Ok this just gets weirder and weirder it somehow must have been the power supply. When I had it connected via serial and connecting both the GND lines the omega 2 + would hang but powering it directly without serial works. So when using the omega without a dock make sure there is enough voltage and current and that the connections are not loose and start with connecting it only to power. Thanks everyone for your help.

Oh man this is proving to be rather annoying. I am 99% sure that the power supply is fine as I am using an external power supply to the serial converter and when I try to use the command line in failsafe mode and try to set up the wifi that way I get failed to connect to ubus and so I can't even connect to wifi let alone update the firmware. Does anyone else have any idea what is going on? Thanks for the help so far I really appreciate it.

Yeah I am using a good power supply the omega is getting 3.3 volts and is drawing 170ma but once it reaches that final line the led goes out and then only draws 60ma. So maybe the software is corrupt and because it is giving errors it turns itself off? It seems rather odd and it is unfortunate I can not just reinstall the software to test it out.

Hi there I was never able to get that far... the wifi access point for the omega 2 never presents itself and the led on the board stays on solid until it reaches that last line where it turns off. I have absolutely no idea what is going on.

Hi there I am not really sure where to put this so I have put another post here.

I am having some strange problems with the new omega 2 module as I am unable to begin the setup either through wifi or through serial.

The wifi access point from the omega 2 is not visible and when I connect to it through serial it hangs at the line:
[ 18.825147] EEPROM:Read from [factory] offset 0x0,length 0x400.

At this point the omega 2 does not respond to enter being pressed or anything. Earlier in the serial output it prompts me to press f to enter failsafe which works but when I try to setup wifi there it begins to give me more errors which I can include if necessary.

I would really appreciate any help to get this going as I am quite worried I have hurt the omega 2. It may or may not be relevant to mention that I am not using any docks and all connections are done manually with jumper cables.

Here is the serial output when it boots:

Thanks in advance.

I have included a serial output file below and thanks again in advance.

Hi there I am having the exact same problem and I can not setup the omega 2 through either wifi or serial. Did you ever find a solution?
