WLSE VxWorks to IOS Conversion Failure

Has anyone noted a failure on the VxWorks to IOS Conversion that yeilds a results of no ability to log into the Access Point via Browser?
Telnet works, as well as direct Console connection.
Second is the browser access functions, but requests a logon/password, and fails every attempt with all known Logon/Passwords? Note, all accounts are functional when accessing Telet and/or Console Port.
Any Issues with the Conversion Template in WLSE?

Follow-Up for "rmushtag". Do you have a back channel EMail addy. I have a follow-up question I'd rather take off-line.
Thanks

Cisco AP350 Vxwork to IOS Conversion

Hi,
I'm trying to convert my cisco 350 from VxWorks to IOS. In the middle of uploading I received an error. Unable to detect source AP: Check: 1. Network connectivity, 2. User's Capability and 3. Whether SNMP is enabled in the source AP. However I'm unable to connect back to the AP using the browser interface. I also tried using the IPSU tool to get the IP address from the MAC address and that return a message "Device does not answer." Is there any other way to connect to the AP and reconfigure it? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Not sure what status screen you are referring to but if you follow the procedure below verbatim, you should be able to recover it.
Recover from a Failure
The menu that displays after the boot process is the VxWorks bootloader, which is functionally equivalent to ROM monitor (ROMmon) in Cisco IOS Software. Neither of the full operating systems is loaded or available, so neither of the full command sets is available.
Note: If the VxWorks bootloader has been upgraded to Cisco IOS Software ROMmon but Flash memory has no operating system available, the unit displays the ap: prompt. In order to recover from this condition, refer to the Using the MODE button section in the Troubleshooting chapter of the Configuration Guide.
Use these steps to restart the conversion process and get the unit back up:
1.
If there is an 802.11a radio module installed (AIR-RM20A), remove it during the rest of this procedure.
2.
Verify that the connection settings in the terminal application are 9600-8-None-1 and NO flow control (not hardware or software).
3.
Format the Flash memory for the unit to accept the VxWorks upgrade image:
1.
Press Ctrl-Z in order to bring up the hidden Format menu.
2.
Press exclamation point (!, Shift-1) in order to choose Format.
3.
Press 3 in order to choose Flash memory.
Note: 3 is usually the choice for Flash memory. But you may have to enter a different number, which depends on your setup.
4.
Press Y (Shift-y) in order to confirm the decision to reformat the Flash memory.
The reformat takes a few moments, after which the bootloader menu appears again.
4.
Transfer the upgrade image onto the AP.
Complete these steps in order to start the transfer of the upgrade image:
1.
Press l (lowercase L) in order to put the AP into receive mode.
The file transfer protocol appears, and characters scroll across the line as the unit waits for data to flow to it.
2.
In Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal, choose Transfer > Send.
3.
Choose an appropriate file transfer protocol.
4.
Browse to the location of the AP1200-Cisco-IOS-Upgrade-Image-v3.img file on the hard drive.
5.
Select the AP1200-Cisco-IOS-Upgrade-Image-v3.img file and click Send.
When the file transfer is complete, the bootloader menu appears again. A file list also appears, which shows that the files that are compressed inside of the AP1200-Cisco-IOS-Upgrade-Image-v3.img file are now located in DRAM in the AP.
5.
Transfer the files to Flash with the copy process.
Note: The files must be in Flash memory.
Complete these steps:
1.
Press c in order to copy.
2.
Press 3 in order to choose the Flash memory as the destination.
3.
Choose the appropriate option for each of the files that are listed in DRAM.
4.
Repeat Steps 5a through 5c (the c ... 3 ... file option cycle) for each of the files that are in DRAM.
Each time that you repeat the cycle, the bootloader menu and file list appear and show the progress of file copies from DRAM into Flash memory.
6.
Power cycle the AP.
The upgrade proceeds as expected. During a successful upgrade, you see output that is similar to this:
flashfs[0]: Checking block 25...bad block number (-1)
flashfs[0]: erasing block 25...done.
flashfs[0]: Checking block 26...bad block number (-1)
flashfs[0]: erasing block 26...done.
flashfs[0]: Checking block 27...bad block number (-1)
flashfs[0]: erasing block 27...done.
7.
After the upgrade finishes successfully, reinstall the RM20A as needed.

Any chance to fix it?

How can I manualy decompress .img file?

IOS conversion from VxWorks 12.03

I have heard a rumor that you can not update to IOS from VxWorks 12.03. YOu have to go back down to 12.02 and then upgrade from there......Does this rumor have any merit?
Thanks

There is merit to the rumor. Cisco does not recommend performing an IOS conversion on a 12.03T VxWorks AP because of a problem with the flash overwrite. It's possible that the conversion may be successful, but there is a chance of it resulting in a non-recoverable situation.

pdf pack will not create a pdf from a tiff file conversion failure Why

Hi David Turner,
What is the exact error message which you are facing while converting the file from .tiff format to PDF format.
As per my knowledge, PDF Pack supports conversion from .tiff format to PDF Format -Different File formats that Adobe PDF Pack supports.

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.

