Try downloading the logs with RAIDar. You can then PM ("private message") one of the mods ( JohnCM_S for example) or perhaps Hopchen (former Netgear employee) and ask them to analyze them. Don't post a link to your logs here, as there is some privacy leakage if you do that.

Hi,
How to do that? There is no IP-address so I have no access to the NAS any more.

Hi,
Not sure if this will help but I had this identical problem today with a 204 unit. I had rebooted prior to the update and still it sat stuck for an hour at 99%. Multiple reboots failed to solve it and I was only semi-sure I had a valid backup.
In the end I found the bootmenu option -

And 528X, 628X - https://kb.netgear.com/000036944/How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-528X-and-628X
I was ready to factory reset but instead did OS-Reinstall - big sigh, it rebooted and took a little longer but came up fine.
Once back on volumes all online, but had to redo network settings and admin password was defaulted.
Not sure but it might help in your case.
Regards,
Mark

In similar cases there often is an IP address and the logs can be downloaded. So maybe download RAIDar, and see if it can discover your NAS.- SorenBApr 24, 2019Aspirant
Sorry, there is no connection with my RN528X and still in "Booting..." position.
