Anyone else having problems installing these updates. So far I have not had any luck with either one. Below are images of what happens with both my 1st and 2nd generation My Clouds when I try to manual update them.
1st generation, Update: I finally have this one updated, will continue to work on my 2nd generation.
2nd generation, Update: I now have the 2nd generation update installed, see 2nd image below.
@Bennor My first tries were using the zip downloads on the download page. When they failed I went back and saw the two links you provided for the .deb and the .bin. I didn’t have any problems when I used those.
The " What’s new" in the initial post or in the release notes details what improvements or fixes were made. Generally it is recommended to use the latest firmware due to security issues being patched or fixed.
Thanks for sharing. It has worked for me okay, although via manual upload & update (*.DEB file). Unit took its time to reinitialise though - at some point I thought it’s bricked (white LED was lit for suspiciously long amount of time…).
And the query: Any reason why these updates are not seen by the unit when checking for firmware updates? I believe that it was the same with the previously released ones.
My rule of thumb: Never be the first person to try new firmware
Too many stories of bricked systems.
I did have a “standard” Win10 automatic update trash the OS of one machines a few months back.
Never felt better about using external drives for all my data storage.
(So. . .therefore I am always very cautious about NAS firmware updates. . . .always verify a backup before doing that action!)
