Re: Possible bricked Satellites after downgrading from v4.6.7.5 to v 4.6.3.16
I have the exact same problem and posted about it here . I've tried pretty much everything and all of my satellites still have the flashing white status light and appear to be in a reboot loop. I attempted to downgrade via nmrpflash and although it appeared to be successful based on the console output there was no change once I rebooted the satellite. I guess I should try to get an RMA started at this point. I've moved on to a Ubiquiti setup, but it would be nice if I could get these working and sell or gift them to someone. When they work they're great, but the bugs and connectivity issues have been frustrating.

How do I go about doing that? I purchased them in August of last year. When I view my NG account the support options for my RBR853 are basically post here, purchase new hardware or purchase a support contract. I tried the first option and the other two are not happening. If I go to the "Contact Us" page and try to open a support case I only get knowledgebase suggestions and a link to purchase a support contract. The phone support options say "Create a case before calling". My free tech support ran out in November, though it does show that they're covered by the hardware warranty until August 2022.

The links I posted do work, from what I have read nmrpflash doesn't seem to work, using windows and TFTP worked for me multiple times... I hope you try this and have success.

Thanks. I tried TFTP but got a "Connect request failed" error each time. Maybe it was a timing thing, the satellite reboots fairly quickly and I could see the connection dropping sporadically on my PC. When you say it worked for you, was that after downgrading from 4.6.7.5 to 4.6.3.16?

I used the TFTP client built into Windows 11, but otherwise followed the instructions in that support article. I may give it a try with the GUI client, but I doubt that will make a difference.

I wish I could help more on this since I had no problem restoring, I really hope you get your satellite back up and running 👍

My 850 Satellight was bricked after a downgrading from v4.6.7.5 to v 4.6.3.16 firmware. It was replaced under warranty. It may have had an exsiting hardware issue as I could not factory reset it by using the reset button for about the last 3 firmware versions. I do not recommned downgrading firmware andthe 800 series of Orbis.
