Flashing new FW to RNDU2000
So, i bought a used Netgear Ultra 2 as a backup to my existing RNDU2000, how ever it won´t boot and is not discoverd by my router ( Asus RT-AC87U ) So i tried to flash it using the inofficial...
Hi JennC.
RAIDar does not recognice the NAS.
I Tried RADIator 4.1.8 that from what i now understand might not be the correkt version?
I also kinda f**ed up when turning the nas on and initializing the Flash recovery boot.
I have 2 500Gb disk installed with old data on them, partioned with NTFS, the data is of no use to me so i don´t care if it gets wiped.
Regards Matt
4.1.8 isn't for the ultra at all - you should have used 4.2.x firmware (current release is 4.2.28).
4.1.x is for a sparc CPU, not the intel processor used in the the ultra. If the USB recovery actually applied 4.1.8, then you might well have bricked the NAS. Perhaps try again with 4.2.28 (unless mdgm or some other netgear person gives different advice).
I do have the Netgear Ready Nas Ultra 2, infact i have 2 of them. :-) One fully functional and one not so functional.
Well, the good news would be that i probably f***ed up completly the first time when i tried to flash my NAS, since i only pushed the powerbutton when having the USB drive installed it shut down immediately on me. :-)
I got help from mdgm with proper firmware and guide so i have tried that now but im not shure that my USB drive work so i have to make som more tries with different USB drives before giving up.
