Hello,
Since I have problem with the latest firmware, I wonder if I can download previous firmware 3.3.02-165 and manually downgrade my wd cloud?
Also if this is possible, where can I download previous firmware version?
Thank you.
Before I had 3.3.02.165.
With the latest I have problems with loosing connection to my cloud, I need to reboot the device, if I want to get it back on the network.
Ok I found the link http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/Download-older-firmware/m-p/647095/highlight/true#M3508
Why would be downgrading difficult, can’t I just manually update with previus version?
br, Niko

grobelsekn,
You can downgrade your firmware, but you need to download the firmware you want to go back to from here:
http://support.wd.com/product/download.asp?groupid=904&sid=211&lang=en
After unzipping the file to get to your *.DEB version you have to rename that version. So lets say you are on 3.3.02.165 and you want to go back to 03.03.01.156, do the following.
-
Download gpl-source-wd_my_cloud-03.03.01-156.zip
-
Unpack the zip file to the *.DEB file.
-
Rename the *.DEB file to a version number that is highr than the version you are on. Example: rename 03.03.01.156 to 3.3.02.166 to replace 3.3.02.165.
-
Go to your Dashboard and do a manual firmware update. This will restore the older firmware.
BEWARE : that any scripts/functions that have been changed with the firmware you are on and are not addressed with the older firmware are still the current version’s script. I would do this as a last resort in trying to find a fix elsewhere on the forum.

Thank you this is what I was looking for.
I tried this but it kept saying invalid file… .even though i grabbed the firmware from the WD site.
in the zip file there isn’t the *.deb file !
Where can we download the deb file ?
Downgrade done, pretty straightorward if care is taken.
Everything working as it should, I will be extremely cautious about any further upgrade now :manvery-happy:
Can you explain how to unzip the file to the DEB file? the source file only has a whole batch of single files but no massive zip file containing a deb file
Don’t looSe your time, go here : http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/HDD-SSD-NAS-USB-Flash/Western-Digital/
Here you will find the deb file. But when I tried to install, the wd told me that there was a problem Whit the firmware. I solved with a ssh connection, modifying the *.sh file and starting upgrades from ssh console
