RN104 upgraded firmware 6.1.8 to 6.4.0 resulting in 'Booting...'

I did the upgrade via web admin page an after that the system hangs with display message 'Booting...'. A restart by disconnectiing power ends at the same point. What to do now? How to make a USB...

This morning i got an email from Netgear asking me to complete a RMA request to send the box back to Netgear.

But in the meanwhile i tried to make the firmware update again using the USB Recovery Tool as explained in http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29952. And it worked.

Thanks to gramoun for that useful hint.

Will this process work for the Readynas 102?

USB recovery works on the RN102, though of course there is no front panel.
