Bad Firmware Update on ReadyNAS 314

 I'm getting a "mount_block_root +25e" on my Readynas 314 after I updated my firmware, I tried the create a USB boot drive to restore it but it doesn't seem to work even after using a couple different USB drives.  

 

Any suggestions, or did this new firmware build just kill my ReadyNas Storage device?

    Have you tried booting the NAS without the drives and see if it still gets the same message? If it does, might be better to contact Support.

     

    Trying a few more Flash drives ranging from 1GB to 4GB might be advised as well since not all USBs work at first try.

      I tryed pulling the drives and two different USB Sticks to no avail.
      I only have those two that meet the size requirements, is there a particular brand of USB Stick I need?  Since It looks like I'm going to have to buy one do not want to buy a half a dozen hoping that I hit on one that works.

       

      Thanks

        Some super cheap Chinese ones on eBay have worked for me.  Amazon has similar ones.  They tend to be slow, so likely use older technology.  You absolutely do not want a USB3 one.
