Hi All !

Yesterday I bricked my oldest Netgear ReadyNas Duo v2 and need help for repair her.
I was try to upgrade u-boot loader to 2017.07 (https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381) and NAS going to die.

What I done:
1) Download tools to NAS (https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,27280)
2) Download firmware for Stora Netgear (beacouse I think this similar vendor of NAS hardware) uboot.2017.07-tld-1.netgear_ms2110.bodhi.tar
3) And finally download uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.bodhi.tar

I have TTL interface to direct connect to device

Firstly I look into my system:

yuri_minsk,

The Netgear Stora uboot cannot be used for the Netgear Ready NAS Duo. It has a different Marvell SoC.

So basically your box needs to be unbricked with UART booting. Since you have saved mt0, and have serial console, this image can be used in kwboot command to rescue your box. Most of the Marvell SoC can be unbricked this way.

See this post for an example how to run kwboot to unbrick the NSA320S:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,51739,51919#msg-51919

The kwboot command that you should run is:

kwboot  -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b mtd0  -p

mtd0 is the file name for the mtd0 dump that you have saved while installing the Stora uboot.

Quote

root@storage:~#nanddump --noecc --omitoob -l 0x80000 -f mtd0 /dev/mtd0

Please post serial console log of your kwboot run here.

Note that if you use x86 box to run serial console, then you need x86 kwboot version (let me know and I will find the post that I have uploaded this version).

When you see “xmodem: bad message” it is actuall good sign!

Up arrow to recall the kwboot command and run it again. Repeat this several times until the handshake occurs and it will be loaded.

Excellent!

Please post these info:

1. Run kwboot and interrupt serial console at countdown, and

printenv
help

2. Go ahead and boot all the way into kernel 4.20rc8. Login to Debian and

cat /proc/mtd

And post the entire serial console log here (from kwboot command to the output of cat /proc/mtd).

The mtd info in the log will tell us how to flash your backup mtd0 file to the mtd0 device.

yury_minsk,

I see. So you are stuck at this point and not getting the countdown.

> Plug On and Power down, Please Switch On !

Try pressing the Power button once here. See if it will get out of the hang.

Definetely helps. But first you need to be able to interrupt u-boot at count down. At u-boot prompt, you can flash mtd0 back to NAND and things get back to normal. Or if you can boot into stock OS, then flash it there (this is the preferred approach).

And then preferably boot into Debian on a USB drive in the future after unbricking. This Ready NAS Duo has mainline support already.

Try repeatedly press a key (eg. contrl-C) while uboot is starting, keep doing that until a few seconds after you got stuckwith that line.

I trying ctrl-c on u-boot loading, pressing all buttons on nas, but nothing.
My friend have this model of nas too. He can dump all mtd flash.
Maybe in my dump I dont have keybindings on nas (eg. Power and backup).
And I can disassembly nas and look on motherboard additional powerup pins

yury_minsk,

I believe you are stuck because the wrong state of the Power button, so the box is waiting for a key or WOL packet.

Try again and do these, see if which one works.

1. Press the Power button repeatedly (don't hold it) while u-boot starting after kwboot has loaded.

2. If number 1 does not work and you are stuck at that line. Let it sit there. On another Linux box, use etherwake to send WOL packet to this box MAC address.

apt-get install ethtool etherwake
etherwake xx:xx::xx

Bummer :)

I've also found and looked at what nastibad did for this box. And this is the recommendation

Then, we get access to the console and then plug the power cord without powering the device. The following appears:

We can then power on the device. This will present a 3 seconds countdown which allow us to interrupt the boot process and access u-boot, simply by hitting a key. Let's do just that.

Net: egiga0 [PRIME]
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0

Marvell>>

So basically nastibad say: plug in the power cord, but don't press Power button, and then press Power button when this message presented.

Does the box power up when you plug in the power cord, or did you have to press Power button?

No, before bricking device I testing the marvall ttl console connection and after plug power cord to device on screen TTL I saw this message about powering on. After pressing the power button on device, i have countdown, hit enter and uboot console welcome me.

maybe after big uptime (more than 300 days) I dont remember normal startup mode....
maybe inside battery 2023 is over? i can replace her

That's the normal behavior.

We are running the same u-boot image in mtd0 that is loaded into memory. The difference is u-boot envs (its NAND was replaced with the Stora's which are no good), I would expect it to give out errors, and then fallback to u-boot internal envs, and then start counting down. But apparently we did not get to that point.

