GoFlex Net: no SATA after reflashing to stock

After getting a new GoFlex Net device I originally installed Ubit to it, then eventually replaced it with Uboot, installed latest ArchLinux ARM into a USB Thumb, and that tandem worked very well for awhile. Now I need to restore the device back to stock. In Netconsole I restored the original Pogo Uboot by following this post. Didn't flash original Pogo kernel, environment or ram disk, assuming it was all preserved in NAND, since only bootloader was changed on the new device, and Jeff's Rescue System was never installed.

Now the device is back to factory behavior, it boots Pogo Linux from NAND, and I can even see it and the mounted drives on Pogoplug website. But only drives connected to USB port are seen. The drives connected to its any SATA port, are never mounted and neither recognized by GoFlex Net. SATA / SCSI devices are also missing in dmesg log altogether. It say "Warning Sata is Powered Off". I suspect, something was missed in my reflashing procedure that disabled SATA support on the device. I thought may be setting arcNumber=3089 will help, but then its likely only set in Jeff's Uboot, but not in Pogo Uboot. Am I wrong? If YES, how to add arcNumber? Or what else went wrong?

Is anything missing in that environment? How to add the missing settings? May be SATA driver doesn't start properly? Is there a way to initiate some kind of firmware upgrade that would fix the missing parts? Current Pogo FW version installed is 3.3.0, which is the last one.

Anyone can help?

I had a similar issue, so post the solution here to help others. Apparently, if you Restore old uBoot on mtd0 according to Jeff's procedure or the above linked procedure via Netconsole or Serial, original Dockstar Uboot is flashed to NAND, which doesn't support SATA, only USB. To fix that, I reflashed again Jeff's Uboot to GFN, which script also installed useful programs like flash_erase, nandwrite, etc. When asked to disable CloudEngines "connect to Pogo site" script during install, I put "no". Then without reboot I simply followed the above Restore old Uboot procedure, but substituted Dockstar Uboot link with original GoFlexNet Uboot link:

cd /tmp
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/files/uboot/uboot.mtd0.goflexnet.original.kwb
flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot.mtd0.goflexnet.original.kwb
/sbin/reboot

After reboot here is what we see in dmesg:

[    1.020000] Integrated Sata device found
[    1.050000] scsi0 : Marvell SCSI to SATA adapter
[    1.050000] scsi1 : Marvell SCSI to SATA adapter

and the device again connected to Pogoplug site and shown all connected SATA drives and partitions properly, as well as USB drive. They were also automounted in the system with hotplug, looking at dmesg log and running mount command after boot. Everything is back to original GFN, which means installing Jeff's Uboot doesn't erase any original staff from GFN, and even original Uboot is also saved in unoccupied NAND space. So restore is really easy, if you know where to get the original Uboot, or used nanddump to dump original NAND content after updating to Jeff's Uboot. If you screwed for some reason other original GFN NAND blocks content, follow Restore MTD backup via serial thread to restore them as well. To print your original Uboot environment, follow GoFlex Net back to factory settings thread, or simply run:

/usr/local/cloudengines/bin/blparam
