Hi! I tried installing Debian on my MyCloud Gen2 following the steps at https://ftp.anionix.ru/WDMyCloud/WDMyCloud-Gen2/Debian/ and it got bricked. It shows a yellow light, and it connects to the router and gets an IP (it replies to ping) but it has no open ports, no way to connect to it (no web, n…

Hello, I have never tried this since it is not supported. However, on this community we have a lot of experienced users that might be able to share some comments on this thread.

@Tomas_Nunez did you get any further with this? I have a drive at the same safe mode screen requesting 1.01.007 firmware after replacing a dead drive following @Fox_exe instructions from https://ftp.anionix.ru/WDMyCloud/WDMyCloud-Gen2/_Unbricking_en.txt to setup the new drive.

[image] Daemonic: I have a drive at the same safe mode screen requesting 1.01.007 firmware… The single bay/single drive My Cloud gen 2 didn’t have a firmware with the version number of 1.01.007. The intial firmware for the gen 2 single bay My Cloud was 2.10.302. The current firmware is 2.21.1…

Cheers Bennor, i thought as much :frowning: I’ve managed to restore to the new drive now from the dd image i made so all is good :slight_smile:

Hi Bennor, do you found a solution for your problem cause I got the same one. I have WD My Cloud Gen 2 with 2 TB and tried to fit a 3 TB HDD in. No chance to get the blue light. I recognized to late that there are two generations that have nothing in common…

@mastergilgalad , you may have replied to the wrong person. I don’t have a gen 2 v2.x My Cloud. I was simply replying to Daemonic that there isn’t a v1.x firmware version for the gen 2 single bay My Cloud units.

Yes. that’s exactly the problem: The device was requesting 1.01.007 firmware but that version doesn’t exist, the first one is 2.10. It didn’t accept any firmware version I uploaded.

I have the same problem. how to solve?

Anyone have any luck on this? I’m in the exact same situation and I’m not sure what firmware to use

Maybe someone can share a disk image I can “dd” as the ones I found for Gen1 at [GUIDE] Debrick a completely dead MyCloud?

Or help troubleshooting why my nas is unavailable either through ssh or http when I follow the steps to install debian…
