How to upgrade Cyberoam CR100ing to SFOS XG home edition in 2023?

hi
I have a Cyberoam CR100ing firewall (1.6.3 MR-4) in my hands that I got from my previous job and I plan to install the new Sophos XG home edition OS on it since it is the most compatible with the hardware today. What happens is that the Cyberoam cr100ing ended its life cycle years ago, so apparently it is impossible to update its firmware with the official Cyberoam website, which does not exist today. There is another method that I found, which is to update it via USB with a cable. console using Putty, I have found a tutorial to do it by that means where it starts via serial cable and with a speed of 38400 but even so the OS remains halfway loaded to load the image in rufus to the USB with DD image type .

What other solution can I give to update Cyberoam and have my own homemade firewall?

Hi, the current versions of XG will not work with 2gb of ram, you need a minimum of 4gb. Ian

Ok, so I will go to insert more RAM memory, but...would I have the same problem if I update it via USB? or are there other methods?

Assumption, you have totally wiped the disk or replaced it? I use DVD drives on USB ports, I have found the process while old works reliably.

Nope, I'm using the same disk that came from the factory but I also have another 500GB HDD

Does the content of the original disk have to be deleted?

Totally, because is contains licensing details that usual formatting tools don't remove.

Well, I have installed 2GB more RAM and I have cleaned the disk from 0, but the installer still does not load, this time the loading of the image did not make much progress, what do I do in these cases?

Hi,

thank you for the screenshots. The issue looks like a BIOS one because you are not seeing any BIOS details on you PUTTY screen when booting?

finally I did it, I was able to install the Sophos XG image but an old version (17.5.12 MR-12)
It was just changing the boot in the bios. Well now that I have installed it I want to see the graphical interface to start with the configurations but when I enter the default IP the Sophos interface does not appear.
