ReadyNAS 212 won't upgrade or install apps! Help!

I have the ReadyNAS 212 with firmware 6.9.4 Hotfix 1.  When I click "check for updates" it says a new version 6.10.2 is available, but when I click "Update".  I get the error 6001010056.  I have tried to cloud update with no luck.  I have downloaded the arm version of the firmware and tried to update manually but get the error "file is missing or corrupt".

I also tried to install Plex Media Server (for RN2xx) from the admin interface and via the manual download and upload but this has failed also.

 

Any help is appreciated!

 

  • Hi Snowman8,

     

    The issue could be network related. There might be a network filter that is going on or something. 

     

    We are getting "hash sum" errors when trying to check for updates. We also tried downloading Plex and it is the same.

     

    The NAS cannot successfully download the deb file from the server itself for whatever reason, but when we go to manually install it, we have to get dependencies and they have a similar problem. It is almost like network traffic being intercepted.

     

    Regards,

  • Maybe obvious, but did you use just the .img file from the zip, not try to upload the whole zip to the NAS for the local update?

      Hello Sandshark,

      Thank you for the suggestion, yes I have upload the .img file. 
      I have also tried to reboot the NAS and turned off the anti-virus.  Still NO LUCK!

        A too full OS partition can cause problems like that.  Have you seen any warnings about that in the log?

         

        Clearing the browser cache or even switching to another browser can sometimes make a difference.
