Ben-

Thank you!

I did try the NanoStation image, with the same results. Normally either image will flash onto the LOCO, but the NanoStation image has the "extra" Ethernet port enabled, which creates a bit of confusion. Besides, I believe the LOCO is a 1x1 (like the Bullet), not a 2x2 (like the NanoStation).

I got another email indicating there is a new "xw" rev of the LOCO M, supported only in the trunk currently. I thought that only applied to the "big" NanoStation M, but... well, now I'm thinking I'm wrong about that.

Now that I'm looking for it, I see on the AirOS page on one of them that the version of firmware is "XWv5.5.9"

So, beware, this is coming to bite you, too!!! (And it's probably coming to bite me on the LOCO M2s... just checking them, I see the ones I have are "XM" models.)

Gotta love UBNT...

Thanks again!

I've been flashing the Nanostation Loco M5's just fine with the Nanostation M image for 3 years without issue, and I never tried the Bullet M image. Although, the Loco M5's I've flashed are at least 1.5years old at present. Can you try flashing openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-nano-m-squashfs-factory.bin instead?

Also, I'm flashing current versions of AA compiled from the code provided via SVN, rather than the pre-compiled images.

    I just got 5 LOCO M5 units that won't run OpenWRT. They are
    datestamped 1422K; when I try to flash them, they give me:

    received ERROR <code=2, msg=Firmware check failed>

    I am using the Bullet M image
    (openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-bullet-m-squashfs-factory.bin),
    flashing with tftp in binary mode.

    I have one other LOCO M5 with datestamp 1340K that works fine -
    flashes fine every time. But the new units won't take the firmware
    at all.

    I assume UBNT did something in the bootloader that is disabling
    OpenWRT.

    Any help will be welcome. I can open one up and attach a serial
    cable, but I'm not sure what I'd look for or what I'd do about it...

    Thanks,

    Bill
