It' bricked mate, the only way to fix it is to lift the TSOP and reprogram it.

how did you fcukup the bootloader by just changing the mac?

God knows what happened just simply used the ambit config ulility connected up as usual then this happened no warning at all quite shocked about it myself i didnt do anything out of the ordinary simple mac change thats it

Im sure there's an option in Ambit config tool to flash bootloader. Must have hit that or sumat i guess. U can get ur Tsop programmed there is a few people that do it on here.
