My HDD went defective, replaced the 2 gb with a 4gb HDD.
Now the LED keeps orange and cannot be reached, what is the way to make it running again?
If using a single bay/single drive My Cloud, did you run one of the various unbricking procedures on the new drive before putting the drive back into the My Cloud enclosure?
One can unbrick their single bay My Cloud unit using the methods posted by user Fox_exe. Note you will need to know which single bay My Cloud version you have (first gen v4.x firmware or second gen v2.x firmware) as the unbrick directions are different for each version.
The main Fox_exe repositories for multiple My Cloud models can be found here:
https://fox-exe.ru/WDMyCloud/
First gen directions:

Russian: https://fox-exe.ru/WDMyCloud/WDMyCloud-Gen1/Replace%20HDD.txt
The img files needed for the first gen Fox directions can be found in the WDMyCloud-Gen1/Backups folder in the main Fox_exe respoitory link above.
Second gen directions:

Various files used in the second gen Fox_exe unbrick directions can be found in the WDMyCloud/WDMyCloud-Gen2 repository.
