Firmware Update from 6.7.1 to 6.7.3 Has Failed
I just attempted to update the firmware from 6.7.1 to 6.7.3 and now I get the following when trying to boot. mount_block_root +1f1 all 6 drive lights are green I have tried using a paper ...
If you have updated to 6.7.3 and ran into this issue please try USB Boot Recovery with ReadyNAS OS 6.7.4 which is now available!
If you have not yet upgraded please upgrade to 6.7.4 rather than 6.7.3. If your system has already been fixed I would still suggest updating to 6.7.4 the normal way using the web admin GUI.
Sorry to appear to be daft, but I'm pretty much a novice at this stuff. I just did a firmware upgrade and now my NAS is broken and I'm a bit lost as to how to fix it. I did an hour's chat with Support but that didn't really get me anywhere they just said to do an RMA which will mean weeks without my files. You said "In Rufus you could select to create a syslinux 6.0.3 bootable USB key with a MBR 0x80 put on the USB key" but there are no dropdown options that say anything about syslinux??
To offer my experience, I tried every permutation of USB Recovery drive I could find (e.g., different thumb drives, different versions of syslinux, with and without Rufus). Nothing worked. I RMA'd my 314, and I had a new unit in a few days' time. They bumped me to "Advanced" as a matter of course, which I was grateful for.
The replacement 314 booted instantly from the first USB Recovery drive (a Patriot 8GB) that I had been trying to use with the defective 314, and I was able to upgrade the firmware to 6.7.4 that way right out of the box. So, in my case, this "+1f1" problem was not solvable by the USB Recovery method and could only be addressed by an RMA.
For me our USB Recovery Tool works fine and is very straightforward to use. There are circumstances where a 3rd party tool such as Rufus can help.
