Since the announcement of www.mystora.com end of service.
Many Stora became bricks.!!
I think it is understandable that cannot access stora from www.mystora.com but reset tools (for reset passowrd) and setup your factory default stora also are not available.
This means that if you do below
1. Use reset tools (stora software) to reset passowrd
2. Or reset factory default by reset button.
The stora will became brick, because those password setting will need www.mystora.com
In this forum you can see that many people have the same problem.
I reset passowrd today, change password fail becuase Stora cannot reach www.mystora.com
So I try reset factory default, but StoraSetup.exe Configuration Wizard cannot continue becuase Stora cannot reach www.mystora.com
Does anyone know how stora setup skips www.mystora.com so that I can create an account normally and continue to use my stora in the local network?
Or is there a work around method?
Or use speical web address to work around ?
(Currenly is http://192.168.1.2/admin/wizards/setup/wrapper)
Or is it possible to use ssh account (root / password?) On a new stora WITHOUT any account?
If your stora works in local network, DON'T RESET IT.
Thanks

Thank you for this post! I was able to get the TFTP option working today, but I will say it's not for the feint of heart. I'm going to put the steps below, but I will warn you that if you're not very familiar with Linux, it may be difficult to use.
1. On a Linux system, ensure you have tftp-hpa, nfs-utils, wireshark, & u-boot-tools installed.
2. Grab a rootfs image from here (link to Dropbox: Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2)
3. Extract the root image at: /mnt/Axentra/marvell.nfs.rootfs/
4. Create a stora uImage using the steps in step 2 (I used the from the rootfs date "Updated 25 Aug 2019" - this is where u-boot-tools comes into play)
5. Set up tftp to server that uImage file (i used tftpd, but inetd/xinetd could also work)
6. Set up NFS to export the location in step 3; my exportfs looks like: /mnt/Axentra/marvell.nfs.rootfs/ 10.0.0.0/8(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,nohide)
7. Configure nfs-utils to use nfsv2 and UDP (they're no longer used by default). My nfsd parameters are "-u -V 2"
8. Configure your ethernet port to use 10.0.0.1 and connect a cable from it to the Stora
9. Fire up wireshark, unplug the stora, press and hold the reset with a paperclip, and power it back on
10. When you see the tftp traffic, you can release
11. If you did the above right, you should be able to log in after a couple minutes via ssh root@10.x.x.x with the password root (where 10.x.x.x is the IP of the stora which seems random).
12. Mount the Stora's rootfs via: ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 2 -O 2048 && mount -t ubifs /dev/ubi0_0 /mnt/
13. Place your authorized keys in /mnt/root/.ssh and ensure permissions are correct (700 for .ssh) and enable root ssh in /mnt/etc/ssh/sshd_config
14. If all has gone well, you should be able to reboot and get back into your stora via root ssh keys.

Re: Netgear Stora Cannot Registration
Thank Gitsov for your reply
I have tried to use the ROOT permission to start the SAMBA function,
But all failed
I refer to the information of OpenStora, he has 4 ways to get ROOT
1. Easy Root Access
This is a factory default STORA. It does not have any accounts, so I cannot use this method.
2. Root Access Via Serial Console
This is a factory default STORA. It does not have any accounts, so I cannot use this method.
3. Root Access Via TFTP
Alternates.tar.bz2 has lost the link. I can't download
4. Root Access via TelnetEnabled
After I used the method, the telnet connection was established, but the telnet server in STORA did not reply to any prompt.
Maybe I will try more something.
I will keep following your posts.
Thank you

Re: Netgear Stora Cannot Registration
Hi sdnick484 can you advise how to do step: 4. Create a stora uImage using the steps in step 2 (I used the from the rootfs date "Updated 25 Aug 2019" - this is where u-boot-tools comes into play)

Sorry, my original post had linked URLs, but when I reposted, they didn't come back. Yes, that's where I got the tar, and instructions are in that thread.

Head here, scroll down to where it says, "Updated 25 Aug 2019:", and follow the insturctions (except use the netgear-stora image instead). They should basically be:
cp -a zImage-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt cat dts/kirkwood-netgear_stora_ms2000.dtb >> zImage.fdt mv uImage uImage.orig mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage sync
To answer your previous question, this essentially gets you to a working Stora that's in the same state as the Open Stora project (meaning you can log in via ssh, export shares via NFS or Samba, etc. I haven't tried to see if the browser base stuff works, but then again, I literally never used those features. You can create users, install packages from the repo mentioned in the open stora documentation (now on Github), etc. Theoretically, you could update uboot and install Debian (or another Linux), but I wouldn't advocate that without a physical cosole interface (JTAG, etc.).

