Hi

I had a problem that i couldn’t do anything with Mycloud, and  i was trying to restore rootfs partition, but i made a mistake and restore all the disk with the rootfs.img. My question is 

Has someone got full backup of all partition of WDMyCloud 4 tb or can i trow it to the garbage?

Ok i have the disk fully restore thanks you so much :smiley:

But now it’s saying that i don’t have any space left, i’am making a Full Factory Reset and then i’ll update the firmware, and maybe it ill solve the problem. Or did i screw up during the restore of the disk?

Thanks again !

Just do “quick reset” from web gui (not full reset).

Hi

After the quick restore, i have full acess on web  gui, and  can delete and create share, so i tried to upgrade the firmware, it has done all the steps, but since i upgrade to the new firmware, i can only acess web gui for 30s, and iam losing the connection with MyCloud every time…

Do reset again. (poweroff, press reset hole, poweron, wait ~1min)

I did the reset as you said, and the 40s reset but i still have no acess… I don’t know what else i can do… Do i need to restore the hdd again?

I tried to do all the process again, i reboot the wdmycloud and was ok. Tried to upgrade de firmware and it happened again…

I have a doubt about the process to replace the hdd

8-1. Prepare main RAID partition (For rootfs): mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --metadata=0.9 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
* Type "watch cat /proc/mdstat" and wait 100%. Then - [ctrl] + [c] for close.

^On this part it is supposed to create another drive separately from the wdmycloud disk ?

hi diaahussein,

thanks for your advice, i successfully bring my dead cloud (4tb) back to live. After trying so many tips from another thread (which are useless for me).

Now i decide to not enable ssh connection anymore, a slightly wrong permission grant (chmod) can cause the "DEAD BRICK’

regards.
