ts-210 doesnt boot and NO tftp flash possible

[lordvampire]

hy all,

my TS210 does not boot anymore....
what did i do?
1) installed actual firmware 3.61
2) followed http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/q ... stall.html
3) after flashing initrd and kernel, rebooted
4) since then, no booting (means no beep) only red/green status led / waited hours

i could not access debian installer, ts210 got no ip from my router...

the i tried to reset,... no changes..
everytime when i reset the LED for status is blinking red.. if a start without reset the status-LED ist changing from red to green... but in both cases i get no beep at all....

i tried to flash my TS210 newly via TFTP and followed the instructions here http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Firmware_Recovery, but also without luck..
somehow i don´t get into recovery-mode...

i am in also touch with martin michlmayr from http://www.cyrius.com/.....

has someone ideas? i would like to see what serial console gives out, but i don´t know how to solder and where to get the right parts from, so...

The exact same situation with my TS-110. Please help!

[lordvampire]

update: my bro-in-law will solder my serial connector, he already has the rs232-coneector and the board.. we ordered today the MAX233(level shifter)..
don´t know how long we have to wait for the level shifter..

nobody out there, who can help????

i found out that the CD has no specific file for neither TS-210 or TS-110.... As you can read here http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/q ... overy.html, the NAS wants a specific Filename. In case of the TS-210 it wants a filename starting with F_TS-210..
In the directory /tftpboot on the recoveryCD provided here http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Firmware_Recovery are only Files named
F_TS-119, F_TS-119PE, F_TS-219, F_TS-219PE, F_TS-419P and F_TS-419U

If cyrius is right, this CD cant flash my TS-210 and also not the TS-110 from statuscue....

Can somebody build a .img for me from a working TS-210??? here is a guide http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/q ... overy.html

PLEEEAAAASSSEEEE , so i could start the iso from a pen (unetbootin) and add the builded .img-file !!!

pleeeeaassseee...

yeaaahhhhhaaaaa .. I DID IT..

what did i do?

1) build a "F_TS-210_qnap" as described here http://cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ ... overy.html (i had no mtd0, got it from michael michlmayr! thx)
2) installed LinuxMint on vmware / network bridged! important!
3) installed package tftpd-hpa with apt-get and copy your F_TS-210_qnap to /var/lib/tftpboot
4) installed isc-dhcp-server as described here http://comtech247.net/2012/01/03/how-to ... x-mint-12/
4.1) don´t fix your ip BEFORE installation, you need the internet connection to download the software
4.2) you have to edit /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf diffently: change all "10.0.0" to "192.168.1" / your IP will be fixed later to 192.168.1.1
5) now change your IP adress to a FIXED IP 192.168.1.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.254, no gateway.. i did it with the network-manager..
6) disable network / enable network so it restarts network
7) restart tftpd

Code: Select all

service tftpd-hpa restart

8 ) restart isc-dhcp-server

Code: Select all

service isc-dhcp-server

9) connect your nas with a ethernet-cable to your network card
10) shut down NAS
11) press reset button and hold while starting NAS till it beeps TWICE, then release reset-button
12) find out MAC adress of NAS in recovery mode with this command

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/syslog | grep DHCPD

you should get something like

Code: Select all

DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0c:29:1e:40:21 via eth0

13) edit again the file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and add following lines

Code: Select all

host ts210 {
    hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:1e:40:21;
    filename "F_TS-210_qnap";
    fixed-address 192.168.1.71;
    next-server 192.168.1.1;
}


14) do step 8, step 10, step 11
15) your NAS should now be in recovery mode, got the IP 192.168.1.71 from dhcp server and the file from ../tftpboot
16) check with ifconfig if your TX bytes raises.. if is raises fast.. YOU ARE LUCKY...


after about 2min you hear a long beep and this means your device is FLASHED..........

I've found the solution. Tha latest manual says:

Note: Please use the ISO file (a) for 1-bay and 2-bay NAS models (TS-110/210/119/219/219P). If you failed to recover the NAS with the ISO file (a), please try the ISO file (b).

When I boot with Flash_Reburn_live-cd-2009-12-09(TS-410&410U&419P&419U).iso, there are files named F_TS-110, F_TS-119, F_TS-210, F_TS-219, F_TS-410, F_TS-410U, F_TS-419P and F_TS-419U in /tftpboot. With this .iso, I can flash my TS-210 correctly.
