I've just got a problem: LS Live V2, worked well for 1.5 years, suddenly ran into EM mode, and never get out of it.
It can get IP from my DHCP server, and LSUpdater can find it with following info:
HOST="HS-DHGL-EM3D3"
WORKGROUP = "UNKNOWN"
IP-address = "192.168.1.138"
Firmware Ver = "----"
but cannot flash a new firmware. The error message is:
Couldn't confirm a response from HS-DHGL-EM3D3.
please check a network address of both PC and HS-DHGL-EM3D3.
Please disable the Firewall function if it is working on PC.
Updating is aborted
First of all, I made sure that was not network problem (PC and LS).
I then used acp_commander.jar and gained access to the box. I followed what I could find in the some forums, but I failed all the time :smileysad:
0) Initially in EM mode, the /boot is mounted with /dev/ls_disk1_1, changed it with /dev/sda1 (seems the same one), did not work.
1) checked /boot folder, did not find file "hddrootmode", nor "rootfs_ok". Then created them, and they DID exist after reboot, but LS did not work.
2) mount /dev/sda2 /rootfs, checked /rootfs/etc, there's no file "*booting*". But there's neither "linkstation_release", nor "linkstation_emergence", created these "linkstation*" files. Did not work.
3) checked /boot/boot_options, and the statement "MENU_TIMEOUT=4" is just what is expected.
4) the HDD seems OK, since I've successfully mounted /dev/sda1, sda2 sda6, and even list the contents of some files. I also checked them use fsck, no error messages.
5) Also tried TFTP appraoch: followed the instructions listed in http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/Revive_your_arm9_box_from_scratch, downloaded the software from ftp://24.153.165.234/disk1/share/nas-recovery/, installed TFTP server, setting my PC's ip to 192.168.11.1. Though I can ping LS box (192.168.11.150), but the tftp server cannot get any TFTP request.
I'm now stuck here and cannot access the files in LS pro box any longer.
Anything else I should check or perform? Any suggestions/hints are highly appreciated. Thanks.
