ReadyNAS312 Firmware Upgrade to 6.7.4 - Will Not Boot
I had to download the image, received DNS error when I tried the auto-uodate.
So, upgrade completed manually and since I was going to be gone all day I shut down rather than rebooted the NAS.
This evening started the NAS and the power (blue) light flashed and the fan came on at what sounded like full speed. The blue light stopped flashing and the fan kep running. There was no LED indication of disk activity.
The NAS was not found by Raidar.
So, I think the course is the USB recovery method but there is a confusing option for assembing the tool; depending upon NAS model; which folder to place the firmaware image in.
I'm in new waters with this, my NAS has operated flawlessly until now. Some of the data is backed up, some is not, I got complacent. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: ReadyNAS312 Firmware Upgrade to 6.7.4 - Will Not Boot
I also saw RN716 can't boot successfully after update to 6.7.5 T building (this building only fixed RN3138's FAN speed issue), I checked information from console port, it seems system can't find boot partition (Need to check root cause),
then I enter into boot menu and select normal boot, system boot successfully.
so please try to select normal boot in boot menu.
How do I access the boot menu on my ReadyNAS 102, 202, 212 or 312?

The leds would not illuminate.
mgdm is also helping me out. I finally had time today to use a USB key. I got a few brief flickers on the Act LED, then it went dark. No further led activity.

Re: ReadyNAS312 Firmware Upgrade to 6.7.4 - Will Not Boot
I have the same issue. Upgrade to 6.7.4 was successful and so was the soft reboot. But I had a power outage over the weekend and now the 312 won't boot.
Hooked into a LCD monitor and I get the following after the AMI BIOS
Initramfs unpacking failed: LZMA data is corrupt
gpio_it87: unkown chip found, chip 8721 revision 4
Kernal Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root FS on Unkown Block (2,0)
...... then a bunch of stuff relating to the Kernal Panic
I have a 2 x 4GB RAID 1 setup, I have a backup of the important data, but would prefer not to lose any of it if possible
Oh yeah and same problem, power LED goes off after the Kernal Panic. I also can't even get into the Boot Menu to try a OS reinstall

Re: ReadyNAS312 Firmware Upgrade to 6.7.4 - Will Not Boot
With the initramfs corrupt the system will fail to boot and the boot menu won't work. You do need to do USB Boot Recovery to fix this: How do I use the USB Recovery Tool on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system?
If the tool isn't working for you you could try using Rufus to create the USB key.
The tool does currently expect a USB key with the MBR partitioning scheme with a partition on it containing the boot recovery files.
You can try this initrd.gz and kernel instead if you want:

https://www.readynas.com/contributed/mdgm/r6usbboot/latest/kernel
Using these it'll boot to a tech support mode like state. RAIDar should reflect this.

Thanks mdgm
USB Recovery Tool worked perfectly and my RN312 is back up an running.
Note: it did take me 3 USB key's before one would work - not sure why?

Some USB keys are incompatible.

Re: ReadyNAS312 Firmware Upgrade to 6.7.4 - Will Not Boot
I also had the same issue this weekend with my ReadyNAS 314. We had a power outage and it wouldn't boot back up with the message mount_block_root +1f1 on the LCD. I had to try 5 different USB flash drives until I got one to work, and it was an extremely old Kingston 128MB drive, it still had room even though the directions said 256MB was the minimum.
Is this something I am going to have to worry about in the future when I reboot the ReadyNAS, or is it fixed for good?

I've tried several USBs, all newish, without success. I'll try and hunt down something old. Maybe that's the silver bullet.

Some have had greater success using a 3rd party tool such as Rufus to setup the USB Boot Recovery key.

Re: ReadyNAS312 Firmware Upgrade to 6.7.4 - Will Not Boot
Although I would agree, my 10 year old Imation 4GB USB key was the one that worked in this case.
the only other sub 16GB keys I had were a 4 year old Kingston Data Traveller and 2 year old 4GB genieric event givaway key - neither of which would work
All my "new" USB keys are 32 and 64GB ones and I tend to find these don't make good boot drives (as per experiences with other devices).

Re: ReadyNAS312 Firmware Upgrade to 6.7.4 - Will Not Boot
You may not be pressing the backup button for long enough.
The process to boot a RN312 off a connected USB Boot Recovery key is simple:
- Press and hold backup button
- Briefly press power button to turn NAS on
- Continue holding the backup button until it boots off USB
What do you see on a HDMI display when attempting to boot off USB vs booting normally?
Also we do have an experimental update to USB Boot Recovery which should work in more situations: https://www.readynas.com/contributed/mdgm/usbbootrecovery/usbrecovery.v2.0.R15-T3.zip
