updateFile.deb UPDATED TO WORK WITH CURRENT AND FUTURE FIRMWARE

Ok this was a tough one but I got it working over here perfectly after creating my own update deb file :slight_smile:

  1. Download the latest MBL firmware from http://download.wdc.com/nas/apnc-023205-046-20120910.deb

  2. Download 7zip from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

  3. Install 7zip and open it and point it to the MyBookLive firmware “apnc-023205-046-20120910.deb” and double click and you will see “data.tar” where you will again double click and be presented with a “.”  Double click the “.” then double click “cache volume” then double click “upgrade” and then highlight “rootfs.img” and hit extract

  4. Copy “rootfs.img” to the root of your Public share on your MyBookLive

  5. Download my updateFile.deb from http://www.mediafire.com/?6yyo0vacy2ijquv

  6. Open the dashboard and go to Settings/ Updates /Update From File and point it to updateFile.deb that you downloaded in step 5 and click OK

  7. My updateFile.deb will simply copy my modified resetButtonAction.sh file to your MyBookLive

  8. Your drive will reboot… Allow it to totally reboot and press in the reset button on the back of the MyBookLive for 5-8 seconds (This will start the debricking script)

  9. The light will start flashing red…It is running a script which is doing a factory fresh OS install on your drive from the file you placed in your Public folder

  10. The drive will reboot when the script is done and you should now be on factory fresh 023205-046-20120910 firmware

  11. Report back :slight_smile:
