Hello Everyone,
Got a nice new shiny SSA3021X plus recently and decided to try to give it a boost. But now it's stuck somewhere between old and new. Hopefully someone can help me get it back into the original state or help it find a new life as an SVA.
Steps taken to attempt upgrade:
1. Successfully ran SSA3000X+_backup_11411.ADS and got a full backup.
2. Ran TV84's direct xflash SVA1032X_V3.2.2.4.0_11411.ADS, which seemed to work and rebooted.
However it's still an SSA3021X and the only change is I lost the TG option. Also the option names seem to have changed but I only looked at those briefly, just long enough to see the TG option was permanent before the "upgrade" so I may be wrong about the looking different.
Per the direct xflash instructions I tried it a second time but now it just runs for about a minute and returns to the file browser.
I was going to try to use electr_peter's steps to see if I could recover it or at least figure out what state is was in but I can't get telnet access.
1. Tried to run the telnet for the SSA3000 (SSA3000X+_telnet_11411.ADS) but this just says upgrading for about a minute then returns to the file browser and never opens telnet.
2. Tried to run the telnet for the SVA1000 (SVA1000X_telnet_11410.ADS) but this just does the same as the SSA3000 version.
(Not knowing exactly what the TV84 direct update does I'm not sure what product ID is now in use so I tried both.)
I've tried all the above a few times and between attempts I've powered off the unit and I've even tried unplugging it so I know it's getting a complete power down.
Current state:
Model SSA3021X Plus
Versions:
SW1 3.2.2.4.0
SW2 20201220-1
SW3 000000D4
HW 00.00.00
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Took another shot after dinner....
I realized that xflash had probably gone fine, I checked what modes were available and VNA, DtoF and others were greyed out.

Of course.... I had to finish the process of Step 5 from electr_peter.
Tried the SVA1000 telnet again, and of course it worked.

Quick run through of step 5 and all is good.
