#Firmware Update
Hi,
Upgraded from 5.1.0 to 5.2.0 via Omada. Bricked all our EAP245v3 hardware.
Couple of points:
- In Omada controller, I see that the access points have 5.2.0 loaded. So the upgrad worked, but after that things are bricked.
- Connecting to the access point's web interface states that it's under management of Omada. Resetting in the web interface doesn't work.
- The reset button at the back doesn't work in creating a factory reset. No flashing lite.
- Tried resetting via tftp, to no avail. The access point is requesting the firmware ("EAP245v3_up.bin") and I see successful transfer of the complete file, but the access point is not flashing the firmware onto the device.
Will open a support ticket, but wanted to see whether others have similar experience.
Argh! I thought 2 months of release beta testing by others was sufficient.

Re:5.2.0 firmware bricking EAP245v3
Wednesday
I tried flashing numerous times, but EAP245 immediately power cycles when TFTD finishes file transfers.
Only 5.3.3 stays on for like 3sec after file transfer, but power cycles and nothing happens.
On wireshark, I see that it's booted up, but looks like WIFI and other necessary stuff is not running.
Reset button doesn't work as well.
Can't access 192.168.0.254.
I'm lost.
