ReadyNas 104 Boot from USB failed! after firmware update
Hello,
I have updated my readyNas 104 through raidar from firmware 6.9.4 hotfix tp 6.9.5. It is now flashing its lights and stating Boot from USB failed! I have not tried a cold restart yet or anything likfe factory reset (if you can). There are no USBs or an UPS attached. It is out of its warranety
So Im going to try USB recovery following the arm firmware from this guide:
To create a USB recovery drive for an ARM-based system:
You can use these instructions for recovering ARM-based ReadyNAS storage systems.
If your ReadyNAS system is x86-based, you must use the USB Recovery Tool software, which is only supported on Windows.
Find a USB drive with a capacity that is greater than 256 MB, but no more than 32 GB.
Ensure that the USB drive has only one partition.
Format the USB drive as FAT, FAT-32, or MS-DOS file system.
Make a note of the drive letter your USB drive is assigned after formatting.
Copy data to the USB:
If your ReadyNAS system is an RN102, RN104, or RN2120, copy initrd-recovery.gz and NTGR_USBBOOT_INFO.txt files from the Marvell directory onto the USB drive. Then copy to the USB drive the uImage-recovery file from the Marvell/[MODEL] directory, where [MODEL] is rn102, rn104, or rn2120.
If your ReadyNAS system is an RN200 or RN210 series, copy initrd-recovery.gz, NTGR_USBBOOT_INFO.txt, and uImage-recovery from the rn2xx folder to your USB drive.
