All you need to do is access the web interface on 192.168.1.20 and flash 
through that, it will work as I've done it before.  Make sure you use the 
latest trunk or CC factory image.

Ah, I have been downgrading via the web interface to 5.5.10, then upgrading to 
OpenWrt from the web interface, but I don't have many to deal with.

Can you downgrade to XM v.5.5.11 via tftp and then flash OpenWrt from there?

The boot loader is different, XM v.5.5.11 was the last version to use the old 
bootloader that worked when using tftp to flash openwrt, the new bootloader 
starting with XM v5.6.x only accepts official ubnt firmware over tftp.  I can 
confirm though you can still flash openwrt using the factory image in the web 
interface.  The other option which I haven’t tested but it may possibly work is 
to scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp/ on the ubnt device and then use mtd to 
write directly.

If ubnt would release the source for the newer u-boot then this tftp issue 
could be solved, but they don’t which is in clear violation of the GPL, my 
emails to them have fallen on deaf ears.

Try downgrading the firmware to XM.v5.5.10 (I use 
http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/XN-fw-internal/v5.5.10/XM.v5.5.10.24241.141001.1649.bin
on my Nanostation LocoM2s at work)
It will complain about long passwords not being supported, but it will let you 
downgrade to it and then you can flash OpenWRT onto it.

I have been busy with other things, but I finally got a shipment of 
brand-new PicoStations (XM, identical to Bullet) here and tried to flash 
both the trunk builds of OpenWRT and LEDE on them.


I'm getting the same error I did some months back:
