Duet 2 WiFi: 3.1.1, 3.2.2 upgrades fail, 3.0.0 works ok

EDIT: I am leaving this here in case somebody else looks for it. I shut down and restarted the Duet after a while and the upgrade to 3.2.2 seems to have worked, the only problem being that I didn't get a confirmation of the upgrade; the screen just kept showing the "Please wait..." message.

Yesterday I upgraded my Duet 2 WiFi from 2.x to 3.0.0 firmware by uploading through the web UI, which worked fine. I then wanted to proceed to 3.1.1, but the installation through the web UI kept hanging at the "Please wait while updates are being installed" message.

After a while (> 15 minutes) I shut down the Duet. I was able to get back to a usable state with firmware 3.0.0, including working WiFi, by following fallback procedure #1 from the documentation.

Today I decided to give it another try with 3.2.2. I again uploaded through the web UI, and it hangs again at the "Please wait while..." message.

What could I do to debug this? I could roll back to 3.0.0, but at some point I'd like to keep up with firmware updates, obviously.

PS. The Duet 2 Wifi is wired up inside the printer with 6 steppers and a Duex 2 connected. I am doing the upgrade on USB power only, no Vin.

Why no VIN?

Were you uploading bin files or the complete zip file for the release?

If you still have access to DWC. Upload these 3 zip files, one at a time in the system tab. Don't extract them. Reboot after each. Use M115 to verify the firmware has been applied.
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.05.1/Duet2Firmware-2.05.1.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.0/Duet2and3Firmware-3.0.zip
https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/3.2.2/Duet2and3Firmware-3.2.2.zip
That will get your firmware and DWC up to date.

For your config, might be a good idea to run through the configurator tool and generate a fresh set for RRF3.

For Duet2 Wifi it happens that the Wifi Server FW gets corrupted and needs to be installed manually (e.g. via Pronterface). This happend to me multiple times from 3.0.0 onwards.

Manually sending M997 S1 to re-flash the wifi module usually does it.
