Only workaround. I cant fix it because cant find what program changed (break) these libs.
Hallo zusammen ich hoffe es ist jemand hier der Deutsch kann und mir helfen kann das DSM auf meine wdmycloud gen1 zu bekommen da ich mit der Beschreibung nicht ganz so zurecht komme.
Eventuell kann das auch jemand über teamviewer machen wenn ich ihm den Zugang gebe oder es mir so gut erklären das sogar ein blöder wie ich es hin bekomme.
Hi, I hope there is someone here who can speak German and help me to get the DSM on my wdmycloud gen1 because I’m not quite as coped with the description.
Maybe somebody can do that via teamviewer if I give him access or explain it to me so well that even a stupid guy like me gets it.

Hi,
I have a mycloud ex4 on my desktop and want to have a clean debian system.
I found this site, and the link to the files, but I didn’t found a good howto, so I have some questions:
- What about this app?
http://fox-exe.ru/WDMyCloud/WDMyCloud-Ex4/Apps/WDMyCloudEX4_Debian-armel_8.0-2.bin
I think it is a chroot environment. It’s maybe the best way for me, but it doesn’t work. I installed the app and nothing happens. How can I use the chroot system??
-
Maybe I want to install a real debian, not the chroot. Is there any documentation how to do this?
-
By the way, where is the origin firmware stored? Is there a flash storage on the ex4??
regards
tux007
- Yes, its chroot’ed debian. Login:
chroot /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Apps/chroot/chroot /bin/bash - https://fox-exe.ru/WDMyCloud/WDMyCloud-Ex4/Debian/
- Nand chip on board. (256 or 512MB). 3rd partition (compressed squashfs, mounted as “loop” device with changes stored in RAM.)
Seems like Ex4 similar to Ext2 Ultra / Mirror Gen2. Read documentation for these devices.
Also check your CPU and RAM info. If Ex4 have same cpu and ram size - possible to use Debian (And documentations) from Mirror Gen2.
Hi there, could you PM me? (haven’t seen that button anywhere here :O) I have a few questions about how to upgrade an Ex2 NAS? In addition, some others about performance and apps which can be installed.
Thank you!
I tried to install the OMV to my Cloud Mirror Gen. 2.
But nothing worked as described. Now my Mirror is dead and I trie to install the Recovery Image.

There where no errors so all steps done, but I can’t access the WebGUI.
Just 404 Not found, and yes I got the new IP from my fritz.box.
Any suggestions?
Hi there,
I followed the Instructions to install DSM on my mirror gen 2. Then i wanted to go back to original Firmware and i followed the instruction to Go back. But now im stuck at the wd recovery page. Firebug told me about some js errors (some post request to system_mgr.cgi with „cmd“ Parameters ended in a 404-Error) . USB recovery also unsuccessful (wont boot from usb). Btw. non of the led are on (only at boot they are blinking)
Can anybody help???
I’m still the newbie that I was. But at least I can say that I own a WDMyCloud-EX2-Ultra.
Isn’t it possible to watch this lib files?
@All
But now to my actual question. Can you tell me or anyone here how to get docker on the mentioned device in the debian chroot? In the non chroot environment docker seems to be running, but I do not have access via ssh.
@Patjutzu
Schreib mir eine PN, wenn du immer noch Hilfe suchst.
@piksi
What do you mean with “upgrade an Ex2 NAS”?
@RockKeeper
Have you tried the alternative way described in _Unbricking_en.txt
@all
Forget it, i just started docker with /usr/sbin/docker_daemon.sh start.
@Q-Fireball Yes, it doesn’t seems to boot from USB (stick shows no activity, now yellow blinking lights, no telnet possible). Any other Idea? Do i have to do something else to get the box booting from USB-Stick? (Yes, its fat32 formatted )
No, the alternative way is to unplug the hard drives from the NAS and follow the instructions under:
Alternative way:
Use Debian / ubuntu or another Linux distribution (USB / CD Live Image)
All “/ dev / sda” will change to your hard drive! (List disks in the system: “parted -l”)
If this is a new hard disk or is damaged (formatted) old, first rebuild the partitions:
…
So I tried it since nearly one week to get my WDCloud Mirror 6TB working again.
I tried all stuff i could found. I extracted my HDD’s and bootet ubuntu live and formatted and restored my disks.
The LED is always blue (also if its just one disk inside both LED’s are blue), but I don’t get an WebGui its always 404 not found.
Is it important to have both disks running or should it also work with one disk?
Not sure what I can try further…
It’s not so important that I restore the original firmware, also DSM or OMV is okay, but I’m not able to get one of these running.
Please help me.
@B0mB3r
First you have to find the right device. Is it a mirror gen1 or a mirror gen2? And then just follow the instructions for the alternative way. As described, upload the official firmware via the recovery webgui. If you have the 404 error, you probably do not have the correct IP of the recovery webgui.
@all
Ok, the ex2’s original docker is too old and does not work as it should. How can I run Docker in the chroot environment? With me crashes immediately, as soon as I want to pull a container.
Thanks for your answer. That’s exactly what I did. But for the mirror Gen 2 there is no recovery image it’s just for mycloud Gen 2.
Also tried to use the original Images from the mirror Gen 2 folder, but nothing happens.
The ip is hopefully the ip from the device I see in my Fritz.box or is this ip different?!
After 10-20 seconds after I powered on the NAS, I see an new entry in my Fritz.box dashboard like “PC192-168-178-XX” which wasn’t there before so I guess this is the ip from my nas.
So you partitioned your HDD new with a live Linux and run
mkdir / mnt / boot mount / dev / sda3 / mnt / boot mkdir / mnt / boot / boot cp uImage-wdrecovery / mnt / boot / boot / uImage cp uRamdisk-wdrecovery / mnt / boot / boot / uRamdisk
With the uImage and uRamdisk from here?
And you didn’t get a recovery console on the new assigned ip address?
Can you ping the device? Can you telnet the device?
If everything is failing than you have to recover with a USB Serial cable and uart, but this is really work and usually means that you did something seriously wrong or even something is broken.
That’s correct. I always get 404 not found on the new IP.

I think this is working but get no UI =(
For me it’s not necessary to go back to Original UI. Like I mentioned before DSM or OMV would be a good alternative. Is there an Tutorial to install one of these without install the Firmware from the WD UI?
tried to install OVM + Debian, but it does not work. Any chance to install DSM from scratch?
Sorry for waiting, did you followed the instruction:
“On first login you can get “Error 404: Not found”. Just clear browser cache and check URL (There is no “/UI” string anymore)”
Hey,
Yes I’ve read that. I tried different Computers and different Browsers
