Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

got the supplicant installed. will have to take some time to figure it out. I made a tar file of pro hard drive but ran into problem. seems it does not like to copy samba files. is the cp command better to backup hd or remove samba and tar again.

I can't seem to find the WPA Supplicant.

I did apt-get wireless-tools. I made some progress but need guidance. Don't think drivers are loading but hardware is detected, right? Can you have hardwired and wireless both in the interfaces file? I am running static address on my network from pro.

It appears this is not going to be as easy as I thought. That got the driver installed but I don't know how to get hardware activated.

can someone tell me to get firmware-ralink? My Debian apt-get can not find it.

Thank Bodhi, that worked great. I was reading the 4.4.54 rootfs and it says something about wifi in the Pro. Does that wifi driver only work in 3.17.x?

Much better now. I am trying to backup my 80 GB pogo pro HD to as small a file as possible to archive it. I tried to follow the instructions in the thread earlier with out success. I don't understand all that fancy foot work with the " . & " on the end. any apps that make it simple?

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

I did it with Debian 4.4.54. Works fine. When it failed it was with the recovery SATA drive after doing the first boot update. Can I get rid if the ethact= to get rid of the long boot time. w?4040000 ?

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

Do you want me to try with the recovery data boot up or my normal USB system?

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

Thank you Bodhi, It's fixed. Boots from USB using same install from other V3 in my shop. Had only one problem during flashing. Fw_setenv ethaddr would not allow flashing so I reset with magic sata hard drive off and stopped at countdown. setenv ethaddr and it worked. back to working. Feels good to accomplish something at 72 years old and memory failure. 73, Chuck99

I know a long time ago you told me how to use dropbox files like 218c0bz to unpack them. Sorry I just cannot find it in my notes.

I will give it a try. I hope I can flash this nand back to normal but at least I have a working debian machine.

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

That fixed the tools problem. Now I just have to remember how to use them under debian. I spend most of my time using nand. any thread showing debian way of doing it. Than you!

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

I ran the e2fsck /dev/sdb1 says clean ran with -f and took longer. clean. I can not figure out why they will not execute. Are the different for pogo pro than V4? ps I can run fw_printenv. It was on the ready made boot disk but other nand tools are not there.

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

I tried executing the tools from root, from mounted usb, from ide. do they have to be executed from a specific location? When I look at the directory where the tools are they are in yellow. after chmod +x they look the same.

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

Are there two sets of nand tools? pogoplug v3 and V4?

by Chuck99 - uBoot

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

No, it will not run the nand tools. I downloaded them again from gethub to make sure they were good. only one USB stick and Sata boot drive plugged in. I tried flashing nand both ways. Usb start works fine says i have 3 devices and 1 drive. It pretends to flash ok but always zeros out the nand. I thought may be the files were all zeros but that is not the case. chmod +x nanddump or nand

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

I have tried more than one, reformatted, I will do what you say. I also used fat32, ext2,ext3,ext4. all fail same. very strange. I think I screwed up when I nand erase 0x0 0x800000. said it clear all nand I think. still boots debian just fine.

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

mtds are just like you said. I can not get the nand tools to run.. says bad command have done chmod +x to no avail. I can copy files back and forth between usb and ide but under uboot it now gets timeouts. It worked before but i did something to screw up usb. I can ext2ls or fatls to usb and it works but if i try to ext2load i get time-outs.

here is where I am now. everything seems to work except flashing the real nand.

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

I think I am stuck trying to flash ram but the flash ram is on the ide boot. forget the nand dump thing. I get to countdown. nand erase 0xc0000 load image spl img. into 0x800000 nand write it All seems normal. nand dump it and nand is all zeros now. after erase it is all FF. nand write did not change nand. i assume it wrote it to hard drive. how do you actually flash the real nand?

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

Can someone tell me how to process nanddump.dms to execute. Thanks to Bodhi for making available such a fantastic script pogoSATA.sh it works great when you don't have bad hardware USB-SATA clamshell.

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

booted into Debian 4.1.0 pretty cool. now need to remember how to flash V3 from Debian. Got one error just before countdown. safe boot not defined.

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

I was able to get USB access and followed the nand routine very carefully and each step seem to be what was expected. I have flashed a lot of nand so I was surprised that it did not work. I will try again later today. I created the pogoSATA.sh drive. worked like it should. Then did help and could see the USB system was there. Made another drive like you said. Verified the contents. Did nand er

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 5 years ago

Now with new adapter I ran pogoSATA.sh and it did create the magic sauce and 3 partitions. Still has no USB support. Will attach logs later on today I hope. I ordered the latest & greatest USB-SATA adapter on Amazon but this one made a big difference. I understand older ones don't support SATAIII.
