MS80 firmware 1.1.8.20 (Dec 1st 2025) Bricked
Yes the firmware update did not complete on the second satellite. I have done every possible thing to connect with the satellite but it just blinks fast then slow in its never-ending cycle.
Don't do it

Did you perform a 30-30-30 reset on the MS?
How did you attempt to update the MS? Auto update or manually using it's web page with a web browser and ethernet connected PC?

Manually update per page 93 of the manual, Wi-Fi connected PC. Manual does not mention ethernet connection

MS FIRST, then MR lastly.
If your MR is updated prior to the MS, you'll need to downgrade the MR back to what you had on it long enough to get the MS updated FIRST, then update the MR back.
