Description of Issue

I followed the instructions to downgrade my Intel NUC Core to 1.8 version :

Roon 1.8 <-> 2.0 Migration FAQ

roon file inside the branches folder contains production1x as explained in the faq steps.
When I launch my remote, it detects my cre and keep saying it needs an update :

I click on the connect button and see this :

The RoonServer logs confirms that the core is still on the production branch not the production1x branch as it want to update to 2.0 build 1128 :

Waiting for @support to have instructions to use Roon (again).

Hi @AdZero,

Your screenshot shows that you are running 1.8 but not 1.8 legacy as required. Can you try again using the legacy download links as provided in the link you supplied in your initial post? This is the section you need to look at:

RoonOS Core 1.8 Legacy (Nucleus / ROCK):

[AdZero (A.)]

Hi @Wes ,

as explained I downloaded the file and followed the instructions for ROCK :

1. Go to the /Data/ share (instructions) and create a folder called branches
2. Download the following file: roon_1-8 (It should be named roon_1-8 and saved with no file extension) 
3. Copy the file into the branches folder previously created
4. Rename the file to roon (instructions on how to rename files: Windows / MacOS)
5. In the Web Interface, click "Reinstall" under Operating System

As I understand your instructions, after the reinstall step, the core should be on the legacy branch but it is not despite the content of the roon file.

Hi @AdZero,

To clarify, you did in fact navigate to the WebUI and selected re-install? Did it give you any change in your version or otherwise indicate that it was re-installing?

@Wes,

Yes, I connected to the Rock WebUI and clicked on the Reinstall button under the Operating System section. I even did twice but nothing changes.
For whatever reason I thought that Roon Server must be shutdown before. I think I was confused by the 1.8>2.0 instuctions just below. Sorry for that.

I tried once again but this time it worked after I unauthorized my account on the core :

I’m glad to hear this. Our apologies for the difficulty this has caused. Thank you for your understanding and enjoy the music.
