Netgear Stora MS2110 rootfs Bad Magic Number
May 08, 2020 09:43PM
Hello
I need some help installing Debian on Stora MS2110. Not sure what I doing wrong read a few threads. I even bought a new 16Gig SanDisk (following Bodhi recommendation) just to make sure it was not the USB.

But the USB drive itself was not detected by u-boot.

How did you create the partition? was it Ext3?

Is it MBR or GPT? Old uboot won't take GPT.
Re: Netgear Stora MS2110 rootfs Bad Magic Number
May 09, 2020 01:08PM
I did the following command : install-mbr /dev/sdc --force
but I still getting the same result.
What should I do before running mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1 -L rootfs .
Is there a way to prepare the USB before that I'm missing?

Thanks

Use fdisk to erase and recreate partition.

Next time you post the log, use code tag to make it readable. When you are editing the post, select the text and click on the button "Formatted code" (rightmost above the text box, the leftmost is B, for bold text).

** Unable to read "/boot/uImage" from usb 0:1 **

Now the drive partition was recognized by u-boot as a storage drive. But the file system on it is bad. Post
fdisk /dev/sdc1

Or you could try using a different thumb drive and recreate the rootfs again. I'd prefer Sandisk brand (most reliable for booting).

Try to destroy the old gpt or MBR completely by

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1m count=1

Then fdisk and mkfs again.
Re: Netgear Stora MS2110 rootfs Bad Magic Number

I am a Linux and u-boot novice trying to re-life my Netgear Stora MS2110 by loading Debian. Some time ago I tried the 2.6.3 install which went OK but was confounded by the lack of a mirror site so abandoned the exercise. Corona virus lock down has presented the opportunity to try again with the latest approach starting with 25 August 2019 Debian busterKirkwood rootfs install. I - like many others - have struggled to get my Stora to recognise any USB pen drive for this install. I have tried tftp loading every which way and was getting nowhere. Sadly - in desperation in the early hours of the morning - I innocently thought that my u-boot environments might be invalid and so I 'resetenv' thinking this would give me a clean base - but no - my Stora looks very sad. 'printenv' produces a long report of unprintable stuff. 'rcvr' seems to be able to find a tftp server on my network so I've loaded the uImage file from Debian_4.4.0-kirkwood install compilation, but this load just loops with errors.

Is my box bricked or can I somehow reload the kernel to start again? My firmware level is 1.11 so it would appear that the UART (serial) load of kwboot is not an option (needs 1.12). Any help would be very welcome.

pdc78,

The u-boot commands resetenv and saveenv must be avoided until you are really sure it is OK to use them.

It is far from bricked! When you can boot to the u-boot prompt like this, it can be fixed:

My firmware level is 1.11 so it would appear that the UART (serial) load of kwboot is not an option (needs 1.12). Any help would be very welcome.

The BootROM version is really not a reliable indicator whether kwboot can be used (in some Kirkwood boxes such as NSA325, the BootROM version does not show at all, but it works). You should try it to see how the box will respond.

To fix the envs problem:

1. Find the set of good stock envs somewhere. If you have an old boot log and did use printenv to capture it, or somewhere in this forum there should be such envs listing.

2. At the u-boot prompt, enter some envs using that list. Using setenv, for example to set an env named test1:

setenv test1 'This is a test'
You could post that list here and I'll suggest which envs to enter first.


3. Do printenv again to see they are listed OK. When you set some envs, u-boot will repopulate the list inmemory, hopefully it will heal the envs area in RAM that way.

Depending what happened in 3, you might need to:

4. printenv did successfully list the envs you've just entered. Then from now you can re-enter all stock envs, printenv again. And then double check a few things before you can proceed to the next step of saving ens permanently to NAND. When you get to this point, I'll show you how to do that.

5. printenv did not successfully list the envs you've just entered. In this case I need to see the behavior u-boot showing while you doing the setenv.

6. Last resort when all attempts to fix the envs have failed: You need to find a backup of NAND mtd0 that someone has saved. This backup was created using nanddump command in Linux.

But try UART booting with kwboot first, it might work.

Dear Bodhi

Thanks for responding with encouraging news. I have tried running the kwboot (from within u-boot-tools - the exe in the .tar appears to be a 32 bit version). I got the expected prompt from my Linux shell 'Sending boot message. Please reboot the target...|', but resetting or cold starting the Stora made no change. Back to 'environment overflow' and 'Bad Magic Number' :

I've also tried to setenv, but am stuck with environment overflow. I guess this is because there is 1 byte too much "Environment size: 131069/131068 bytes" Is there a way to wipe the environment and reload from stock?

pdc78,

Usually at this point, you should Control-C, and recall the command and execute it again immediately. Do this as many times as you can bear to do it.

And also try different timing sequences:

- Execute kwboot, then power up. Repeat the commands multiple times.
- Prepare kwboot command, but not executing yet. Power up, and quickly execute kwboot command simultaneously or a fraction of a second after.
- Prepare kwboot command, but not executing yet. Power up, and quickly execute kwboot command after 1 second.

You got the idea. Sometime the handshake occurs slow or quick. But always within some window (nobody knows how long this time interval is for some BootROM versions).

This is not good. It has eliminated a lot of options.

That looks good enough.

The problem is: wiping NAND envs requires a few good envs in memory to determine the NAND layout! it is kind of chicken and egg dilema.

