The part that bugs me is I had check the storage issue prior to upgrade. Had 58% free so I figured I would be ok.
At some point, Ubiquiti updated the firmware upgrade process of the ER-X to pre-delete the old version. I have no idea what "space" should be available, but I always deleted the backup firmware prior to upgrading until I was on the 2.X line.
This has been a known issue with the ER-X from day 1.
I have now updated my upgrade process. Backup config, confirm download of currently loaded firmware is available, reboot, delete backup firmware, update firmware.

Glad I didn't get this issue when I upgraded to the latest version.
I'm glad you didn't either. This stinks.
As this is for home, didn't think there was a reason to buy two.Using other individuals previous experiences, in addition to my own, I have no revamped my upgrade process.

Now that I am on the 2.X line with all devices, I simply click the upgrade button within UNMS (now UISP).
Full Process:
- Log in to UNMS
- Click to reboot router
- Wait for it to come back online
- Click upgrade

Interesting.
What did UI change in 2.X line that makes you trust just upgrading vs the 1.XX line?

Nothing. The change to the upgrade process was in the 1.X line. But I don't recall which firmware. So until I was on 2.X, I did it the way you updated your process to.

It probably is bricked. The same happened to my ER-X when firmware 2 came out. I got it booted eventually over serial cable, and if I remember correctly it displayed something about internal storage.
I noticed others have had the same issue in the past.
I just saw the serial connection setup. Did you just use the USB-TTL device to connect?

I used this cable:
