RN104 Could not properly extract, fireware checksum error
Hi,
I've got a little problem with my NAS and an upgrade to 6.2.2.(4x1T hdd in RAID10 - 10% free space in time of upgrade - update)
After restart LED shows this information:
1. Booting...
2. Checking root FS
3. Updating FW
4. ERR: Could not properly extract
5. Booting..
roperly extract
This happens only when all hdd is in.
If all hdd is disconnected from NAS, LED shows this:
ERR: Firmware checksum err
I've tried this actions:
1. Factory default - w. new hdd - ERR: Firmware checksum err
2. OS reinstall - w. old hdd - ERR: Could not properly extract
3. Mem test - w. old hdd - OK
4. Disk test - w. old hdd - OK
Any ideas how to solve this "little" problem?

Hi,
Sorry for necroposting.
I am having the exact same symptoms as the previous two in this thread.
Was upgrading from 6.1.8 to 6.2.4. around 35-40% free space at the time.
1x2TB drive, 3x4TB drives = ~9.18TB something something.
Appreciate any and all help!
Thanks

- ghailooAspirantHi Everybody,
I am having the same issue as zdendo, but after upgrading to 6.2.3 the NAS is stuck on ERR: Could not properly extract.

1. Insert 1 disk then perform a factory reset.
2. Download again the FW v6.2.2 from this link below (its possible that what you have downloaded earlier is corrupted that is why it failed to update):
http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNASOS-6.2.2-arm.zip
Note: Be sure to unzip it before uploading it to your NAS.
3. Try to update the FW to v6.2.2 and check if it will be successful.
But I don't have access to upload new FW, NAS is stuck at boot. No gui, no backup button(only in boot menu).
And I don't know how to boot or upload FW from USB. - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredThese symptoms suggest the firmware on the mtd blocks is corrupt.
