Attended sysupgrade issue

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have been using OpenWRT on a Belkin 3200 router for about 3 years now, and I cannot be happier. Thanks to those who helped develop and maintain this amazing software!

I discovered the attended sysupgrade feature today, which helped me overcome my anxiety to upgrade OpenWRT from 22.03. Attended sysupgrade recommended upgrading it to 22.05, which was the only option in the dropdown list and I followed its recommendation. Unfortunately, there was no response from the router after this step for about 2 hours. I finally unplugged it and work on it by directly connecting to my computer and turned it on recovery mode. There, I attempted upgrading it again to 22.05, since it was the safe upgrade recommended, however, it failed again. I finally decided to take a bold move and upgraded it to 23.05, which worked like a charm. I wanted to share my story here for others, who may get stuck at the same stage and may not know what to do. Not sure if anything needs fixing.

Thanks again for this amazing tool!

Thank you so much for the response!

I did download the upgrade file when prompted by the attended sysupgrade dialog, however, I deleted it after my troubleshooting, so I don't remember its name. It was the file for 22.05-mediatek-for-UBI I believe. There was also a bunch of random characters in the name as seems to be the norm.
Perhaps there was a download error when I downloaded and saved it, but it never worked even after I switched to the recovery mode and attempted upgrading from there. I am sorry for my lack of specificity.
