Firmware upgrade fail #19255699
Had a fail when I attempted to update firmware from 4.1.8 to 4.1.9 as follows: Issue with Firmware update for: ReadyNAS Duo serial # 24M3037701D1A This chassis was replaced on March 21, 2012 unde...
Yes the USB Boot Recovery image is a special image designed to write the firmware to the flash.
The problem could be that the flash is failing or perhaps failing memory (have you tried running the memory test a few times?. See http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/hardware/is_there_a_way_i_can_verify_if_my_memory_is_good and http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=26993)
A possibility is that some sectors on the flash may have failed. When the firmware was flashed using the USB Boot Recovery these sectors would have been ignored as they were reallocated and future firmware updates hopefully would work fine.
I wouldn't update to 4.1.9 due to an ownership issue. I'd either wait for 4.1.10 or try 4.1.10 beta (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=59222) if you want to upgrade.
