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...
My case is a bit different. I have a ReadyNAS 10400 firmware v6.1.8. I have tried to upgrade it to v6.8.1 (didnt read the documentation first) So after booting, it does not boot. Only booting.... message. If Im going to use USB recovery, what firmware version I should use? 6.2.5 or 6.8.1? So if I flashed the wrong version, whats the best option to do?
Thanks in advance guys
You should use 6.2.5 to do USB recovery if your system was previously running 6.1.8.
@Skywalker
Do you mean even if I have already flashed the latest v6.8.1 which is of course stuck in booting... message.
Boot option is working. I will try flashing v6.2.5. and see the result
Yes. From the sounds of it the update to 6.8.1 didn't finish because the boot loader didn't get updated. So flashing 6.2.5 should be the proper action.
