Hello,

The MP70 was running the 14 firmware I can not tell it full release number  
I attempted to update to the lasted 15 release this basically timed out froze

Once I was able to reboot and get into the recovery mod I have attempted to update the firmware a number of time but all times it errors

Regards,

Hi @athin ,

I tested your case on my MP70 and I didn’t observe the your issue. Could you please try my steps as following:

1. Download firmware version ALEOS 4.15.3 by this link: [https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/software\_downloads/mp70/mp70-firmware-list/#sthash.CjJ0IFp8.dpbs](https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/software_downloads/mp70/mp70-firmware-list/#sthash.CjJ0IFp8.dpbs)

2. Refer to Part 2 - Configuring Gateway on page 19 in the link below to update ALEOS software using Recovery mode:  
[https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/software\_reference\_docs/airlink-mp-series---configuration-guide/#sthash.WkZ0HaPD.dpbs](https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/software_reference_docs/airlink-mp-series---configuration-guide/#sthash.WkZ0HaPD.dpbs)

Could you please follow and give it a try?
