5508 IOS downgrade problem

Hello,
I have an existing 4404 setup that I need to migrate all the AP’s over to a new 5508 setup.  I also need zero downtime in my setup.  I purchased two new 5508 controllers that I will join to the mobility group, move the ap’s, and then setup in a master/slave setup.
The Problem:
The two 5508 came with IOS 7.2.103 while the 4404 is on 7.0.116.  I have downloaded, multiple times the 7.0.116 code and tried to apply on the 5508 without success.  I keep getting a signature failure followed by the “TFTP Failure while storing in Flash!” message. 
Troubleshooting so far:
Tried both controllers
Tried downloading the IOS again, on different computers.
Used TFTP program from SolarWinds and tftpd32
Tried different cables, different ports.  Tried from GUI and CLI both.
Tried to downgrade to 7.0.235 instead.
Always the same message.  What am I missing?
Thanks,
Todd

did you use 7.0.116.0 code for 5508 or trying with 4400 code - This may give signature failure.
is there a specific reason to use 7.0.116.0 code on 5500.
WLC-5500>show boot - Do you see software code other than 7.2.103.0
To eliminate signature and flash errors try superimposing 7.2.103.0 code on 5500 WLC.
Also, try upgrading the FUS image if not already to be sure that flash is not corrupted.
i'd RMA if none works.

  • Anchor mobility configuration getting lost in wlc 5508 ios code 7.4.100.0

    It is observed that in WLC 5508 , ios 7.4.100.0 ,  mobility anchor configuration on wlan  is getting lost .  we configure anchor ip address on  guest wlan > mobility anchor >  Switch IP Address (Anchor).
    We have configured the template on NCS 2.0 to push the anchor mobility ip address on all WLC
    Has anyone oberved this behavoiur. We have more than 100 WLC  , and  everyweek  mobility anchor configuration is lost on some WLC having code  7.4.100.0.

    I am having this exact same problem.  I am running 7.3 on 5508 WLC.   My remote site LAP's are using Flex (HREAP).  The initial access point that my laptop associates to connects with no problem, as soon as I wander out of range of the initial LAP and into the area of another access point, I lose data connectivity.   The was validated like the original post as I start a constant ping on the LAN and watch as the ping latency increases and then ping replies stop.  The only way to correct the problem is resetting of the wireless adapter on the laptop.  Side note my DroidX has no problem wandering from AP to AP.
    Laptop: Windows 7 32bit
    I then returned to my home site and test where I have a secondary controller and the LAP's are configured for local mode, no problems roaming from access point to access point.   Validated with constant ping test.  The pings drop for a second and re-
    continues as the laptop reconnects.

  • IOS 5 problems [reply all problems HERE]

    Please reply all iOS 5 problems here so Apple can read them and fix.
    my iOS 5 problem is that I can't listen my music on iphone.
    when i click play nothing happens.

    Yesterday, I wanted to update both my iPhone 4 and our iPad to ios 5 and boy this turned out to be a 5 hour affair with only the iPhone successfully installed. Initially, I had to update my iTunes to 10.5 which requested a PC reboot. Coincidentally Microsoft also had 8 updates requiring installation when I rebooted - already 45 mins lost. With iTunes 10.5 successfully installed, we then proceeded to install ios 5 on the iPad. The software downloaded OK (700MB plus and lots of activity on the Apple servers), the download speeds were slow. OK, an hour later and now ready to install, except there was an error after error after ........error message, all completely meaningless and then something about not being able to make contact with the Apple servers to verify ..... whatever.
    Against my better judgement, now tried to install ios 5 on my iPhone 4. And again, the 700MB download (another 60 mins), backup of the iPhone and then installation and then for some reason the restore was interrupted/continued three to four times. Sometimes the Apple device lost connection with my laptop (was the cable faulty? Never before...., sometimes an uninitiated reboot was required (and not requested) to keep things moving along.
    Apple, are you there? What went wrong? We're just as devasted as you all are that Steve is no longer around but is this a tribute? This kind of performance is what Microsoft provided a decade ago! Is this good enough?

  • HT201320 setting up mail in ios 6 problems

    While setting up mail on my iphone 5, the account (Both gmail and Yahoo) gets stuck on "adding account" and eventually times out.  I have had 3 iPhones prior, iPads and have never had this problem before.  Is it an ios 6 problem??? Thanks!

    Perhaps you have a corrupted Mail preferences file.  If you are familiar with using the command line from the Terminal application, I would suggest you try this:
    plutil -lint /Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    My file was fine, so I received this response:
    /Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist: OK
    Your results may vary if the plist file for Mail on your machine contains syntax errors.

  • Jobs, why iOS downgrade is not allowed?

    Why iOS downgrade is not allowed?
    Recently I upgraded iPad to 4.3.3 from 3.2.2 with these bugs:
    - Html font size is not supported for movie title.
    - Photo album name is not the date when importing the pictures by camera tool kit
    - Portable AP (connect to LAN port) is not able to connect any more.
    Then I try to perform the downgrade to 3.2.2, but unfortunately iTunes doesn't like me to do that.
    Jobs, may I ask you why you don't let your iOS users to choose any version they like even they don't have the JB intention.

    Steve Jobs doesn't read this forum. Nobody here can answer why Apple has this policy.

