Upgrade from fork to Merlin

[Preskitt.man]

Went to upgrade my AC68U from the latest fork code 374.43.2-17E8j9527 to Merlin's latest 380.59. It was seeming to proceed normally - "thermometer" went through entire cycle and took about 3 minutes - and then screen refreshed and I was still on the fork code. No error messages were displayed. System log doesn't indicate anything funky:

Any ideas?

Prior to V18, you need to do an intermediate firmware step to move to the latest Merlin. You can
Load ASUS 376.3626 or Merlin 378.55 first (this will also update your CFE if needed)
or
Load the fork V18B1 or V18B9 first (if your CFE is already updated)

Then load the 380.59 Merlin, and do a factory reset.

Thanks - installing 378.55 first and then 378.59 solved my problem.
