USB Recovery
Okay - At wit's end here - Applied update 6.10.2 to my RN102 and it worked on the OTHER unit I have - but this one appears to have bricked. I had a good backup of the data - so that's not a probl...

This unit is (obviously) out of support so I'm kinda hosed without being able to do a factory reset.
I guess you are saying that you purchased before Nov 2016? FWIW, not particularly obvious from your other posts.

The forums are unuseable because there's no discussion (at least in the open) about how do USE tech support mode to re-flash using the image I put on the recovery USB stick successfully.
There's more in the flash than the firmware image, and some of that stuff (including the serial number) is I think in an eeprom. Either way, the serial number at least needs to be fixed using Netgear tools that aren't available to customers.
Plus your other thread suggests that the flash failed.
I suggest sticking with the main thread, and not starting over with this one. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/USB-Recovery-Failure-Reposting/m-p/1822839#M182897
I'll stay with the main thread thanks and I appreciate the guidance. It may just be bricked and quickly become e-waste.
