What can we do to fix airunit?

my first guess is bad usb cable. replace the cable and try again

regarding recovery
hold in the pairing button, and power up the unit for about 10 seconds

Thank you very much! This is insanely helpful advice!

The usb cable doesn’t appear to be issue, if I use it on mac the flashing process works fine… it’s only when using on my ubuntu laptop that this error shows up. I tried it a second time after successfully doing on mac and it produced the same error.

Regarding recovery… have tried the method but the led2 light doesn’t show afterwards.

when using the hold down pair option, no leds will light
