Broken Nas after os update
Well I think I broke my ReadyNas 102. I upgraded to Ready Nas Os6.10.10 and now the nas is not reachable and booting into recovery doesnt work. When trying to reset the powerbutton just flashes 5 t...
Hey,
so raidar tells me "RAIDar could not find any NETGEAR storage on your network. Check that your storage device is powered on and connected correctly."
The nas after I plug it in acts like the following: Act led shines once, then it turns off. After i press the powerbutton the main powerbutton led blinks ~10 times very fast and then all leds are constantly on.
What firmware were you running before you did the update?
Do you have a backup of the data?
I think i ran 4.5.3 but i cant tell you for sure.
I didnt have data on it i got it from someone.

No such thing. The RN102 runs 6.x.x firmware If you were running 6.3.x or older on the NAS, then you can't go directly to 6.10.10. You'd need to install 6.3.5 (if you were running something older than that) first, then 6.5.2. After that you can install current firmware.
If you didn't follow those instructions, then you might have bricked it. You could try a USB recovery
You need to scroll down to the bottom of this article ("To create a USB recovery drive for an ARM-based system").
The puzzle is figuring out what OS version you need to put on the recovery thumb drive. Can you contact the previous owner? They might remember the firmware they were running. If you can't find this out, you could do the recovery with 6.2.5, and then follow the steps above.
When you updated the OS, did you do so manually or just accept the offered update? One NAS I purchased used did have a very old OS version and the update it offered me was the right one for the required sequential updates. It then offered the most recent one after the first update was running (it was running something after 6.3.5, so didn't need three steps). But that was something prior to 6.10.x (probably 6.9.x), so I can't say for sure that the same will still happen.
