Flash error after checking update #18

Hi, dear dev.

Recently I met another device which is unable to update but with a strange response.

At first I thought it was the time, so I went into SSH and modified its time. However it still got error connecting to server.

Then I tried to host a update server and, it did work, but not for long. After triggering update, it did received the package information. Check pic. On the device it behaves like this: When I trigger update, the device-side responses that it's downloading file, yet after few seconds it stopped and showed ERROR: error updating. Please check following pic. image

Then I tried force flashing the device with the tools under extractor/. The environment is a Ubuntu 21.10 server in VMWare Workststion 16, on Windows 10. I extracted the firmware then bash push.sh out into the device. I entered the ssh password as instructed, and no error was shown. Yet after rebooting the device, it's still the original version.

Thus I'm confused if there's something wrong with this device.

It would be nice if you could please offer some help.

Thanks and have a good life :))

After setting the hostname to IP on remote server the device it able to update.

But still confused why that device is unable to update via the extractor method. Theoretically it should be working in any condition.
