ReadyNAS 102 will not update to 6.4.2
I cannot get my ReadyNAS 102 to update from 6.4.0 to 6.4.2. I go through the update procedure, it says it is updating, reboots, and it is right back on 6.4.0. I have uploaded the firmware manually ...
I am pretty fed up with Netgear.
I run a Win 7 64 bit system. I browse with IE.
Like many, many others my RN102 will not update firmware.
If I login in and check for updates on settings page, I get spinny disc then nothing.
No matter what version after 6.2.5 I download and try to manually upate, it goes through the process, reboots but comes back as 6.2.5. I tried mnaully rebooting from boot men and that didnt work either.
I tried the workaround with the Netgear complete_flash download file which seems to only be 28kb. When I go on APPs and upload, as instructed by Netgear KB page, it waits a while and I get a message that it failed to load.
Hours and hours wasted. No one to phone or email on a product that is a couple of years old and, given the amount of webhits about this issue, seems to be something that Negear have clealy screwed up.

thanks! This helped me resolve a similar issue, being stuck on 6.2.5.
That flash update did the trick.
Somewhat mysteriously though, it didn't just update to 6.4.0 as advertised but even all the way to 6.5.1 (the current version at this time).
:heart: :womanvery-happy:
If there is not a firmware image already primed to install the app checks for the latest firmware version on the update server available to update directly to from the version you are currently running and downloads that.
