Do I need to update the new software? Version 1.9.1?
Why didn't the original flash work, but your wonderful one brought the device back to life?

RTLPlayground is an open source alternative firmware, it has nothing to do with the OEM firmware.
As I wrote before, there are multiple cases of SWGTW218AS switches which "die" after one or 2 years, because the access to the flash doesn't work reliably with OEM firmware. RTLPlayground uses a more reliable method.

Please read the documentation. It's all there.

Well, you can reflash the OEM firmware again with your programmer, but if this OEM firmware doesn't work, it makes no sense.
Other options you have:
- Solder another flash chip, eg a Winbond W25Q16, W25Q32 or similar
- Use the unmanaged version of the firmware, from here: SWTG118AS/dumps/SWTG118AS-v1.0 at main · up-n-atom/SWTG118AS
I would just use the RTLPlayground firmware.
And of course you can contribute in translating the Web-INterface. Just raise an issue on logicog/RTLPlayground and discuss it with the developers. You probably need a github-account for that,
You have to compile yourself, point your browser to the firmware update page and upload the new binary.
The binary I compiled is just the latest version of this evening. No need to do another update yet.
Reset button will work after Add button handling with the possibility to revert to default settings by feelfree69 · Pull Request #127 · logicog/RTLPlayground has been merged to the main branch.

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask for some clarification regarding an issue with the SKS3200M-8GPY1XF device.
I have experienced unexpected firmware corruption on this device. In my case, the unit went through several sudden power losses in a short period of time. After that, it entered a fast LED blinking mode and would not boot properly.
I have now determined that the M25Q16A flash memory chip lost part of its firmware.
My questions are:
Another question that came to my mind:
If I desolder the M25Q16A chip and replace it with a brand-new one of the same type, would that solve the issue? Would I then be able to install the original manufacturer firmware without problems?
I am looking forward to your suggestions and explanations.
Thank you in advance.

I have now determined that the M25Q16A flash memory chip lost part of its firmware.
My questions are:
- Why does this happen?
- Does this mean the flash chip is physically damaged?
- If I was able to reprogram the chip with alternative (open-source-based) firmware and the device started working normally again, does that mean the chip itself is still good?
- Why, on the other hand, does the device go into LED blinking mode when I program it with the original manufacturer firmware?

I already tried to explain it to you in simple words.
If you want to go deeper, please read Mokerlink 8+1 Switch with defective Flash / SoC ? · Issue #70 · logicog/RTLPlayground
But if the degradation happens on the SoC side (RTL8373), it will likely fail too.
Try it out and tell us your result.

If the flash chip degradation is the root-cause, it will likely solve the problem (for another year or two).
But if the degradation happens on the SoC side (RTL8373), it will likely fail too.
Try it out and tell us your result.

I have an SWTG118AS-V2 board on hand. Currently, none of the Ethernet LEDs are lit, only the SYS light is blinking, which is the same situation many people on the forum have encountered. I used a C...

Nope. This image kills my switch
After upgrading via web from V100.9.6 up to V200.1.10 I get following output
And no ping replies (
Devices with Firmware 1.9.x, 100.9.x and 200.x.x are all incompatible with each other.
Yes, seems so. I already have some statistics
My device is SKS3200-8E1X-P Managed POE 8x2.5G 1xSFP+ HW ver. 1.0 (and v1.2 mark on pcb)
- I tryed to load v1.9 and v1.9.1 with CH341 progger - works good with encuid2 -a0 key, though I've found only non-poe versions of fw
- Then I tryed V100.9.5 and V100.9.6 posted in this thread - also works good, but require encuid2 -a1 OTP key swap
- Also tryed v100.9.21 and v100.9.25 runtime, both of them for HW ver 3.1 - and as expected didn't work with my device
- And finally I tryed to upload V200.1.10 firmware, this also bricks my switch.
The factory image on my device was v100.9.9
If someone have it, I would appreciate
Thanks
