download links. Just followed your instructions but every time I push OK in USB bootstrap menu for update it shows a message 'file mag250/imageupdate not present'
In bootstrap menu it says 'bootstrap partition absent'
Any ideas
Many thanks

hi you need to load usb bootstrap not bootstrap

Hi I tried another usb (new formated to fat32) but no luck.
I am using the rear usb port and have followed your original instructions but still getting the same problem.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated
I used the usb bootstrap
I also tried within the inner portal it showed me that r7 image was available but when pushed F1 to update it gave me a 'wrong signature' message. Maybe the image is corrupted? Can you pm me the image you used please many thanks.

Many thanks to toonmag for all your help. My mag250 is now running r7 and everything is perfect.
For those having problems try a new USB stick or an old one formatted using windows (for some reason when I used my mac it gave me the problems I posted above) Follow the OP's instructions exactly.

Hi

Follows instructions but the same image loads up even though it says the image has flashed successfully.

Its the blade version of the Mag250 with their software that has no portal option.

Can anyone help ?
