Re: Unable to reflash stora

Thanks to Gitsov's expertise, I was able to resurect my Stora from being bricked.  I then had to clear off my original files and re-write them back to the Stora since there was already existing permission issues (that made access to the family folder through SMB impossible) that were unrelated to his solution --    So... After great additional effort after Gitsov's solution, I am finally now back with the Stora working as it originally did for years.

 

I'm fairly disappointed in Netgear for not maintaining the re-flash link to restore our devices.  AND, the fact that they never responded to our posts here or through my email to them.  I can only conclude that since they don't own "HipServ" they were unable to leagally have the firmware for re-flash and only could maintain their part of the Stora web interface.  I'm sorry that HipServ and their parent company are no longer in business.

Re: Unable to reflash stora

It is advisable Stora to be WITHOUT HDDs.

With alternates ... there is another story...

Hello,

 

Check your PMs.

 

There is a newer recovery environment and (finally) short manual with screenshots from today. Just deploy the files as it is explained in PDF or PM, launch the icon on desktop and follow instructions on terminal screen. Wait for Stora's rebootm, register it with same unit name, username and password, plug the disks back, update it and ... enjoy.
