Trying to debrick MBL 2T, get getting errors

I reviewed the guides and try a few options and now I think I have messed up the drive … it that is even possible!

I am using VMware / Ubuntu 16.04 and a sata -usb connection. On my first go it almost worked but the dashboard was slow and unusable and firmware updates failed so I tried again with the destroy flag and a newer img…more errors and now I am getting these errors…

Seems like like this is the root of the issue mdadm: Cannot find /dev/md0: No such file or directory

What should I try… not data to save.

ian@ian-VirtualBox:~/Downloads$ sudo bash ./debrick.sh mybook.img /dev/sdb destroy

everything is now prepared!

Done… Worked!

Issues for me must have been the USB to SATA connection… followed this Guide without issue once I got the drive directly connected to my PC
