TFTP Boot recovery CS-WV2.0/1D

[thombliss]

After stupidly formatting both my drives in our CloudStor, I need to go through the TFTP boot and Force firmware update.  There was no CS-WV2.0 TFTP Boot Recovery available from the suggested ftp://24.153.165.234/array1/share/nas-recovery/">ftp://24.153.165.234/array1/share/nas-recovery/  .  I tried the available CS-WX, but it didn't work.  The boot images get loaded, the data blocks get served ok, and I successfully get all the way to step 11 on thehttp://forums.buffalotech.com/t5/Storage/FAQ-2-of-5-Force-Firmware-update-procedure-please-read-this/td-p/68108"> Force Firmware update FAQ.  Then, after clicking update and watching the green bar optimstically move towards the end...error!

 

Running Buffalo CloudStor Series Updater Ver. 1.02 

Get the message - " Can't confirm response.  Check the IP of the device and PC.  Disable Firewall.  Update aborted" (I paraphrased)

 

IP address on PC was set to 192.168.11.1

IP address on CS-WV was set to 192.168.11.150

 

Windows Firewall was disabled 100%

 

Anyone have any brilliant suggestions?  Use the proper TFTP boot recovery?  Did I use the wrong firmware version? (127)

 

I desparetly need this back up ASAP, we're running document management through this between our few small offices, and without it productivity has sunk, and things are becoming a mess.  Thanks!

I used this file for my CS-XWL, it should work on a LS-WVL.

ftp://24.153.165.234/array1/share/nas-recovery/TFTP%20Boot%20Recovery%20CS-WX%201.01.exe">ftp://24.153.165.234/array1/share/nas-recovery/TFTP%20Boot%20Recovery%20CS-WX%201.01.exe

CS-WVL are a faster version and they share the same firmware.

Firmware version is OK.

 

Are you using a direct cable connection?

If not, try it.

What about antivirus?

Have you tried with one disk only?

I am also looking to rebuild a CS-WV2.0/1D.  I understand you saying you think it should work with the boot image for the wx, but is there a correct one somone could throw on your ftp for this model?  there is still nothing in the ftp folder for that model, I would be really suprised if the firmware would be interchangable with the WX, a model with completely different hardware.  I have bricked hardware with the wrong firmwares in the past and would not like to relive that experience.  thanks in advance!
