Linkstation Live: ACP_State-Failure despite forcedupdate and TFTP boot

[Ker76]

Hi there,

 

my LS-CHL (1,0 TB, Euro Version, blue webinterface) greeted me with a E06 Error (six red flashes in a row) after my baby flipped over the NAS. Due to the not-that-hard crash (didn´t fall down, just flipped over), I hoped for recovery and tried to force an update exactly following the guidelines in the FAQ posts, especially part 2. When starting the update, LSupdate showed the following warning message:

 

"Couldn't confirm that the partition exists on the TARGET. Updater will format the TARGET and will update the TARGET ***All of data will be lost*** Do you want to format and update the TARGET?"

 

I chose "yes" but LSUpdater immediately stopped the formatting process reporting an ACP_STATE_FAILURE. After further research I sucessfully went through the TFTP boot procedure exactly as decribed in FAQ 3 of 5. After that the Livestation rebooted in EM mode

 

(a hint for those still trying: after the TFTP data being sent to the livestation, allow a lot of time to pass - after about 10-15 minutes the LS-CHL finally reboots into EM).

 

After the TFTP procedure, LSupdater still canceled the formatting and the update reporting an ACP_STATE_FAILURE.

 

So I dwelved even deeper into what I never wanted to know and used the ACP_Commander to empty the boot sector (to make place for the updater information). The ACP Commander reported ACP Status as OK, so after that I again went through the TFTP procedure.

 

However, nothing changed: whenever I start the LSupdater with a forced update, I get the ACP_STATE_FAILURE. This includes forced updates where I untick the "update BOOT" option in the debug mode of LSupdater.

 

Would you have any clue what that could mean? Well one explanation might be that the hard disk is indeed broken in the boot sector. That seems unlikely to me however given the incident that caused the whole chaos (a simple flipover).

 

As I tried almost everything by now, I wonder whether I have any other option that openig the case and extracting the hard disk to read it from a linux computer...

 

Thanks for your help!

Please try placeing the unit into EM mode before performing the update http://forums.buffalotech.com/t5/Storage/FAQ-1-of-5-EM-Mode-boot-procedures-please-read-this/td-p/11008" rel="nofollow" target=_blank>http://forums.buffalotech.com/t5/Storage/FAQ-1-of-5-EM-Mode-boot-procedures-please-read-this/td-p/11008  this can help to remedy ACP errors, if the errors still persist an RMA (if within warranty) may be required

HI and thanks for the quick response,

 

however I read the first part of the FAQ already and the unit always goes into EMmodeafterthe TFTP boot.I´lltryagain though.We´ll see!
