This looked promising with mcmetrox having successfully restored his drive that I decided to give it a go.
- 3TB RED WD drive for a Gen2 MyCloud (My original drive)
- Ubuntu and a usb3.0-to-sata HDD adapter for preparing the drive.
- 1GB memory stick containing the Boot folder with the wdrecovery- files.
I followed the instructions as given here and used the #alternative way.
_unbricking_en.txt The instructions on how to unbrick
usbrecovery.tar.gz The Gen-2 boot files.
Code used as in attached pdf.
After completing inputting the code my Gparted table appears to very closely match that shown in mcmetrox’s Gparted table as in his post.
My Disk
Next the circuit board was reassembled onto the hard drive and the ethernet and power cables plugged back in. The blue flashing led remained flashing and does not change.
Any help or advice from someone who has successfully restored their unit would be appreciated.