Re: Netgear Stora Cannot Registration
Hi sdnick484,
I followed the above steps and successfully executed TFTP and NFS server on ubuntu.
I use mkimage to make a Stora uImage and into tftp directory.
I started NFS V2 support and config /mnt/Axentra/marvell.nfs.rootfs in exports file.
When I press reset to connect Stora power
1. I can see the complete transfer uImage file in TFTP on wireshark
2. I can see that NFS is properly connected and accessing files on wireshark
3. I can ping to Stora.
But when I try ssh root@10.X.X.X it fails
$ ssh root@10.216.106.176 ssh: connect to host 10.216.106.176 port 22: Connection refused
I check Wireshark and see that TCP port 22 is not enabled, so Stora reply TCP RST ACK for SSH request.
It seems that my SSH service is not enabled in stora.
I am not sure what happened, any suggestions are welcome

Re: Netgear Stora Cannot Registration
I found the problem, I missed the setting of fstab
/mnt/Axentra/marvell.nfs.rootfs/etc/fstab
10.0.0.1:/mnt/Axentra/marvell.nfs.rootfs / nfs nfsvers=3,wsize=2048,tcp 0 0
Now that I have root permission in factory default stora, I will continue to config SAMBA manually.
Thank you for your support

Inside I can see:
- config-5.6.5-kikrwood-tld-1
linux-5.6.5-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2
linux-5.6.5-kirkwood-tld-1.patch
linux-dtb-5.6.5-kirkwood-tld-1.tar
linux-headers-5.6.5-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb
linux-image-5.6.5-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb
zImage-5.6.5-kikrwood-tld-1

Re: Netgear Stora Cannot Registration
Hi,
I'm not mastering Linux, still I'm patient;-). After some try and error I managed to get it working. There was some problem with tftpd-hpa and a original hint from open stora helped me:
tftpd-hpa seems to be a bit on the buggy side and if you get an 'Error1: File not found error' then it's highly likely that the daemon has ignored your preference for the root directory and is looking its default directory which is /var/lib/tftpboot. Putting the uImage file in there will likely solve your problem.
After moving the uImage over there it started working. I can see the trafic in wireshark. However i'm now geting the same error that was mentioned above by KarlChang: connection refused.
Can You pls advice me if I have to make this change of /mnt/Axentra/marvell.nfs.rootfs/etc/fstab
10.0.0.1:/mnt/Axentra/marvell.nfs.rootfs / nfs nfsvers=3,wsize=2048,tcp 0 0
BEFORE i make the uImage?

Re: Netgear Stora Cannot Registration
Turns out the image is loaded from the
/mnt/Axentra/marvell.nfs.rootfs
Can You explain where the uImage schould be located? Is it boot folder?

Re: Netgear Stora Cannot Registration
The fstab change and the uImage creation are indpendent of each other (so timing of the fstab update doesn't matter). You do need to have fstab updated before you start the transfer or the NFS root won't occur. The fstab file in Linux tells the system what device(s) and file systems to use for mount points (as well as other settings). The rootfs image expects to be ran locally so it's set up by default to use a local ext3 fiel system; all you need to do is change that to expect NFS. For reference, my fstab simply looks like:
LABEL=rootfs / nfs noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
They other key consideration that needs to be in place is that NFS needs to be set up and working properly on your host system. You need to ensure it's serving UDP and running NFSv2 protocol. How that's configured varies by Linux distro and chances are you're not running that I am (Gentoo) so I can't provide exact steps. In general what you need to do is ensure rpc.nfsd is passing the "-u -V 2" flags (generally configured in some sort of conf file in your host system's /etc.

Re: Netgear Stora Cannot Registration
Hi, thanks to Your help i managed to login to my stora as a root.
Can You please give me some advices about the last steps?
13. Place your authorized keys in /mnt/root/.ssh and ensure permissions are correct (700 for .ssh) and enable root ssh in /mnt/etc/ssh/sshd_config
How to check the permissions?
what line is to be changed in sshd_config?
14. If all has gone well, you should be able to reboot and get back into your stora via root ssh keys.
Should I connect with: ssh root@IP_ADRES_OF_STORA ?
Did You figure out how to make the stora to allow the web interface localy? If there is access to filesystem than probably it's possible to manualy edit some config files...?

Re: Netgear Stora Cannot Registration
So placing your authorized keys and allowing root ssh login allows you to log into the stora when it boots normally (as opposed to using the NFS root). Once that's done you can manually configure Samba (Windows shares), NFS, web servers, etc. I don't use the default stora web interface at all so I haven't bothered to try and figure out how to enable local login through it.
To generate a ssh key, just do a google search (there's tons of how-tos out there). You generate your keys on your main PC (not your Stora); when done properly, it will create a sub directory in your home directory (~) called .ssh. Within ~/.ssh, there will be at least two files, generally called id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. What you want to do is transfer the id_rsa.pub from your main PC to a file called /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the stora (see note below, you want this on Stora's actual root, not the NFS one). The file is exactly one line so be careful if you copy-paste it. You need to also ensure the permissions of /root/.ssh on the stora are 700. To enable root login, you'll want to edit the sshd_config file on the stora and add the line "PermitRootLogin yes".
NOTE: Please remember you want to be doing these steps on the stora file system, not on the NFS one you're sharing. If you mounted them on /mnt (step 12), then the relevant paths under NFS root will be: /mnt/root/.ssh and /mnt/etc/ssh/sshd_config.
As far as how to configure Samba shares or NFS, again, just Google any how-tos out there. I would recommend doing that under Stora's base OS and not the NFS root one unless you plan to always boot off that or plan to make that your permanent OS (I wouldn't advocate that without a JTAG or some other way to view the console).
