Failed to update RAIDiator 4.2.31 to 6.x
Dear experts.
In order to update/disable the SMB1 of the device for company security reasons
today I tried to update my fantastic ReadyNas 2100 ,
I updater to the version RAIDiator 4.2.31 without any problem and them tried to update to OS 6
following these instructions
https://blah.cloud/just-for-fun/upgrading-a-legacy-readynas-from-raidiator-4-2-x-to-6-2-x/
and this
I uploaded the R4toR6_Prep_Addon.bin but by error I restarted the device. (was doing other things at the same time and forgot not to restart it, S***T)
so after restar the device, Blue light fixed, and one Eth blinking, the other eth is fixed, NO light on disks (it has 4 HD od 1TB)
I tried these steps
https://kb.netgear.com/24872/How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-1500-2100
Factory default and OS reinstall
but when I restart, press the reset and power, all lights are fixed, them I press backup,
The USB led is iluminated and Led disk1,
press backup again
The USB led is iluminated and Led disk2,
press backup again
The USB led is iluminated and Led disk3,
press backup again
The USB led is iluminated and Led disk4,
press backup again
The USB led is not ilumintaed and Led disk1,
press backup again
The USB led is not ilumintaed and Led disk2,
press backup again
The USB led is not ilumintaed and Led disk3,
press backup again
The USB led is not ilumintaed and Led disk4,
press backup again
The USB led is ilumintaed and all Leds at same time.
during the previous steps I have selected Boot Menu Mode Press and release the SYS / Reset button but nothing do,
no reboot nothing after pressing reset always all leds iluminated but nothing.
I test this with and without all Disk and nothing happens....
I tried to use the RAIDiator 4.2.x USB recovery but I can not run on windows 10.
I tried to copu the RAIDiator-x86-Version-4-2-31.bin directly in a USB
https://kb.netgear.com/000038793/RAIDiator-x86-Version-4-2-31
but doesnt worked.
it has not get any IP address (I conected to diferent networks and not DHCP request.)
I dont know what else to do, you are my last chance.

RAIDiator 4.2.31 is not mandatory to use the OS 6
I just want to recover the device...it was really nice device, never a issue or problem
mdgm might have some ideas. My guess is that USB recovery should work. The process is here: https://kb.netgear.com/30267/RAIDiator-4-2-USB-Recovery-Tool If you try it, run usbrecovery.exe with elevated privilege (not stated in the guide).

While you can convert the 2100v2, you cannot convert the older 2100v1.
Can you confirm that the model is a v2?
I will confirm tomorrow at the office.
