The tool you found is for Intel based systems and will not work for you.
First, lets be sure you really have a DuoV2. Netgear used the "V2" designation two different ways. What we now call a V2 has a part number ending in -200NAS and says "V2" on the front. If it just says "V2" on a sticker and has a part numnber ending in -100NAS, it's really a V1.
Your NAS is complaining that the root partition is corrupt. Here is the magic decoder ring:
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code. Current error codes: 1 - Vendor mismatch 2 - No disks detected 3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks 4 - Flash error 5 - Unsupported RAID configuration
A USB recovery is not the fix for this. An OS re-install is. I suspect you actually have a V1, which is why the V2 process is not working for you. Here is the process for a V1:How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-Duo-NV-NV-X6-or-600

Well if it’s corrupt because the root volume is full then an OS Re-install may only make things worse. If the root volume is full that needs to be dealt with first.
