Bricked DNS 320L A3

[Glaucio Campos]

Hi, my NAS is bricked by a incomplete firmware upgrade, I have done the steps of an old posts, but no success in re-flash a firmware.
Could you help me?
The file contains the boot log.
After u-boot console, what do I have to do?
I already try to mount a pendrive, but no success.
Coud you help me to revive my DNS-320L?
Thank you.

You have to supply more info.

What fw was you using? What firmware were you trying to upgrade to?

 

I have done the steps of an old posts,

What post? please post its link and what step you performed and what its outcome was.

 

but no success in re-flash a firmware.
Could you help me?
The file contains the boot log.

 

The log shows that you have a mix of D-Link (the linux kernel) and Alt-F (the rootfs)

U-boot successfully loads both and starts running the linux kernel, but it can't find a D-Link compatible root filesystem and panics.

After u-boot console, what do I have to do?

 

I already try to mount a pendrive, but no success.

You have to tell us what exactly you have done.

What commands you used, what its output was, what the pen filesystem was (FAT?) and what was its contents.

 

Coud you help me to revive my DNS-320L?

Yes. given full enough information.

[Glaucio Campos]

Well,  I tried to get back to DLink's firmware, I was on Alt-F-0.1RC4.1-DNS-320L-rev-A1A2A3.bin... Tried to upgrade to DNS-320L_fw_revA3_1-06b03_all_multi_20150728.

You have not made any progress after your last post, https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt-f/BdIM55T7ths/dFNt5xKiAgAJ

And you didn't said if the box was bootable to u-boot after the flash last error, so there was no point continuing.

 

I tried to do these steps....
http://dns323.kood.org/howto:reflash_from_windows 

You have a DNS-320L, not a DNS-323, its completely different!

Every box model has a different method, that might even vary with its Hardware rev. (e.g., the 320-rev-A is different from the 320-rev-B)

 

(I tried to split the uKernel and uRamDisk... but no success,

No sucess in splitting the fw file? That is essential.

 

I tried to put the files uKernel and uRamDisk on a ext2

No, you have to put them on a *FAT* formatted pen. U-boot only handles that.

 

pendrive partition... but I don't know how to mount and what I have to do

Read this: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt-f/vbDtHa8cjpU/PGM-rpO4GU4J (the 320-rev-B is identical to the 320L-rev-A)

Or, if you can setup a tftpserver, read this: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt-f/kbzK0U4jip0/5Qk2bld9DgQJ

You have to understand what you are doing, a mistake can made the box not bootable even to u-boot.

In that case you would have to follow this more complex procedure https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt-f/uhxqZ0N-H28/XNzot2oKEQAJ 

And remember, each box is different, you have to be careful with details. If you don't understand anything, ask.

I recommend using an Alt-F kernel and rootfs, load them into memory at the standard addresses and execute (bootm) them, instead of directly flashing them; if/when if boots, you can use the webUI to flash what you want.

If you succeed you could post a complete procedure description, or even add a new wiki entry.

[Glaucio Campos]

Hi João.
Well the is still working on U-Boot. I can access the console.
No I didn't have success with the split... Could you send me those files?

Well about the FAT, I had use ext2 because I read on a post. But I can try it later.
I have a tftpserver working.... There's an option called tftpboot, but I don't know how to mount and whose file I have to use for it.
I'll gonna try the post for flash by tftp but.... Could you say what files I have to use?

About that log....

"Bytes transferred = 2754560 (2a0800 hex)
Marvell>> nand erase 0x500000 0xfb00000

NAND erase: device 0 offset 0x500000, size 0xfb00000

NAND 128MB 3,3V 8-bit: MTD Erase failure: -22"

It fails at 49%... with the tftpserver, but I know the file is not for dns 320L.

Thanks for the help!!

You should tell us what program you used, how you used it and what error it displayed, a verbatim Copy/Paste. It's the only way to fix it or point what you did wrong.

 

Could you send me those files?

 

Attached the kernel and the initramfs files result of:

signature is "DNS320L"

kernel saved, checksum is OK.

initramfs saved, checksum is OK.

sqimage saved, checksum is OK.

defaults saved, checksum is OK.

Well about the FAT, I had use ext2 because I read on a post. But I can try it later.
I have a tftpserver working.... There's an option called tftpboot, but I don't know how to mount and whose file I have to use for it.

I posted a link that shows the u-boot commands to use with tftp (and another link with the fatload u-boot command)...

 

I'll gonna try the post for flash by tftp but.... Could you say what files I have to use?

The attached 'kernel' file is what is stored at mtd1, while the 'initramfs' file is for mtd2.

Use the fatload command from the linked post changing only the file name accordingly.

PS: please notice that:

1-the procedures described in the links I posted about will only load and run the system from memory, they will not flash the firmware. You  have to flash it from within the webUI, or at the next reboot the problem will reappear,

2-the firmware for all but the dns-321/323 has three components; the Alt-F webUI should work mostly OK without the third fw component (the sqimage, which contains all non-boot essential packages files)

3-I have not tested the 'fatload' procedure, I only use the 'tftp' one.

[Glaucio Campos]

Thank you João. I'll gonna test it and post results tonight at home.

[Glaucio Campos]

Joao. I've done with the files kernel and initram you posted and upload with tftpserver. Now its working!! Thank you!!!
