I'm going to do the wipe etc. Can I just confirm the procedure to follow, bearing in mind that I appear to be on a special version of OS 6.4.2-T72.
1. Backup (in my case it'll be 2 backups, one to an old NV+ and one to external HD's).
2. Settings>Configuration Backup>Everything
3. Perform the Factory Default as in http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20898/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xNDU0NTg1MTU4L3NpZC9saUJpU2RJbQ%3D%3D
4. After the reset has been performed, restore the configuration settings taken in step 2 (restart at all?).
5. Restore data from back drives.
6. Have a beer (or 2).
Are there any issues regarding my asymetrical drives? I have 4TB, 3TB, 3TB, 3TB.
Step 1.5 - uninstall all apps
Step 3.5 - reinstall all apps.
The most convenient way to do the default is from the web ui (systems->settings)
If you are using flexraid, you will need to destroy the xraid volume created by the default, and recreate your old volumes. You don't need to wait for the xraid volume to sync.
Your drive configuration won't be a problem, though if you are using the normal raid5/xraid you are losing 1 TB of space.
Thanks a mill. I'm using Xraid and planning to eventually upgrade all the drives to 4TB ones. A 3TB failed recently (one of the infamous Seagate 3TB **bleep**e drives!) and I replaced it with 4TB.
Just to be sure: a screenshot of the volumes page is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uve7gitjn56sxmw/Screenshot%202016-02-04%2012.00.20.png?dl=0

You are running normal xraid. Post back on how it goes (and whether the reset resolves your problem).
Thanks.
I'm currently running a stable system. Support got me working ok. I'm doing the reset to provide a fresh, new starting point. The only problem I've been left with is poor write speed. The other recent posts are from someone who has the same problem but has not managed to get back online yet. So he's doing the reset to get him running, I'm doing it for long term certainty!
I'm working on 2nd backup right now, then going with factory reset per Support recommendation - they have not provided any alternative workarounds. I will post my findings after. In some regard, glad we're not alone and it's impacting many. Let's hold hands..
We are certainly not the only ones, just do a search on "104 boot" and youll find a lot of similar reports of 104 (and other RN) not booting after 6.4 updates, prolly all more or less related.
Only "real solution" seems to be factory reset.

One is that the boot loader is updated when you first move to 6.4.x, and that update in particular sometimes fails.
