Readynas 102 frozen after attempted firmware upgrade from v6.1.6 to v6.4.0
Hi all, Attempted to updated my Readynas 102 last night from firmware version 6.1.6 to version 6.4.0. The unit downloaded the update, but when it asked to reboot, it had lost connection with ...

USB recovery back to the original 6.1.6 firmware got it working 100% again.

I might do that if a factory default seems too much work (In my case that would man returning to 6.3.5), but I might use the opportunity to clean out the mess I've made the last couple of years :smileyhappy:
Erm, thats 6.2.5 off course...:smileylol:
And no luck putting back 6.2.5. The admin page is unaccessible and password recovery disabled. So I probably will have to factory default the thing.
One thing changed going back to 6.2.5 from 6.4.0 and that is that the SMB-shares are available now in read-write mode. But that isn't enough to mkake the system usable.
Ah well: As I said befgore it's an 'nice' way to be forced to clean out two years of data. I have a good backup (even less important stuff is now backed up) and starting afresh is something I might have wanted to do anyway.after such a period.
I ran into the same problem with my RN102. I was on firmware v6.1.9 and upgraded to v6.4.0 firmware through the web interface. After rebooting, the NAS was no longer accessible. I began to panic and searched online for an answer. I found this community and then this post.
Followed the USB Recovery procedure and it worked! I was able to go back to v6.1.9 and my data is still intact.
Note: The first USB drive I tried didn't do anything. Then I tried another one, which it liked more. Since the RN102 does not have an LCD screen it makes it difficult to tell what's going on. If the NAS does not shutdown a few minutes after powering it on with the Backup button pressed then try another USB stick.
