requesting USB recovery for NV+ v2
I have the exact same problem as described here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyNAS-NV-V2-ARM-stuck-in-Boot-Normal-Mode/td-p/1377994
After a clean power down, now my ...
I managed to make a serial connection, after a lot of trial and error.
In case someone else needs to do the same, I used a USB-to-TTL cable with 4 strands that I purchased on eBay, it shows up in Windows Device Manager as "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port." Make sure you look at which COM port it assigns, you'll need this. On the READYNAS unit (again, lots of trial and error) from Right-to-Left, I hooked up black (ground), green, white, and left the red (power) wire unconnected.
The serial connection setup is: 115200 baud, 8-bit data, parity: none, stop: 1 bit, flow control: none. You will need to set these parameters in both Device Manager and in Putty or TeraTerm.
The ouput is at https://justpaste.it/5xhow There isn't any indication of a failure, it just goes into the Boot Menu without really explaining why.
Any diagnostic help would be gretly appreciated.
You could have a problem with your reset button. It could be stuck in or a problem inside the case leading to the system thinking the reset button is pressed when it's not.
If you boot holding down the ESC key on a USB keyboard you should get into the u-boot console. From there you should be able to see if the u-boot environment is intact (but don't make any changes unless you know what you're doing).
Have you tried doing USB Boot Recovery with the serial console connected?
