I have purchased SIX WD mycloud units from a sale stock WDBCTL0030HWT -10 I have extracted the six 3 tb hard drives for using them in other devices. Now I have six empty units, And this is a pity because I hace some 2 Tb hard drives and I could unbrick some units. It is apity leave them unused. I…

If by web gui we mean eg going to “ My Cloud OS3 End of Service | Western Digital ”, it does not detect the my cloud. What is weird is that the device disappear from from my router table after I try to upload firmware. I have to unplug/plug the device so that it appears again in router table.

No, I mean access it via it’s IP address. eg, mine is at 192.168.0.18, so the address is http://192.168.0.18 Like I said, sometimes the initial firmware upload does not fully succeed, and it goes into safe mode again-- but after trying again to push the firmware, it works. Don’t try to delete and…

Yes this I tried as well, but it is still blocked and always have the safe mode screen when I re attempt to access via the IP.

No problem, thanks for your support with this. Then i will likely format it in one volume and use it in the icy box as external DD, at least for this it works. I will look for a new NAS but maybe not a WD :slight_smile: If you have advice on more reliable ones i take it :slight_smile:

Hi Bennor, thanks for the advice. But with the first method, I do not understand how to connect to the device via telnet and what should I enter in the Telnet terminal, if step 5 and 6 could be done via Telnet or if I should do that via Linux, if so I do not get the interest to connect via Telnet.

For general information on how to use telnet you can use your favorite internet search engine to find general directions. For example. [image] How to Use the Telnet Client in Windows Telnet is a protocol used as a simple way to communicate with devices over a network. Learn more here, i…

I have four observations on the instructions you have been using. The parted instructions are using MB values. Recent versions of parted now use MB as 10^6 bytes, vs older versions that used 2^20. This is the cause of all those warnings about bad alignment and performance. It may also result in p…

Hi Bennor. Thanks. When I connect USB key on the device it is flashing red/yellow but then the device disappears from my router table. So I can’t even try to telnet in it.

There are two methods for unbricking a second gen single bay My Cloud. One involves removing the My Cloud from the My Cloud enclosure and connecting it to a computer (preferably Linux). The other is the USB method. If the USB method doesn’t work try the other method (if you haven’t already). And vise versa.
