SRX

Hi Joseph

I believe its due to middle of upgrade or improper power down cause loader file to corrupt,

you need to upgrade the loader file and U-boot via TFTP.

Could you send me a guide how to resolve this thanks

it says i need to break startup, how do i do this if it bootloops

cant seem to get into any command mode to input tftp address

Do you get a prompt where you an interupt the loop before it repeats?

If so what prompt are you at?

Do you have another SRX240 you can use to create a bootable usb for recovery?

You can insert a usb and run a snap shot to the usb.

then boot this device from that usb and run a install with format to the internal drive from there

so when i turn it on it gets to 

U-Boot 1.1.6-JNPR-2.4 (Build time: Aug 31 2012 - 12:15:03)

SRX_240H2 board revision major:2, minor:9, serial #: ACKV4878
OCTEON CN5230R-SCP pass 2.0, Core clock: 600 MHz, DDR clock: 333 MHz (666 Mhz data rate)
DRAM: 2048 MB
Starting Memory POST...
Checking datalines... OK
Checking address lines... OK
Checking 512K memory for U-Boot... OK.

it hangs here and loops 

but no prompt is shown, i do have another srx240 which works, how do i use create a bootable usb and snapshot from the other srx240

HI Joseph,

You coudl use the command below to create a snapshot and then boot the SRX from that USB.

request system snapshot partition media usb

done that now how do i make the broken one read the usb

created a image with the good srx but how do i boot usb as no prompt before it loops 

took it apart took internal battery out which cleared dram now in db mode?

how do i install off usb

solved the problem had to take the cover off seemed to fix crc which i had a funny idea it was that

Thanks for the update.  Seems a strange physical problem then would have been a long time before I guessed that.
