My Cloud 6TB. Running v4 firmware. It was version updated last spring or summer (can’t recall). 1.2TB of files.
After a router upgrade, it was kind of giving me fits changing the IP address (so I changed from static to DHCP). I know the current IP. I can access files from Windows Explorer (even now).
Now the dashboard won’t come up (using the current IP or the FQDN).
During various attempts, I reset it at one point using the power-off, reset press-and-hold, power-on, release reset button after 40 seconds.
At that point I can get to the Twonky server (all media was previously disabled, as I was only using this for a basic NAS) on port 9000. (Sadly, I never enabled SSH… everything’s worked great for two plus years, so I never bothered with details like that.)
Twonky Status shows the database as rebuilding (its at the 11 hours plus mark). Actually, all the Twonky menu pages seem to work fine.
But the Dashboard page… don’t work. (I tried using port 8000, but the result was the same error message.)
The WDMyCloud applet, when I press on info, shows firmware version 0.0.-1.
Does anyone know what that means? Something… bad?
And is there anyway to auto-install or auto-reinstall firmware from, maybe, a USB drive? Or something?
Or some unknown-to-me port that might get me to the Dashboard? (This time I’m definitely enabling SSH, sigh.)
Do I just need to wait until Twonky finishes whatever it’s doing (at this rate, it will be weeks: I have over 70GB of photos alone on there).
…I can backup the files to another NAS… which will take days, right? Would reformatting the drive at that point work?
I really like the thing. (Although I have clients with the v2 firmware of this, and all of that version firmware are faster than the v4 firmware devices. Dunno why. Just reporting my observations over ½ dozen plus MyClouds.) This is my screwup, not WD’s.
Thanks in advance.
