I have 5 NanoStation M5's, all I did was make certain they were XM versions before purchasing.  Flashed with BBHN with no problems.

Decided to include the NS M2 to my equipment collection; did the same... verified it was "XM".  Sadly I didn't look to see what version of factory firmware was already installed; made the mistake of using my M5 experience - just looking that the firmware version started with XM.

I reflashed with the BBHN 3.1 for the NanoStation M2; it went through all right; and then got the "NoCall" page. But when attempting to   change the call or password... the Save function errors.  Also, cannot reload any other flash; get a message "file type  not recognized".


I then went back to the main NoCall page, and in the lower right corner noticed something strange:

does this point to being the announced bootloader problem ?

That sounds much like a problem that another user experienced the other week.

We will for sure get you set on the right stock firmware first and then hopefully back on track:

  1. View videos: here and here
  2. Download your suitable TFTP client here.
  3. Download UBNT v5.5.x firmware here.
  4. Following the methods in the two videos (mileage may vary) and your TFTP client, and
  5. TFTP the stock UBNT firmware back to the NanoStation M2.
  6. Once fully booted and re-setup using stock firmware, try re-flashing the unit back to BBHN


Let me know if you have any questions and please let me know the outcome either way. And then, we will see how to proceed from there. Thanks!

thank-you, I'll look into all of that. These two NanoStation M2's I purchased were used. I intentionally bought used - to try and avoind any XM XW problems; and any other compatibility issues we see on occasion with the newer Ubiquiti releases. I just found out the two used NS M2 device s I bought - the seller "wiped them" by uploading the latest Ubpquiti firmware into them; and it was 5.6 If he would of just left things as they were... :-)