Cannot upgrade 1200AP from VxWorks to IOS

I am having problems upgrading two 1200 APs from Cisco 1200 Series AP 12.03T VxWorks to IOS using the CAC Tool. Originally all eight of my units were at Cisco 1200 Series AP 12.02T and I successfully upgraded six of them to IOS, but these two have been giving me problems. I thought I would upgrade the VxWorks to 12.03T and try again, and the VxWorks upgrade went fine through the AP web interface. The CAC tool upload of the IOS upgrade image, however, fails everytime, and if I telnet to the APs when I am doing the upgrade I get a message saying the TFTP started, but in a few seconds it times out. The APs do have over 5.5 MB of free RAM, so that is not a problem.
Should I try to FTP the image to the AP, and if so, how ? I am not concerned about saving any settings on the AP as I can restore them from my AP management software.
Thakns for any ideas,
Shivaji

In order to run the upgrade process, the AP must have at least 4 MB of DRAM available. Issue the :vxdiag_memshow VxWorks command, at the prompt of a console or of a Telnet session, in order to display the amount of free DRAM.
In order to increase free DRAM, you must terminate noncritical processes or temporarily disable other resources (like a second radio). Try some or all of these actions in order to increase free DRAM:

Conversion failure

Got a error message of "conversion failure" from a PDF to word, what are next steps in trouble lshooting?

How can I assist? Are you still experiencing trouble? Would you like me to take a look at your document for you?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Convert pdf to word error message "conversion failure", where can I find out more info why conversion failed?

I tried each of the available exportformats: .doc, .docx, .xls, .rtf. None of them worked, which only the message "conversion failure".

Hi bergmanc,
It sounds like there may be an issue with the file that you're trying to convert. Have you tried to convert other files? If so, are they converting without error?
Please tell me a little more about the file that you're trying to convert. For example, what is its file size, how many pages does it have, are there lots of graphics, or a mix of fonts? If the file is complex, it may be that the ExportPDF service is timing out before it can complete the conversion process. It also possible, that the PDF may not be written properly, if t was created by a third-party appellation.
You can simplify the conversion process by disabling OCR as described here: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community (but this solution isn't optimal if the PDF was created from a scanned document.)
Please let us know a bit more about your file, and we'll see what we can figure out.

Why do i always get conversion failure when converting pdf files to xls in exportpdf program?

I have had export pdf for months. I cannot export pdf files to excel files. It always says conversion failure. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I am so frustrated! This was supposed to make my payroll reports easier, but it has not helped at all.

Hi denise/sharon,
I can understand your frustration. Are you converting via the ExportPDF website, or from within Adobe Reader? Does the conversion failure occur every time that you try to convert a file (has it ever worked for you)?
Since you're talking about payroll, I'm assuming that you're accessing ExportPDF from a corporate computer. You may want to check with your IT department to make sure there are no firewall/proxy settings that limit your access to the Internet.
Also, make sure that you're using a supported web browser. You can find a list here: System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services
Finally, if you're using Reader, you can try disabling OCR (optical character recognition) by following the steps in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Please let us know how it goes.

Conversion failure when using PDF Pack to convert a publisher file

Up until the last few months, I used acrobat 8 to convert my church's newsletter from Publisher to PDF for posting on our church website. When we switched to Windows 8 in January my Acrobat 8 couldn't be installed. We just registered for the PDF pack with the yearly subscription fee and I have tried twice to convert our most recent newsletter. Both time the conversion failed with the second time sending the message that the file was too complex or too large to convert.
What do I need to do to make Acrobat XI as least as capable as Acrobat 8 in converting publisher files?

Hi eec hampton,
Adobe PDF Pack and Acrobat XI are two different things. PDF Pack is an online service, whereas Acrobat XI is a much more current version of the Acrobat that you had on your computer until recently.
There is a file size limit to the files that you convert with PDF Pack (100MB), but even when a file falls below that file size, the complexity of the file (how much text and graphics, and so on) can cause conversion failure. (You could be dealing with bandwidth issues, for example, as the file is uploaded to the Internet for conversion.)
One option it to convert smaller portions of the newsletter. You can also download a free 30-day trial of Acrobat XI from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html, and convert your publisher document using that.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

File conversion failures

Trying to combine pdf files to a single file and get file conversion failure. What's wrong?

All are pdf files saved or converted from word. I've been able to convert several other files. I have also systematically tried to leave out one file and combine the rest (total 6 files). Any way to determine which file is the problem.

Using the Export to PDF online service, I get "Conversion Failure" error message; why?

Using the Export to PDF online service, I get "Conversion Failure" error message; why?
The documen t was originally created with Word (*.doc) then printed to PDF format; now I need to convert back to Work, but I get the "Conversion Failure" error message, both on conversion back to *.Doc format and attempt to convert to *.docx format.

Hi lfordlaw,
How large is the PDF that you're trying to convert? How did you generate the PDF from Word (did you use Acrobat, or Word's built-in PDF generator)? What version of Word are you using?
The answers to those questions should help us get to the bottom of things.
In the meantime, please try the following:
Clear the browser cache and log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Try a different web browser (see System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services for a list of supported browsers).
Try to convert a different file (if you can convert another file without error, the one you're receiving the error on may be damaged).
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Converting a PDF to Word- Conversion Failure

Everytime I try and convert a PDF from Reader and/or wwwcloud.acrobat.com it keeps coming back with a conversion failure?
Any Help?

Hi rusell1234,
Does the error occur with a specific PDF file, or with any file that you try to convert? Can you tell us a bit more about the file(s) that you're converting--how many pages, what sort of content it has (text/graphics/fonts).
For starters, please clear the browser cache and try again, or try converting from a different web browser. And, make sure that Reader is up-to-date by choosing Help > Check for Updates.
Please let us know how it goes.
