Hi all,

By accident (my son) my Sonos beam gen1 has been upgraded to the crap of s2 😩🤮

Now I'm trying to rollback to s1 but is not working.

Did somehow Sonos decided that it is not possible anymore to rollback?

Could someone help me pls

@jgatie, I don’t know how you are aware about this things, but for example on tasmota devices, since the RAM/storage is low, to upgrade the firmware you first load a minimal version e then you move to the new one. This could be a solution to the problem you exposed…

or maybe there are a 1000 other better solutions, but sonos has to free the old devices :)

What if the "new one" containing all the functionality needed to run Sonos is too big?

Ok, I think this discussion is going away from my first request.

All the rest is a philosophical discussion about ethic and so on 😉

It’s similar to changing socks while running. Assuming that the kernel is at least partially stored in RAM or that it is possible to rewrite the onboard PROM, if the new kernel is larger, the underlying software must be shrunk. This could mean decreased Playlist and Library Index space and it might mean shrinking the data cache that assists in riding through network communication stalls. This wound require substantial rework of the firmware for an ever shrinking NAS user base that is continuing with S1.

We don’t know the numbers. Since all of this effort would need to be financed by additional sales, I don’t know if there is the likelihood of enough new or lost sales to make a difference.

Downgrade to S1.

Downgrade to S1.

Thank you for the link.

The fact is that is missing the info that @Airgetlam gave me. 😉

I’m running Sonos S1 speakers from my MacBook Pro with Qfinder Pro Nas which needs SMB1. QNAP upgraded so that SMB1 is not default. Anyone know how I can change to SMB1?

Any advice gladly received.
