384.10 doesn't upgrade on RT-AC66U_B1

[KPUK]

So - tried twice now, from 384.9. Upgrade all seems to run fine, but either it's not actually performing the upgrade, or the version number in 384.10 is still showing the old version. After an upgrade and reboot, still shows 384.9.

Did you use RT-AC68U firmware? and remove any USB drive and reboot and try to upgrade again.

Yes, it's the RT-AC68U firmware I used (as always). I don't use any USB drives, so that's not the issue. I rebooted twice now and with two upgrade attempts. Still the same and CPU Core 1 is permanently on 100% - never ever drops under. I can try a third time, but can't see how this is going to help. Can I downgrade?

RT-AC66_B1. Been able to dirty flash using the RT-AC68U firmware from 384.8_2 to 384.10_beta1, then beta2, and final version. No issues that I've noticed.

Factory reset may be the answer. And format the jffs when that is done. Don't use saved settings except for certificates as the nvram may be full.

And I have it working now. So - tried twice (as above) with no success and Core 1 CPU stuck at 100%. Third time, I powered down for a couple of minutes, powered up again, did the flash once more and then powered down. On powering back up, it seems fine, CPU fine and it's showing the correct version.

Most odd - haven't had to do it this way previously.
