Hello dear Gitsov,

Thank you very much. With your assistance I managed to recover my Stora MS200. So, I don't need a "32bit based solution" for my case. I pray God to always give you power in your efforts to help people searching for kind advise.

With best regards, Farit

Re: Unable to reflash stora

Hello,

 

glad to see that you managed to recover your unit. About 32bit recovery ... probably I will finish it, when I have some free time. Sorry, that I did not finished in time - there was very busy days recently.

Hello Gitsov,

 

Recovery worked perfectly has long as I followed your directions. QNAP NASes don't work. Once I got the UI I also had to manually bring up the 2 4TB drives I'm running. Once the RAID1 was rebuilt all my data appeared. Thanks much!

NO GO!!

libscan: scanning eraseblock 1991 -- 100 % complete ubiformat: error!: all 1992 eraseblocks are bad

FATAL: Error inserting ubi (kernel/drivers/mtd/ubi/ubi.ko): No space left on device

Looks like Nand stuffed??

Re: Unable to reflash stora

Yes, dead NAND. There are theree options at this point:

- Vanilla Debian on USB flash drive, if mtd0/U-Boot is still alive and healthy. You will need to setup all from scratch and configure it by hand.

- Replacement of NAND. I have some spares (256MB/512MB), preprogrammed, ready for soldering. Contact me with PM for more details.

- New device or plug the disks in your computer for storage.

Hello, i'm french and i'm not very good in English.

My Stora is KO and it's impossible to connected with it.

Do you have a solution?

Thanks

Re: Unable to reflash stora

Try to reflash firmware, if it does not succeed - you will need to replace it (with another Stora unit or different brand/model NAS unit).

I've sent you PM with instructions - send me reply to PM with results, no matter what they are.

Re: Unable to reflash stora

Hi, I have old second hand M2110.

I've changed both HDD's to new ones and performed reset procedure - as described here: https://kb.netgear.com/20608/How-to-Reset-the-Stora-to-Factory-Defaults.

I can connect to it via web interface using default IP address, but can't format drives to use it.

Currently after power-up my Stora lights are: blue (for power) and two red (for HDDs).

What to do?

Re: Unable to reflash stora

Hi Gitsov, 

 

Just recently had the time to attempt to restore my Stora. I got to this point and it just stopped:

 

libscan: scanning eraseblock 1991 -- 100 % complete   ubiformat: warning! : only 741 of 1980 eraseblocks have valid erase counter.

 

I know that it says in the guide that only 14 should be bad. Does this mean that the nand is bad or is there a way around this?

Re: Unable to reflash stora

You have too much bad (and too less usable) cells in NAND. Probably next step with wrting firmware will/was fail(ed).

Generally you can give it another try, but I am not sure that result will be different.

Workaround is NAND chip replacement. I have some spares available, drop me a PM if you are interested.
