glad it worked out take an image of the drive and keep a copy of the software to alter the PID and VID. zip it all up and dont store it on the box like i did ahhhh, yep, i did do that ....

a few months back i started to get grub errors on cold boot too, i ignored it and eventually it just failed to boot at all. no surprises really :) i flashed a new usb drive and everything returned to normal the usb stick had failed completely after iirc, 4 years. so it did well for some random no name cheap thumb drive

read back a few pages in this thread. the links from IG-88 and flyride will help you

Which loader ? try using 1.03b for that cpu (?? i think ??) https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/13333-tutorialreference-6x-loaders-and-platforms/

MVER, see read three posts above yours so i read that post as G8 is sandy bridge arch, so you should stick to 1.03b and 3615/3617...

indeed. many thanks for the matrix now i can be confident on the upgrade to 1.03b and 3617 (G8 with 1260L cpu, so no 918 for me )
