I got your new 8451 DSM files “DSM-wdmc-gen2-8451.pat” & “wd-to-dsm-8451.bin” from your ftp,
I have tried to upload the bin file in recovery mode but fail…Could you let me know how to use the bin file and boot to DSM via webinstaller? Thank you so much!!
.bin (firmware file for install via WD webgui) not working (idk why).
Test it later. Use “hand” method - replace files in /boot/boot folder.
But here few bug’s:
If HDD less that 2TB - dsm format it as MBR (But need GPT). So, need reformat hdd to GPT (Use debian image for that, or your PC)
Once i have strange bug: /boot folder on 3rd partition not seen by bootloader, but exist on disk. Just recreate this folder (Save files inside!). Use debian for that, or telnet access when DSM in recovery mode.
Many thanks for your reply, replace “files” in /boot/boot folder, …which files? is it extracted from “usb-boot.zip”?
let say…forget the bin file, it useless at the moment?
Hello @Fox_exe. I noticed that in your site (WDMyCloud-Gen1 - DSM6_test) are 2 files (uImage, uRamdisk ) to perform a test to Logfile UART. I would do it myself but I can not boot together.
Could you tell me the correct steps you used to start them?
I will send you the Bootlog UART as soon as possible, thanks for your work!
Hi @Fox_exe!
I did the test with UART. I tested before uImage and then uRamdisk because I do not know how to test them together simultaneously in a single session.
If I have to try uImage + uRamdisk simultaneously please tell me how to do.
I conducted the tests with HDD disconnected.
In your “Recovery” package is the Recovery file to be loaded via TFTP … This is an image with uImage + uRamdisk merged into a single file?
Appearance your directives on the next test I have to do. Greetings!
Hi @Fox_exe
I did the following tests with UART with the parameters suggested by you:
I have tested your files (uImage and uRamdisk) together simultaneously in a single session.
I tested the original Synology DSM_DS414j_8451.pat file (zImage and rd.bin) together in one session simultaneously
PS: The tests were performed with hard drive disconnected.
PS2: This is the permitted use of “bootm” in barebox 2011.06.0
Barebox-C2K >/ bootm -h
bootm advanced options:
-r [initrd] specify an initrd image
-a [arch] use architecture number [arch]
-R [system_rev] use system revison [system_rev]

Hello I redid the UART log because I realized that the command to start the images was wrong.
Using the zImage + rd.bin by Synology, you start perfectly until you get to “DiskStation login:” but I can not do the login because I do not know the credentials (I tried admin and root as the user and blank for the password). WDMC G1 UART Test2 (DSM_DS414j_8451.pat).zip (10.1 KB)
PS: The tests were performed with hard drive disconnected.
Looking at the internet should be a problem with the LZMA compression.
You could try to send the uncompressed images. When everything is functioning will adjust the compression.
Using uImage_and_uRamdisk, I get so many messages and kernel panic in the end. I compared this log with the log only uImage and are equal, so not sure if uRamdisk is effectively acting.
The kernel is not working, needs to be corrected WDMC G1 UART Test1 (DSM6_test v05-Oct-2016 22.36).zip (12.9 KB)
maybe you can take a look at the logs I posted earlier:

Hi @Fox_exe
I started zImage + rd.bin (Synology) and I managed to find the password to access DiskStation>:
I can run commands but I have no module loaded for eth0. you want me to run a few commands to get info? if the answer is yes, let me know which
