RN 2120 v2 is stuck in TFTP_REQ mode and will not repond to anything other than TELNET on port 23
Hi,
a little while ago i was trying to get a RN2120v2 to update, see thread Here
I have now removed the NAS from full time service so can now spend the nessasary time to get it back up and running,
as you can see from the screen grab, the NAS is in a sorry state,
i have been through every possible boot option, i have tried booting from a number of memory keys, to try and factory reset the device, i am almost ready to give up........ almost.
can any one suggest a way for me to fix the nas, the only port that is open is the TELNET port 23.
i have logged in to that port using putty and telnet, i was able to get logged in to the root account and was left at the prompt.
i started to use the commands detailed Here but it failed at the first command
what else can i try from TELNET to get this box working
can anyone help or is this NAS just a paperweight now?
Regards
Rael

That's a guide for an OS 4.1 system, not OS-6. With OS-6 you can start raid and chroot by entering
# rnutil chroot
You can then mount the data volume (assuming healthy disks) using
# btrfs device scan
# btrfs fi show
# mount /dev/md127 /data- Thanks. For the reply.
Will I need the original set of 4 drives for this to work, because I put them in to the new nas that replaces this device,
Can I get this working with a single 250gb drive as proof of working before I shell out for another set of hard drives for this nas.
I don’t mind putting new drives in it if I can get it to work as intended?
RaelrigsThe OS is installed onto the disks (and the NAS then boots from the disks). If the NAS is diskless, there is nothing to repair.
