Had the same problem - Do you have SSH access? If so, your unit isn't "technically" a brick. You should downgrade right away to 6.10.4. (I did that and the problem went away). Contrary to other posts - it has NOTHING to do with the browser version you're using to access the unit - it happens on all browsers - it's a flaw in frontview.
Here are the instructions for the ARM unit (RN102):NB: (you MUST be ssh'ed in as 'root'):
cd /root wget http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.zip unzip ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.zip echo /root/ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.img > /etc/.flash_update reboot
There is a hotfix that needs to be applied to that release and it will automatically be applied if your NAS settings permit hotfixes to be automatically applied... otherwise - do as you see fit.
Just ignore any further updates to 6.10.5 until they get their act together.

Not sure exactly what steps you are following. You should be getting the arm zip file from https://kb.netgear.com/000062588/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-10-4. Then extract the binary from the zip.
Browse to https://nas-ip-address/admin (don't use readycloud, and of course use the real NAS IP address). After logging in, go to system->settings->update and click on the "install firmware" control. when prompted, select the binary file.

sorry might be a bit of a dumb question, but when you say binary you mean the unzipped file or do i need to get something out of the disk img

I mean ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.img - in other words the unzipped file.
