2024 - Is there any way to get a My Cloud Home working if it hasnt been activated yet?

Can I update the firmware manually somehow?

My Cloud Home Firmware Update Instructions (wd.com)

WD Documentation (wdc.com)

Really?

Is there anyone who successfully updated firmware on a not activated MCH recently?
Mine is an older device and wont stop blinking.

@Aakos02
Yes really. Did you look at the User Manual, Chapter One, Page four and look at Front LED. Check to see what the blinking means.

@cat0w
Yes I did.
It’s slowly blinking like every other MCH that has firmware related problem.
If the user manual could have solved my problem i wouldn’t be writing here.

I can’t activate it on WD’s site and when I try to access it through web browser it says: {“key”:“notFound”,“message”:“Not Found”}

My last hope is this thread.
