FW Update6.7.1 to 6.7.4 failing ReadyNAS104

Hi

 

When updating from FW 6.7.1 to 6.7.4, am getting error code do_exit+9ac.

 

I would like to either revert or continue upgrade. Would prefer no factory reset.

 

Has anyone any advice as to how to proceed?

 

Cheers

 

 

  • You replaced the /var/www folder with a symlink. This broke the firmware update.

    Perhaps try a cold boot and if it still doesn't work an OS Re-install?

      Hi there,

       Tried both of these, system appears to be always attempting FW update, followed by the error code above.

      Think what I need is some way to stop the system attempting the FW update loop

      When booting, I get message saying checking root FS - OK, so happy that file system is OK. Also system is pingable, so network OK as well.

       

      Cheers

      Can you use tech support mode?

  • I can get into boot option mode so think tech support mode would be ok but didn't think I could get to it in that state.
    More than happy to try though.

    Cheers,
