Re: Firmware upgrade bricked Linkstation LS-XHL E06

If the unit is in EM mode then you cannot perform a TFTP becuase the unit is acutally booting its running off of the flash.  What you need to try is the Force Firmware and check the boxes for Delete User Config and Rebuild Partition Table.  Please note that this will erase all data.

NAS Model LS-XHL.5TL-EU, less than a year old

 

Worked fine until today. It started blinking Red 6 times. At first NAS navigator found it reporting it was in emergency mode. NAS was not in use at time nor flash upgrade or anything like it was performed.

 

After 3-4 reboots there is no way NAS Navigator2 or LS updater can see the unit.

 

After numerous atempts on different computers i managed to load files via TFTP boot:

 


 

I am stuck here. Any ideas? TFTP loading means that it reads from memory and the disk might be broken?

 

The unit blinks red six times, after pressing function blinks blue.

 

Is there something i can try or is there any software i am not aware yet to diagnose the unit?

 

TNX for reply in advance!

Did you try running the firmware update immediately after per my walkthrough?

Greatest explanation of the basic internet function.

I chuckled at this, but in all honesty it is useful for forum posting. Not just here, but every forum.
