Upgrading firm ware using files

WD Legacy Products My Book Live

Dear Forum,

I just got a new drive (a RMA replacement, which should really install the latest firmware… but that’s a separate topic) with firmware “02.10.12-129” installed. I would like to update it to “02.11.09-053”.

However, I do NOT have internet access for this drive.

(I use mobile 3G card for normal internet access, and the drive is on a private LAN that’s used as backup and a media server.)

So I cannot use the upgrade from dashboard option. I would like to know if the firmware upgrade for 02.11.09 is available for download somewhere. And if anyone has any experiences upgrading to it using file options?

Thanks

Before you upgrade turn on SSH in the MBL dashboard in case something goes wrong.
It will give you a backdoor in to fix issues
