I just broke SSH on my MBL; need help

I would install a clean OS since you still have access to ssh

I would use 02.11.09-053 to debrick to… Then upgrade to the latest firmware after you get your shares all setup

So the complete steps would be

  1. Download resetButtonAction.zip from http://www.mediafire.com/?42pv7zrx1kx3xkk

  2. Download the firmware from http://download.wdc.com/nas/apnc-021109-053-20120413.deb

  3. Download 7zip from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

  4. Install 7zip and open it and find the MyBookLive firmware .deb file and double click it and you will see “data.tar” where you will again double click and be presented with a “.” Double click the “.” then double click “cache volume” then double click “upgrade” and then highlight “rootfs.img” and hit extract

  5. Copy rootfs.img to the root of your Public folder on the MyBookLive

  6. Unzip resetButtonAction.sh from the zip file downloaded in step 1

  7. Copy it to the Public folder and then run this command in PuTTY to copy it to the OS

    cp /DataVolume/shares/Public/resetButtonAction.sh /usr/local/sbin/resetButtonAction.sh

MAKE SURE IT ASKS IF YOU WANT TO OVERWRITE THE FILE

Type Y when asked if you want to overwrite the existing file

  1. Run the script in PuTTY (Windows) or Terminal (Mac) by typing

    /usr/local/sbin/resetButtonAction.sh

  2. The LED will blink red while the script is restoring a fresh copy of the firmware to your MyBookLive

  3. After several minutes, the drive should reboot and when you get to a solid green LED, access the dashboard and you should be asked to choose your language like you would if the drive was brand new

If your shares are still listed in the MyBookLive dashboard but are not accessible, rename the shares and then rename them back to get them linked properly again.
Example: Movies>Movies1>Movies

If your shares are missing in the MyBookLive dashboard, recreate them in the dashboard and you will be able to access your data again

A reboot is required to get the share and drive usage totals to reflect the actual data usage after these changes
