Blinking update exclamation mark is not stopping after updating

[Scott Elsdon]

Hi there, I've googled and searched this forum but cant locate any information on this hence the question.

I realise its cosmetic, but how do I get rid of the flashing exclamation mark telling me there is a firmware update.

I've updated twice now and this is still there. I have a RT-AC88U and moved to Merlin 384.9 this morning in a hope to rid this eye glue but after rebooting, its still blinking away.

I did have a Pi connected for PiHole using the USB port for power, but removed that to a dedicated power source. I thought the upgrade 384.2 after I removed that device would solve this one. but no, then I spied 384.9 this morning. Updated power cycle and its still blinking.

I'm assuming there is a flag or a buffer that needs purging, can anyone point me to where that is please ?

\S/

You don't need to go through code editing , just turn it off :

Yep, That doesn't work, i've tried telling the router to not alert, and to re alert for firmware a dozen times, with no change to the blinking exclamation mark, its still there flashing away.

Same here; I also tried to do the code as well and it has not stopped yet but will wait to see if it clears.

Edit: I finally got it to work; I am on 384.8_2 and don't want to update to 384.9 due to known issues so I used this code to set update off and put in an older version than what I am using.

nvram set webs_state_error=0
nvram set webs_state_flag=0
nvram set webs_state_info=384_8_0
nvram set webs_state_info_beta=384_8_beta2
nvram set webs_state_update=0
nvram commit

You can try this:

nvram set webs_state_error=0
nvram set webs_state_flag=0
nvram set webs_state_info=384_9
nvram set webs_state_update=1
nvram commit

Thank you, After puttyíng in and entering the commands the dammable thing has stopped flashing. Thank you for scratching my OCD.