    This won't work and you'll see from the error message.  Your standby WLC has a particular firmware loaded with LDPE enabled.  So first, you need to answer if you need LDPE or not.   
    Both firmwares has to match, including LDPE.  If you need LDPE, the your primary has to be loaded with LDPE before you can proceed.  If you don't need LDPE, then you need to downgrade the secondary to non-LDPE version before you can proceed.

  • IOS 7 problems with ipad 3

    Hi everybody, and thanks for your help in advance. I feel like, since downloading ios 7, that my ipad loads web pages slower (rebooting SEEMS to help) and youtube streaming is much slower or just doesn't happen. This is an inconsistent problem so I don't know if it's just the website, or what. Who else has had this problem, is it a beta problem in general, and did you find anything to fix it.
    Thanks again.

    I don't know what iPad version you own, but I can confirm that many users (especially earlier versions) have experienced slowups as a result of iOS7.
    Apple doesn't allow you to downgrade your iTunes, so your only option is to disable the biggest offenders.

  • IOS - iCal problem - Events appear as "all-day" whereas they shouldn't

    See below a conversation I had with a service provider.
    There is a bug in iOS when dealing with events in UTC times.
    Any solution to this?

    Hi,
    I noticed a small problem with a calendar to which I subscribed on my iphone.
    Events that are configured to last from 6.30pm to 7.30pm appears as Full-day events on iOs.
    Thank you for reporting this issue. We're aware that IOS sometimes
    misinterprets the iCal files we provide. It appears that it is reading
    the times properly (as seen in the event detail and grid views), but is
    mislabeling the events as all-day in the list view. Is this what you're
    seeing?
    Thank you
    Michael
    Exactly.
    In the event's details, times are OK, but in the listing, event appears as all-day.
    But why only for 6.30 to 7.30? When i change times to 5.30 to 6.30, it shows fine.
    It appears to be related to the interpretation of time-zone information. We provide the game times in UTC format and count on your device's calendar program to make the appropriate adjustments for the local time zone. When the provided UTC times span two days (e.g. 11:30pm - 12:30 am, before time zone adjustment), IOS seems to mislabel the event as "all-day".
    Thank you.

    Does this problem still occur with iOS8?

  • Iphone 6 + iOS 8 problems. Halp!

    I own an iPhone 6 + 64gb. It was installed with iOS 8 and worked fine for a small period of time.
    But, unexpectedly, landscape mode stopped working for the iPhone settings menu, the weather app and the home screen and some others apps.
    Videos still work in landscape and so do messages, notes, photos, calendar, Maps, calculator, contacts, etc. So the problem seems to be a bit random.
    I add that I did not leave the orientation lock button on.
    The view I chose when I first powered my iPhone is zoomed and it hasn't been changed ever since. (so in a nutshell, landscape mode worked fine and now it's not)
    I installed iOS 8.0.2 and it didn't solve the issue.
    Apart from that, I used to have tabs in Safari just below the search / URL bar (like on an iPad)... I could switch easily by tapping the tab I wanted but now they're gone.
    Finally, I used a save from my iPhone 4 so I managed to keep 4 years' worth of messages. But unfortunately, these messages can't be searched for in Spotlight. Only the new ones I sent and received with my iPhone 6+. Is that normal?
    I feel like Apple is starting to act like MS and is using their customers as beta testers.
    Can anyone help ?

    Ok, just updated my phone
    Apparently the Messages search has been fixed...
    Still having troubles with some apps which won't use landscape mode when they should but overall iOS 8.1 has received noticeable improvements

  • Ipad 2 with IOS 6 problems with apps and battery

    Ok, I had updated my iPad the day of or day after the IOS 6 came out and at first I had no problems with it. Except now, for some reason I am starting to have problems with different apps and with the battery life.  First off within 15 minutes, it went down to almost 90% charge with it being a full charge and me hardly using any apps and closing the ones I wasn't using (which was just safari and Facebook open). But the problem I have been having is that I cannot chat with my friends on the Facebook app now because it will show its loading the chat box and then freeze up.  With pages and numbers, they seem to take longer than usual to load up which is around 10 seconds or so before I can do anything.  I had uninstalled and reinstalled the apps with no effect and tried restarting my iPad. It also seems like my iPad is taking longer to shut down and turn on than usual even though i make sure all the apps are closed before turning it off.  (the location services, bluetooth, notifications, FaceTime, messages, and limit ad tracking is all turned off to help with battery life and i don't use them.)Is there any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem? 

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Logic Remote issues after updating to iOS 8, problem solved!

    Has anyone else has been experiencing connectivity issues with Logic Remote after updating to iOS 8?
    After updating to iOS 8 I could no longer connect so I sent a feedback report to Apple and got a response that cleared up my problem immediately:
    Navigate to the following directory on your desktop system running GarageBand:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    You can quickly navigate there using the “Go” menu in Finder -> Go To Folder (shift-command-G), then copy this path:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    In the Preferences folder should be a file named "com.apple.garageband10.cs”.
    Make sure GarageBand is not running and delete the  "com.apple.garageband10.cs” file.
    Relaunch GarageBand and see if you should now be able to connect.
    The same can be done for Logic by navigating to:
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    And deleting "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" and restarting Logic.
    Note that doing this will fix Logic Remote connectivity issues (and possibly other problems with latency and mixer functionality)  but will also delete any other Controller settings that you've configured with Logic, if you happen to be using another controller of some sort.

    Note: Removing the CS (Controller Surface) plist is a part of the basic troubleshooting procedures for Logic Pro (and GB)
    See section #8
