6.2.5 on Readynas 104
This broke my NAS.
No longer booting after downloading this update.
Just sits at "Booting... Updating FW"
Has been for 4 hours.
No response from Netgear... :(
Similar to the start of this thread, I updated my RN104 from 6.2.0 to 6.2.5 and it halted in the "Updating FW" state. I powered off (pulled the plug) as no interface to the unit seemed to be alive.
The unit rebooted in 6.2.0. Of course, that's what I was trying to get away from as it locks up fairly frequently. That's a problem that has plagued my since prior to 6.1.8. I finally got so frustrated, I stopped updating things and just lived with partial access.
6.2.0 did allow me some access, so my wife is able to work with (in small batches) her photos.
However, it won't let me copy large amounts of data from the NAS so I can't backup my data. Fortunately, the upgrade didn't lose anything.
So, I'm stuck (yet again).
Any ideas how I can get the update to work? It's quite disappointing to not have a reliable NAS :-(
