· failed(APtype in the EFS mismatch): The upgrade failed because the AP type in the EFSfile trailer of the current AP version does not match the AP.
Handling process:

The AP type EFS file in the trailer of the current AP version does not match the AP.
So, we need open the oldversion file and check the EFS value.
When you open theversion with tool like WordPad, in the end of the file, you can see the ap-typevalue, please check the value with actual AP-type:
