Replacing the firmware is NOT a simple task. There are risks involved up to and including bricking the My Cloud. Like it or not one will typically have to learn how to use various Linux commands in order to perform a firmware replacement via SSH. In some cases replacing the firmware is a trial and error method and the final results are often mixed since one is attempting to install firmware not designed for the WD My Cloud hardware.
