Dear Bodhi Sorry I missed the file attachment. Have now followed your instructions, but we are still being foiled by "bad partition".

Thanks Bodhi - I really appreciate your persistence. Unfortunately the link in Erik's March 2017 posting (stora.com) is no longer active. The nice Netgear people took the site down when they declared Stora EOL. So we're stuck again. I've PM'd Erik and Nick484 again to repeat my request for their help with the flashware file. In the meantime I'll keep searching and trby pdc78 - Debian
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. Regards, Paulby pdc78 - Debian
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? Regards Paulby pdc78 - Debian
Yep - I realised my mistake and have already PM'd them - thanks - I'm a newbie - Paulby pdc78 - Debian

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 hby pdc78 - Debian
Dear Martin Bodhi has been helping me with my distressed Netgear Stora which has corrupted environemnts / 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, Paulby pdc78 - Debian

Hey Daniel I have a similar challenge with a Netgear Stora to which you had with the above request. I also need to get the recovery image /flashware.img. Do you have it please? Please could you share it with me? Thanks, Paulby pdc78 - uBoot
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 quiteby pdc78 - Debian
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?

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.

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 othby pdc78 - Debian
