What about volume read-only mode. Does that work?

If no, please check the PM I just sent you.

Hi,
I have the exact same problem, and I can't seem to find any references to help get it fixed.
I logged into the admin console on my RN104 for the first time in months this afternoon. It prompted me to install the latest firmware - and I thought "what the h3ll, why not?" and said yes. It then downloaded the firmware and tried to reboot. It's now stuck with a message "prepare_creds+2c".
There is no web interface at it's usual ip address.
Not sure where to go from here, any and all help appreciated.
