ReadyNas RN2120v2 TFTP_REQ
Hi, i have had this ReadyNas RN2120v2 for some time, about a year ago i tried on this forum to get help to fix the issues i am having with it, to be honest i ended up just boxing it up while i move...
Did you try the USB recovery procedure I suggested last year?
Hi Yes, i have tried using a number of differnt USB keys incase there was a incompatability.
the process starts, the disks do a self check, then nothing happens.
I recently had this happen on a converted RD5200. Since the flash in that unit is a removable USB stick and I had a backup, I re-imaged it and tried again, with the same result. So, I tried the USB recovery, and it worked. Others have reported similar results, so I think you just need to figure out how to get a completed USB recovery.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to determine exactly what went wrong with the update. But I have the capability of trying again just by using another USB stick imaged with what failed before. And I'm concerned that there may be something unique on an RD5200 in general, or just mine, that will cause this to happen again, though that's not really your problem. Oddly, my converted RN4200V2, which has nearly the same hardware, did not suffer this problem.
