Readynas 102 frozen after attempted firmware upgrade from v6.1.6 to v6.4.0

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.
