XM I have gotten SO FAR. Oddly, downgrading a radio that came with AirOS
5.6 running on it to AirOS 5.5 DID NOT WORK - it appears that it is
necessary to do the recovery (tftp) flash of AirOS 5.6 before you
downgrade to 5.5. I honestly cannot explain it, but, so far, this sequence
seems the only way to reliably flash OpenWRT onto a PicoStation, Bullet,
or NanoStation Loco M2 that comes running AirOS 5.6.
Can you confirm the 5.6.X version that was installed on the units when you
received them? There is a Fix in the UBNT changelog for 5.6.4:
- Fix: After FW downgrade to 5.5.6 device goes to read-only state (TFTP
recovery to previous airOS version is required to restore normal
operation)
So wondering if the ones that you have that you are unable to simply
downgrade back to 5.5.11, are prior to 5.6.4 or not. And if so, if you
could upgrade to 5.6.4, then downgrade to 5.5.11, and the OpenWRT.
Getting messier but still might be easier then tftp.
