Not a problem. Already posted the procedure.
First, enable SSH. Login to the Dashboard UI and once you have the usual menu change the address on the browser to:
Enable SSH. Make sure that port 22 is NOT forwarded out to the Internet on the router and DO NOT put your MyBook Live on the router’s DMZ.
Next, download the latest fiwmare file from:
http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/?family=wdfmb_live
At the time of this message this downloads a file named apnc-021009-124-20111113.deb. Download this to the NAS’s Public folder.
Start a telnet session via. SSH to get the Linux’s command line and issue the following command:
/usr/local/sbin/updateFirmwareFromFile.sh /DataVolume/shares/Public/apnc-021009-124-20111113.deb
Obviously change the name of the upgrade file in the above command to match the name of the upgrade file you download.
You won’t get any progress feedback that the upgrade is actually happenng. You just need to wait. When the upgrade completes the MBL will simply reboot.
So far I’ve had 100% success rate at upgrading my MBL’s firmware, even with a totally bricked Dashboard UI.
Remember NOT to end the terminal session while the upgrade is in process.