Now without being able to run kwboot to load new u-boot image, anything we try from this point has some risk of bricking the box for good. And then JTAG is the only way to unbrick after that.

We cannot risk running any command that could erroneously wipe the u-boot image on mtd0. Without kwboot, it is too risky to run anything that try to write to NAND, while the envs are not defined properly.

So the various methods will need to be tried without brute force (there is a last resort approach, but we will avoid it for now).

======

Let's get some info. Power up, interrupt serial console and

help
ver

If you see some commands in the help output like: usb, ide, scsi, then try

usb reset
ide reset
scsi reset

PLease post the entire serial console log here everything on the terminal from after you power up. The first line should be the u-boot banner.

Thanks Bodhi. I'll keep trying over the weekend. Tried kwboot every which way with no success. I assume that if it 'fires' then the console display should pick up in my linux shell? Here is the console log you requested:

Re: Netgear Stora MS2110 rootfs Bad Magic Number

Hi Bodhi

Please can I clarify the kwboot approach? I have one TTL serial converter (Arduino Uno) connected to the Stora 4-pin header. Ihave been using this with a Putty window since starting tinkering with the Stora some time ago. It appears that the kwboot UART booting is using this same serial connection - i.e. sending a stream to the same channel? My Minicom Terminal monitor gets quite excited (glows red) when the kwboot command is active. See log:

pdc78,

Yes, kwboot has a terminal mode when you execute it (option -t). So when it failed to handshake, sometime the BootROM timed out and execute u-boot image in NAND. The stream of 3DUfw is normal when kwboot still trying to handshake and NAND u-boot is already running.

Please post the log how you run kwboot, and with which u-boot image. Did it look like this?

kwboot  -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2017.07-tld-1.netgear_ms2110.mtd0.kwb  -p

Here is a big hint.

USB: scanning bus for devices... 2 USB Device(s) found 
scanning bus for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found 
Trying to load image from USB flash drive using FAT FS 
reading /flashware.img 

** Unable to read "/flashware.img" from usb 0:1 ** 
Trying to load image from USB flash drive using ext2 FS partition 0 
Failed to mount ext2 filesystem... 
** Bad ext2 partition or disk - usb 0:0 ** 
Trying to load image from USB flash drive using ext2 FS partition 1 

** Unable to read "/flashware.img" from usb 0:1 ** 
Couldn't load recovery image from USB flash drive, Trying network interface 
Aquiring an IP address using DHCP... 
## Error: environment overflow, "ethact" deleted

That flash.img is the stock recovery image. Looks like this u-boot tried to look for the image to repopulate NAND. And it has initialized the USB drive successfully, and it expects to find an Ext2 partition on the USB drive. That flashware.img file is at the root folder (/flashware.img").

=================

OK. So at this point if kwboot refuse to work, there are 2 way to recover. The 1st method is very safe, and non-destructive. The 2nd has some risk.

1. Find the recovery image /flashware.img from Netgear website, or ask other users in this forum to upload it here if they have it.

2. Go ahead with the brute force approach (if flashware.img cannot be found). Basically we will erase the envs area in NAND, and thus forcing u-boot to ignore it. And then repopulate the envs correctly by entering some envs to fix it checksum.

Method 2 require us to find out where the stock envs area is in NAND. This can be found in stock serial boot log, or from some users who can log into stock OS.

Dear Teddy

Bodhi has been helping me with my distressed Netgear Stora which has corrupted environments / Bad magic Number. He advises that I need a friendly Stora owner to send me the recovery image /flashware.img. Do you have it please? Please could you share it with me?

Thanks, Paul

Hi Bodhi

This is how I have been running kwboot:
Quote

kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyACM0 -b uboot.2017.07-tld-1.netgear_ms2110.mtd0.kwb -p

I have been attempting to monitor the same port through a Minicom VT102 terminal emulator. It sounds as if this is not necessary if the kwboot program functions as terminal if it connects.

I've asked recently active Stora owners if they can help with the /flashware.img file.

Thanks and regards

Paul

Paul,

Try this quick test. At u-boot prompt:

setenv ethaddr
setenv ipaddr
setenv serverip
printenv

Paul, you might want to PM them. Some people only visit the forum only once in a while. So they will see the email notification for PM.

Or you can list their posts here, I'll send them PM in one group.

I think you might find the Firmware at Netgear website.

Hi Bodhi

I've been searching the Netgear website and have no luck in find the flashware.img file to download. Did you find it somewhere?

Paul,

No I did not. But seeing users mentioned about downloading FW Zip file for other boxes, I thought there might be others who did for the Stora.

Too bad NAS Central was defunct. There must be some posts or Wiki pages there that can point you to a Zip file location to download. I am wondering if you can find it in The Way Back Machine.

Bodhi - thanks for your suggestions. Waybackmachine did not provide a solution and, despite many hours of searching, I've drawn blanks on any net sources for the flashware.img file. I just hope that Erik, Teddy or Martin can come up trumps. I suppose I should wait for a few days.

I'll keep trying the kwboot routine, but no 'strikes' yet.

Paul,

Chainload u-boot using mtd0 backup.

1. Use a USB thumb drive formatted as Ext3. Put the mtd0 file on the root folder:

/u-boot_mtd0

2. Attach the USB drive to the box. Power up, interrupt serial console, and

usb reset
ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /u-boot_mtd0
go 0x800200

And see if it starts OK. Then try

ver
printenv

Please post the entire serial console log here.
