Hello.

 

I'm having problems updating a brand new (from eBay) Arlo 2 Pro camera's firmware. I got it synced and working with my old Arlo Pro 2's base station via Arlo's updated iOS app in my iPhone 6 + (iOS v12.5.5). Its camera wants to upgrade its firmware to v1.125.17.1_11_de8490d. However, it keeps failing with "Firmware could not be updated. Please try again. (Error code: 4208)" after waiting a few minutes with its (flash/blink)ing orange and blue lights status and "Firmware update in progress. This may take up to 5 minutes..." message. The camera is right next to Arlo Pro 2's base station and with 100% battery power.

 

What's wrong? 😞 Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 🙂

I don’t think that they update immediately, I could be wrong but it is likely that it will update in early morning hours like the pushed global updates.

It finally updated successfully after like ten manual attempts. Sheesh! I don't understand why it kept failing. 😞
