Duo v2 will not boot after firmware upgrade
My ReadyNAS Duo v2 (RND2000-200NAS) was working fine prior to the most recent firmware upgrade (5.3.13). I was able to back up files via rsync from PC and laptop. I could browse media files on the ...
hello
if you want to do USB recovery for your DUO V2 device,please download the tools from below URL link
Hi Deniro,
Thank you for sending along the Duo V2 USB recovery tool. Even before I ran the tool, I took a look at the files associated with the Duo V2 within the archive. The uImage-recovery and initrd-recovery.gz files were both identical to the files that I already had on my USB drive.
Still, I decided to run the recovery tool. I re-formatted the drive and selected my device. Sure enough, the recovery tool copied the exact uImage-recovery and initrd-recovery.gz files that I already had. It then copied the 5.3.13 firmware file (RAIDiator-arm-5.3.13) that I already had on the drive. So, I believe I already had the correct files on my USB drive, after reading many other KB articles.
The recovery tool confirms that I had the correct files.
I will try booting with the USB drive once I'm back at my ReadyNAS device, but I can guarantee that it will do the same thing as before: It will boot from the USB drive, load the kernel, load the ramdisk, update the firmware, and shut down. I'll remove the USB drive and attempt to boot up again, and the boot will fail because it is always trying to boot from the USB drive.
I'll relay the results to you once I try the USB drive again, but since the recovery files are identical to before, I expect no change in results.
Is your backup button stuck pressed in? If the backup button is pressed in it'll always try to boot off USB every boot.
Hi mdgm,
The Backup button is definitely not pressed in. I checked several times. The device continues to attempt to boot from USB on every reboot. Here is the last segment of the console output:
