Well, trying to upload 3.16.2.0 to my Rocket M2 has failed.

Anyone want to buy a Rocket M2 with a RocketDish, a Rocket M5 with a RocketDish, a NanoStation M2, or an AirGrid M2?

The work required to maintain the software and hardware has exceeded my capacity. I'm tapping out.

Perhaps some details would help.
Are you installing new from AirOs? 
Which version of AirOs is installed?
Did you downgrade AirOs to 5.5?
Are you upgrading from AREDN?  From which version?
What is the failure message?

Started from 3.16.1.0 on a Rocket M2, uploaded 3.16.2.0, and the device never came back up. I have to go pull it off the mast and see what I can do with recovering it, but at this point I'm probably not going to put it back on the mast.

Try Cycling the Power

You might try removing the power to the unit for a minute or so, then plugging back in. I have had to do that on one of my nodes after flashing it. The web screen never came back. Fortunately, the reflash was successful and the new node screen appeared once power was restored.

Nothing worked until I pulled it from the mast, cracked the case, connected the JTAG wires and re-flashed it from scratch. But it's on 3.16.2.0 now, and I have empirical evidence that my safety harness works as designed...

I had similar issues with both a bullet m5 and Nanostation ns5m. Had to use tftp mode to reflasf firmware using pumpkin utilities. This was a learning process for me. Works great now.
