ReadyNAS Pro 4 stuck at booting after factory reset
Hi, ReadyNAS was working just fine. Simply did a factory reset with new drives since the previous volume could no longer be expanded further. Process went as expected, created a new volume with RAIDar, the unit then rebooted itself and its only 'Booting...' ever since. Did the whole process twice with the same result
thanks for any help

Edit : Missed the text ERR : Could not properly extract quickly showing up on the LCD. same happens during a OS Reinstall. I have tried to do a USB Recovery but it just stalls with the cursor flashing on the LCD.
Searching older posts for similar issues, I see that most similar cases were resolved by mdgm-ntgr, which is now gone, I assume there is a telnet command to clear the corrupt flash and get a fresh firmware on the device.
anyone know how?
thanks
The older units are very particular about the USB flash used. Basiclly, the older, the better. Have you tried more than one?

One of the current mods ( JohnCM_S or Marc_V ) might be willing to help. You can also try paid support ( my.netgear.com). Ask for per-incident support.
Hi payyy,
Can you boot the NAS in Tech Support mode? If you can, please boot it in Tech Support mode then send to me the 5-digit code via private message.
Regards,
Hello,
It did boot in tech support mode yesterday... and now I cannot get back to the boot menu, I guess I must have bricked it trying the usb recovery too many times
thanks for trying to help
