New Release - Firmware Version 2.10.12-129 for My Book Live (3/14/12)

See the discussion thread: http://community.wdc.com/t5/My-Book-Live/Firmware-Upgrade-on-MBL-1TB/td-p/344059

Obviously the upgrade package file name will be different and the validation checksums for this latest firmware are:

File: apnc-021012-129-20120308.deb
CRC-32: 45e7e3e7
   MD4: dcfc1f71c55e4a28c34fc39c93dfd52b
   MD5: bd28f7605fcad509dc6b005a3f86ca23
 SHA-1: 94f877eaf914a7987b6722c1966a7012ae91de6b

File size is 126803726 bytes.

What the WebUI is supposed to do is copy the upgrade file to a specific directory on the MyBook Live and invoke the script that upgrades from file. Seems there is an issue with the WebUI receiving the file from some computers. I dare not try and use the WebUI to send the file over and invoke the update so not I copy the upgrade file to the Public folder and invoke the script directly to cut out the WebUI from the process and this seems to work fine.

When the WebUI gets stuck at 10%, it does not even begin creating a copy of the upgrade file on it’s disc.

The very least they can do is release a new firmware with all these issues fixed, then all of us that had issues with the web UI and the device acting up to update via SSH.

 

Anyone willing to post a detailed tutorial on how to update with SSH? Just in case they actually do release a fix for this faulty firmware.
