Can't access readynas after firmware upgrade
Hi,
I got a readynas 102 and it had firmware 6.1.1 and I jumped the gun and upgraded to 6.6.0 too fast and forgot to read release notes where it stated to upgrade to other versions first before upgrading to 6.6.0
Now I can't access the nas and RAIDar doesn't find the device. I tried factory default and and usb recovery and that didn't help. The unit just boots up and Act stays on and power light flashes for about 10-15 seconds and then goes solid and no light on 1 and 2. Is there anything else I can try!
Thanks
Which firmware did you use when doing the USB Boot Recovery?
Perhaps you could try doing it with 6.2.5

Hi mdgm, thanks for the quick reply!
this is what i done:
format usb with single partition fat32
copied initrd-recovery.gz and NTGR_USBBOOT_INFO.txt and the ulmage-recovery from the rn102 folder to root of usb drive
copied ReadyNASOS-6.2.5-arm.img to root usb drive
plug in usb in front and hold down backup and plug in the unit
after a couple of tries it finally worked this time, looks like it took the firmware and then it shut down.
I powered on but still can't find it in RAIDar and checking on router i don't see a dhcp lease for the unit.
Do i need to put it in OS reinstall now or ?
Do you have any data on the unit yet?
