RN104 Stuck In Boot Menu Mode/Normal after firmware upgrade 6.6.1
Last time I logged into my RN104, it offered me a FW upgrade to 6.8.0. I accepted. Something went horribly wrong and my NAS became unusable - completely. My data's fine due to having off-site backups...
I will get this data ASAP. if I recall, the machine ONLY powers up wanting to boot USB with the power light and backup light (far right/left) blinking in an alternating, rapid pattern.
The display indicates it wants to boot from USB (whether there's a HD in the unit or not).
In 10-15 seconds, it usually fails.
With a recovery USB drive in it, it shows that it's trying to boot, but then ultimately fails.
With a "special" recovery USB drive (for getting a diagnostic port) it takes a few seconds to boot, then displays the diagnostic port number.
None of the buttons do a thing.
hmmmm same here! opened a topic yesterday evening and today checking out other topics to find out yours...
It should be some kind of factory warranty 'cause the update killed the chassis, not age.
That makes 4 of these that have "died" on the upgrade to 6.8.0.
:-(
oh sorry, it was to 6.8.1

Out of a huge installed base (many, many thousands at least). Plus people report issues here, not generally not successes - so it's hard to draw conclusions on this.
That said, when I see something clearly trending, I make sure development is aware of it.
Same issue here...
