My Book Live (latest firmware) UI not working

Legacy Products My Book Live
1

I recently bought a 2TB MBL, haven’t done much with it bar updating the firmware when prompted but I have since done the following:

  • enabled SSH
  • logged in
  • ran apt-get install transmission-daemon (my first mistake)
  • accepted the various packages be installed
  • didn’t allow any files to be modified
  • transmission was working
  • UI stopped working*

*= the UI loads just fine, but does not allow access to any sub menus, just reloads back to default.

subsequently… ssh no longer works, transmission on longer loads http: // :9091

Struggling to work out how to fix this with no UI or SSH access! I have tried all kinds of URL combinations to try and access a manual firmware upload to overwrite my current mess, or a factory reset … so far with zero success.

Anyone got any bright ideas?

Thanks

Try

http://mybooklive ip/UI/settings/system

If you can get the menu to come up, update from file and point it to the latest firmware

Download the latest firmware here

Thanks. I finally got the URL to work after several attempts. Mostly it redirects straightback to the main UI screen (& URL). When it does open I get this error:

31125  - Error retrieving usage values: Internal server error. Retry your last operation. If the error persists, contact WD Support for assistance.

this from when I open http://192.168.0.100/UI/settings/system/

I have opened a case with WD support.

I will if any URLs take me straight to uploading of the firmware file
