    I have the same thing happening with a downgrade!  I cannot do a factory reset on my satalite.   Is it same procedure with the TFTP program RBS?  Which port is port 1?  Because it looks like I cannot factory reset my RBS, the ip address is .42 instead of .1 but I tired both.  What firmware were you able to bring it back up with?

      I used v. 4.6.3.16... saved a copy for the RBS on my laptop, plugged it in via an Ethernet cable to my laptop only, not the RBR and was able to get satellite to come back (blue ring after pulsing white) following the instructions to the letter. Did it 5 or so times without issue.

        Hi KMDonlon !  What program and programming device did you use?  I'm trying to use nmrplfash, but it appears there's a bug when interacting with OSX 12.2.

        If that's what you used successfully, I'll boot into my Windows Boot camp and give it a shot from there.
