Anyway to recover if I brick?

WD External Drives My Passport Wireless
1

Hello Community,

I’ve recently bought the 2TB Passport Wireless and I really want to play around with it! I know it will void my warranty but I would like to install Gentoo on it. I’ve done similar in the past with MyCloud and MyBook nas devices but with those, I had a way to recover if I brick it… With the Wireless, from what I can tell is that the OS is store on board (some type of EMMC) so I don’t feel comfortable trying anything unless I have a way recover… I’ve search around and found nothing on how to get a clean debian or anything on this device or a way to unbrick. I see that one of the manual ways to update the firmware is using the SD card. Would this work if I brick the device? Does anyone have a solution for a bricked device?

MPW’s firmware source code is available from  WD Downloads. I failed to tune it completly and found an easier way for  my purpose but you can try yourself.

I suppose SD recovering won’t work without related software. But I see no obstacles to use the same procedures in Gentoo. You’ll just need to tune them yourself.

If you don’t care about your warranty, you can open the MPW case and take the HDD itself from the case and treat it as usual HDD (e. g. make an image and so on) and even try your ideas with another HDD first. But I’d prefer a soft way.

Yes, I already did the teardown and was going to use dd to make a “recovery” but I noticed there was only one partition. Yes it stopped a little short of all of the possible sectors so there might be a hidden partition (my guess that’s where /dev/sdb comes from?) but there’s no OS on the hard drisk, just the drive where your data is stored. Interesting enough, I attached the battery back to the board and powered it up without an hard drive and it boots up fine remembering my previous settings. I can connect to it with WiFi, explorer the web based UI (storage is missing [duh] and it does complain about sharing software but I assume it’s because it can’t find the directories), and ssh into it. Even further proving that the OS is on board/eMMC.  

Like I said, I’m just looking for a way to unbrick, I know a little bit about the ‘arm’ world and more about Linux so I feel confident about playing around but I really want a way to recover first. . I mainly want to install Gentoo so I can remove the stuff I don’t use/like, add features I do want/like, and allow for password protect/multiple users/etc. I would use a RPI or an Odroid but MPW is nicely packaged and pretty vs something I could aseemble on my own. If the current firmware wasn’t lacking many things I want, I would just fine tune it like you.

Just for reference, here’s a listing with no hard disk attached.

Edited to put the output of ‘fdisk -l’ into a spoiler section.

  1. Do you mean MPW works without its HDD (when it’s removed) as usual? It’s very interesting. It means MPW has internal memory (like SD) where all the interface is stored.
  2. Do you mean you didn’t find OS on the HDD? I was sure OS is there. However, it can be located in the internal memory. it would be very interesting to find it out.
  3. In you purpose I’d try to tune the system through SSH. If you know Linux, it won’t be difficult too much.

  1. Yes, it appears that the OS is on the board and not like the older MyCloud/Book drives. Otherwise I would already be trying to boot Gentoo. :slight_smile:  I’m positive it’s there otherwise I should not of been able to boot it up without a HD and still have my different SSID (wifi name), passwords, etc.

  2. Nope, There’s only one partition on the drive that starts at sector 1 and goes to 3898574847. There’s a remaining 8454321 secotrs after this ‘unused’, maybe that’s sdb that’s displayed with the HD attached? It can’t be the OS from the results in answer #1.

  3. Yes, until there’s a ‘recovery’ method I think I will just try to tune/tweak the official firmware :frowning:

P.S. Is anyone here with a MPW good with electronics that could help? I noticed 4 pads on one side of the board (possible USB2 or a serial connection?) and a serveral on the otherside (possible jtag?). I’m more of a software guy and don’t know much about the hardware/electornics side of things but would assume that they used ones of these (probably the 4 pin) for the factory programming. I can share the pics I took of the board if someone would like to see them… The board looks identical to

http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/4108#6

except in pic #6, it doesn’t have that clip for what’s labeled J11

Thank you much for the pictures!

Concerning the point 2. Through SSH the disc content is displayed in the folder /DataVolume/. The same content is displayed in the folder /var/ftp/Public/. I know Linux too little to evaluate what it means. In terms of Windows it looks like usual folders located on the same disc where the OS is.

It will be perfect if you manage to find a way to tune access rules through the official firmware. It takes too much time for me to learn Linux. But I can help if you give a hint where to seek.

By the way, an interesting script is in the file /usr/local/sbin/setSharePublic.sh.

Sure, I will share anything that I discover that others will get some type of benefit. Thanks for pointing me to the WD scripts on the official firmware!

My pics are located at  https://pudlez.net/mpw/

I know they load a little slow but I left them full quality. They could be better as well but I was mainly focused on the pads since I think they hold the key to the recovery I want. I just wish I was better with the hardware side of things!

I’m not sure it matters, but I noted the inscription “AVATAR MB” on the picture 0013. As I had found earlier, in the firmware source code archive MPW’s OS files are stored in the folder \buildroot-GPL\primax_packages\wdcore_avatar. Perhaps, the module with the inscription “AVATAR MB” is the storage with MPW’s OS?

I suppose it’s absolutely reasonable decision to provide MPW with an independent storage for OS. You can change HDDs easily not having to reinstall OS.

Do you know if it’s possible to boot a custom built kernel from sdcard ?
Do you have access to uboot shell through UART ?

I’ve added an image of the pinout for uart. I’ve uploaded to the previous directory I shared and also uploaded to imgur.

You must use dd to Backup the Contents of the mtd Devices. Because those are the ones containing everything.

In case you brick your Device you can use that Backups to reflash the ROM. If you brick your Device and it won’t boot at all, then you would need to desolder the SPI Flash and flash the Contents of your Backups.

But WD always has two Bootloaders in their Flash based Drives. The Recovery U-Boot loads first and checks the Flash and the GPIO’s for a Button Press. If everything looks good then the second U-Boot gets loaded and starts the regular kernel with the regular Root.

So unless you do not touch the very First Sectors of the Flash you should be good. The internal Flash is to small to hold a good Base System of Gentoo or Debian anyway. So the only thing you would need to tinker with would be the second Stage Bootloader and the Kernel in order to start your Base System from HDD or preferably from SDD.

You can leave the original Root FS as it is in order to have a Fallback Safety when things go wrong.

Hi,

here is the dmesg (throught ssh) I got from a WD Wireless.

Machine: am335xevm

I guess it would be feasible to get openwrt.

well before porting to an other distro, it would be nice to update kernel, I’ve isolated some patches and now consider to port to device trees, feel free to pm me I will share more info.

Hi,

I uncompressed the firmware and I found u-boot, rootfs and other stuff.
I am convinced that openwrt could be ported on this device but I have almost no experience in building openwrt.

How to PM you ?

Best regards,
