Ok.
ended with removing the HDD deleting all the partitions in windows. recovered the data though with a flick ;p
for those who have trouble recovering data here is a very simple solution. boot the drive with PC linux live CD, the drive is not encrypted and your entire data is visible just with a simple click.
Now back to business!
The firmware on this linkstation is
VERSION=1.62-0.04
INITRD=2014/12/25 22:45:24
ROOTFS=2014/12/25 23:33:10
After wiping the entire HDD along with the partitions the linkstation now is flashing RED (7 times) reading forums its stated as RAM HDD or LAN issues (which is totally not true).
Holding down function just for a second and the Linkstation is booted into Emergency Mode (i assume as its accepting TFTP packets),
now here comes the main problem. I just checked kinda everywhere and can't find the right TFTP boot recovery software for LS210D linkstation.
To be honest i checked what was inside the package (TFTP) its just three files that's needed really.
uImage.buffalo
u-boot.buffalo
initrd.buffalo
Ok this is now the problem, all of these files are included in the firmware file, which is a good thing. a simple work around would be simply replacing them with the one from the firmware, however there is a serious problem. Buffalo changed the passwords for the image and there is no way it can be extracted without a password. Reading through a few forums i found out the passwords for the older versions. which is 1NIf_2yUOlRDpYZUVNqboRpMBoZwT4PzoUvOPUp6l (yea i know thats a hell lot of work for a password retriever software).
So now i am stucked again. the linkstation is accepting TFTP file transfer however i don't have a valid Boot image to pass onto it.
One thing i am still very much confused about is the fact that i still can't see the link station in LS Updater, Nas Navigator or in the router DHCP client list.
The ip address maybe random but connecting it several times i get an ip 192.168.11.150 , its shown in TFTP window.
very confusing uptill now. i hope it will be fixed. finger crossed.
By the way you guys could say a hello and i think that will make me feel a little better ;p
pretty much on my own uptill now
cheers
