I have successfully created the partitions and copied the uImage and uRamdisk files (obtained from GitHub). I have also formatted all the partitions as Ext4.
PS Perhaps I should add that I was running OS 5 when the original HDD crashed after a power cut. This probably has a bearing on the correct image files.
You downloaded the two files from GitHub? What specific link did you use? What directions were you using to perform the unbrick?
Others have backed up the files that are typically used to unbrick a second generation single bay My Cloud (P/N ends with “-10”). Note: you generally only mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3).

Some general information on how to revert from OS5 back to OS3.
1 week ago, i upgraded MyCloud Gen2 to OS5. I have 3 of it actually. 1st one upgraded without issue. Indexing also completed by end of the day.
So i go ahead with the 2nd one and that is when i regretted doing it. Indexing never finish and the box seem hang. Only ping responded. To access the dashboard, i have to force power off/on but it hang again shortly. The only way to get it to work is to disable the cloud access. That’s stupid!!! IT IS NOT UPGRADE!
Hence i started to explore downgrading…