This box seems to go into standby mode when you power down too long. So the Power button is what kicks off the box out of this mode.

Perhaps you should try 2 different things:

1. Removing the battery before running kwboot, to see if the behavior is different. It would change the logic where u-boot reads the clock and stops at the message. But I am not sure what the value in the RTC at that point, hopefully sometime in the future (we would trick it to think the box has not been down too long).

2. Hold the Power button down all the time when kwboot starts until the message appears. This is so that in case the button read logic tries to detect the press-and-hold (not a brief press).

I try all possible things: hold button , pushing button, change ttl converter (pl2302-ch341a), use mtd0 file from my friends readynas duo v2, remove battery, replace battery.... but nothing good. Only after showing logo u-boot power light blinking and i again show "lovely" message about powering on this brick.

On motherboard i see 10-pins unsoldering jtag connector. Maybe this can help me?

Maybe try different u-boot file from similary device if you know once?

yury_minsk,

> On motherboard i see 10-pins unsoldering jtag

There must be a key sequence to break out of this hang on serial console, that we don't know about.

JTAG is a bigger effort, it wil take a lot of time.


> Maybe try different u-boot file from similary
> device if you know once?

The only u-boot that is closest to this box is the NSA325 that I've released:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

uboot.2017.07-tld-1.nsa325.bodhi.tar

I expect that you can kwboot with this NSA325 u-boot, however, it will not run very far becasue the memory size is different (less is OK, but the NSA325 has 512MB). Try kwboot with this image, just to confirm that it can start running.

If you can find the GPL source for this u-boot, I might be able look into it to figure out some way to break through that message hanging.

GPL Source for almost all Netgear products is available at NETGEAR Open Source Code for Programmers. There are 13 versions of the source available for the Duo V2 and u-boot source code is included.

So, it's not full version of my manipulations and trys, but, this all steps can help to load from kwboot

What I need to write newest uboot (if its possible) and upgrde kernel (to make multiboot NAND of USB without system on HDD)...



Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/18/2018 01:31PM by yury_minsk.

yury_minsk,

Excellent works :)

I think first you should try to look at the envs again. See if you can set them permanently to a good state using the new compiled u-boot.

bootflag
close
open

And then kwboot the mtd0 image. If you can get pass that hangup with these envs set correctly, then use the old mtd0. That way you don't bypass the standby feature they have implemented.

OTOH, if you try the new u-boot and the standby feature is still intact then it's good to have new u-boot.

bodhi,

I load into my linux on NAS via kwboot (fixed bootflag), how can I write my compiled fresh u-boot ? what params of nandwrite I need use ?
my partition on NAND is

[root@STORAGE:~] > cat /proc/mtd 
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00180000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00020000 00020000 "u-boot-env"
mtd2: 00600000 00020000 "uImage"
mtd3: 01000000 00020000 "minirootfs"
mtd4: 06800000 00020000 "jffs2"

I also need to see dmesg output for this boot. Please post that, or better yet post the entire serial console and cat /proc/mtd.

bodhi,

Im attached boot output , and dmesg out. Look at this files

yury_minsk,

I see. You have not been able to boot into Debian yet. Let me come back and write some u-boot envs for you to do that.

In the mean time, look at the kernel and rootfs release thread:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

You need to create a USB rootfs using Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2.

Scroll down to this section

Quote

Updated 24 Jul 2017:

Basic Debian stretch Kirkwood rootfs for most Kirwood plugs:

- tarball size: 188M
- install size: 488M
- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see note 2 below.
- Installed packages: nano, avahi, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, dialog, bzip2, nfs server/client, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, and sysvinit-utils.
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/init.d/halt
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile
- root password: root

Download at Dropbox:

Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2

md5:
bf3d29569943875df348fb5ca03b348c
sha256:
4ed5714fdb123cdb40e973f3d0754e91cd199b75a9874018f2b5dc9cfa8ae8bb

And remember to check the hash of what you download, as always.

Note: since you will boot with stock u-boot, you need to do Step 4, using the kirkwood-netgear_readynas_duo_v2.dtb.

Once you got the USB rootfs ready, we'll work on the envs to boot that.

bodhi,

Ok. I created rootfs USB flash with Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
Use ext3 (because my uboot is old version) and done all steps.
What is next ?
I try to boot via my pachded uboot (kwboot) but all loading from HDD RAID (usb is lpuged but ignored by loading)

Let me take a look at your envs.
