Why did you “erase” everything from the disk? What “unbrick” methods are you trying to use?

Have you tried using Fox_Exe’s method for unbricking a first gen single bay v4.x My Cloud hard drive?

Maybe the best way: buy a proper NAS were you can change the harddsik (e.g. Synology or qnap), put the hd out of the My Cloud and put it into the new NAS.

Hi Bennor, I am trying to unbrick My Cloud 8TB single bay NAS and I couldn’t download the

anymore from the Google drive link you shared, could you reupload it for me?

I tried all sort of method to unbrick it without succeed and I am going to use this method as the last resort before I repurpose the hard disk.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Han

Someone has mirrored the files used to unbrick the single bay My Cloud devices.

The original_v03.04.01-230.tar.gz file can be found here:

Make sure to confirm which single bay My Cloud version one has as the unbrick directions and files are different for each version.

First Gen: P/N: WDBCTLxxxxxxx- 00 , FW 04.xx.xx
Second Gen: P/N: WDBCTLxxxxxxx- 10 , FW 02.xx.xx/FW05.xx.xx

I’m confused. I have a My Cloud “WDBCTL0040HWT-00” with a single hard drive. These directions seem to have you set up a raid. Is my interpretation correct? If so, are these instructions correct for a My Cloud with a single hard drive?

Yes for the single bay one is creating a RAID setup with two of the small partitions one creates. The firmware/operating system uses that small RAID.
Another place for the unbrick directions for a first generation single bay My Cloud:
