No boot only telnet with USB recovery
Dear all, I am writing to ask you for advice, as a last resort, before throwing away my nas. It is a 2-Bay RN102 - ReadyNAS 100, that does not start. It is not reachable from RAIDAR. I have attemp...

I can only reach it with Raidar when it is in USB recovery, if I restart the Raidar device it no longer sees it
In fact I think the only solution to restore it is via CLI via telnet but I don't know which commands to type, if there is someone here who knows how to do it I thank him very much.

Do you mean USB recovery mode, or tech support mode?
If you just power up with no disks inserted (no attempt to use the boot menu), does RAIDar see the NAS?
Also, have you tested the disks in a Windows PC with vendor tools (Lifeguard for WD; Seatools for Seagate)? You can connect the disks either with SATA or with a USB adapter/dock.

The only way Raidar sees the device is as follows:
1) I prepare a usb memory pen recovery and put it in the front usb socket
2) Food in NAS by holding down the backup button
3) USB is active (its light turns on)
4) Release the Backup button
5) When the Memory Pen stops flashing, that is, it has finished loading, I try with Raidar and the NAS can be reached in TELNET technical mode (see image)
This regardless of whether there are inserted discs that are not there.
I have not tried if the disks have problems with the appropriate tools, I will, but I don't think that's the problem.
I think that with appropriate TELNET commands we can recover. Thanks- StephenBMay 21, 2020Guru - Experienced User
Were you running 6.2.4 before you did the USB recovery? It not, it was a bad idea to go back that far.
The bad serial number suggests that is damage to the flash that needs to repaired. Maybe PM JohnCM_S or Marc_V and see if they are willing to take a look.
