RN104 with 6.2.2 permanent freeze. How go back to 6.1.x?
Hi there,
maybe someone solved a problem with permanent freeze of RN104 after upgrade to 6.2.x?
Behavior:
After Boot RN104 may work 1-2-3 days and stop responding. Device reply to ping, but no GUI, no SMB share even no Power Off button works.
My actions (unsuccessful):
1. OS reinstall - no success (6.2.2 installed now)
2. Test memory - OK
3. Test HDD (I have 4 WD RED 3Tb each - all SATA error = 0) - OK
4. Backup and make Reset to Factory - no success
Absolutely have no idea what to do next. When was 6.1.9 then such freeze happens only once or twice per year.
Maybe I can downgrade to 6.1.9. Even of I need to backup and Reset to Factory again :(
Thanks in advance.

Someone had the same? - Those messages are not the problem.
- Hi all,
same problem here on my RN104, using 1 TB WD and 2 TB WD Red in bay 1 and 2 for quite a while.
Freeze keeps occuring since January 2015 = after upgrading to OS 6.2.2.
Only unplugging helps. No suspected activity or apps (but only the OS itself).
Can I go back to 6.1.9 [http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25636/~/readynas-os-version-6.1.9] by downloading and flashing it in?
I have a backup on a btrfs disk and am OK with losing the data on volume 1; also have done a factory reset already.
Any news on replicating the issue in the lab?
New version 6.2.3, 6.3.0 of the OS ahead?
best regards
Klaus (hactic) - Just tried to upload OS arm 6.1.9 and got message:
"Error
Uploaded file is older than the current version."
I. e. it really prohibits to step down. :( hactic wrote: Just tried to upload OS arm 6.1.9 and got message:

You really cannot downgrade to v6.1.9 once your NAS is already on v6.2.x
About your RN104 freezing, your concern might be kinda related to this forum threads:

You may want to try Beta FW v6.2.3 T1721 and it might help make your RN104 stable. Here is the link: http://www.readynas.com/download/beta/r ... 21-arm.img- Thanks @Ixa and all for the help.
Flashed the T1721 in. First hung for 12+ hours during "Booting ... Updating FW", then unplugged and redid.
Now correctly reports T1721, but my next problem is described in http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80412&p=455426, which is http 500 when the GUI repeatedly posts to a dbbroker script.
No idea how I would upgrade to a future stable version from here, as the GUI keeps vanishing -- by USB recovery / stick?
I do have ssh access. -- Hints welcome to how I can upgrade from a shell. :roll:
# cd /root
# wget url
# echo /root/ReadyNASOS-6.2.2-arm.img > /etc/.flash_update
Note if you download a zip file you will need to unzip it
# unzip filename.zip
