Hi!
I made a little tool which can help you to get your XPEnology up & running without installing any software.
It contains (as portable versions):
- Nirsoft's USB device view (helps to identify the VID & PID of your USB boot media) - V2.76
- XPEnology Serial Generator for DS3615XS, DS3617XS and DS916+ (a converted version of the HTML site)
- Win32 DiskImager (to write your modified synoboot.img to your USB boot media) - V1.0 (only available in V1.4.1)
- OSFMount x64 (to mount the synoboot.img and modifiy it) - V1.5
- Notepad++ (best editor for changing values inside grub.cfg) - V7.5.3
- Synology Assistant (useful tool from Synology to find your XPEnology and install DSM) - V6.2-23733
- TFTP/DHCP portable (a small TFTP, DHCP and Syslog server by Ph. Jounin) - V4.6.2
- MiniTool Partition Wizard 10 (helps assigning already formatted/written USB devices to modify existing grub.cfg) - V10.3
- SoftPerfect Network Scanner - V6.2.1
- USB Image Tool - V1.75
- New: Rufus - V3.3
In the section "Downloads" all links open corresponding websites to download the files. For beginners I added a small HowTo for bare-metal installation.
Update
New link for download: https://mega.nz/#F!BtViHIJA!uNXJtEtXIWR0LNYUEpBuiA
The download link/folder also contains @IG-88's extra.lzma (V0.6) for the DS918+.
You'll have to run it "As Administrator" because some of these tools (like Win32 DiskImager) need to be executed with higher rights. It's possible that the SmartScreen filter will give you a warning, because the EXE isn't signed.
Bug reports and comments are welcome
Cheers
Current version: V1.4.2 (2018-11-19)
