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.
exactly same here
debug port recovery
roen1, Can you show the state it's in when trying to boot normally?
- What is printed on the LCD display?
- How long does it take to get to its final state?
- What is the state of each of the LEDs?
- Do any of the buttons respond?
when I boot from usb long and press backup button long time I get in debug mode, when press just untill he tries to boot from usb (usb flickering) i get second photo 'readynas usb recovery' and it shuts down without anything getting fixed.
When booting whithout USB I get 'boot from USB failed' and flickering backup and power button. Only way to shut down is to cut the power.
