  1. Thanks guys for chiming in. I tried XPE 5.2/DSM5.2 today but I got "failed to install file. The file is probably corrupted. (13)". I made sure VID and PID are matching with my USB values. Overall behavior with 5.2 was similar. Synology assistant did find my NAS initially. But then at installation time it issued this error. I've also ordered VGA to 12pin ribbon cable connector, but I don't have big hope. On PC monitor there's not much information displayed anyway. I also checked NIC chip and it is same as mentioned in the review link posted by IG-88 (RTL8111F). I think drivers in Jun's loader are working fine as F2-220 can be found by Synology assistant at startup. The problem is somewhere during or after the install. I noticed LAN LED never turned on, even at the beginning when Synology assistant can find F2-220.
  2. I tried alternate extra.lmza using OSFMOUNT (by renaming original extra.lmza to extra.lmza.bak and copying downloaded extra.lmza to the same folder) but still no joy. This time message displays for a few seconds and system reboots and this process repeats. I also tried converting UBS from GPT to MBR and vice versa with other boot loader too, still no success. There are too many combinations to try. I think the best option is use serial port. I do see LPC (Low Pin Count) connector on F2-220, but I don't know the pin layout. I do have USB to serial converter and I can use it with putty as console. If LPC connector can be used for this purpose I'd love to give this a try. Any knows if LPC can be used with serial console? Also, pin layout for PLC connector. I think all I need is GND, TX and RX pins for serial console.
  3. ZaFord - Thanks for your suggestion. I did use DS3615xs in all of my tests. I tried all other loaders too but for some reason nothing seems to work. I tried different USB too, still no go. I then tried DS3615xs on Acer PC (AXC-603-UR2C) after removing HDD. Cursor blinks at boot time and no message and no IP address. I then tried this same loader on Gigabyte motherboard (model GA-Z77-DS3H). On this board it showed initial message but never got an IP address. Everything else on my network is working fine. Other suggestions/ideas?
  4. I followed step by step instructions from Polanskiman but for some reason it is not working on TerraMaster F2-220. Only power light (LED) turns green. It initially gets an IP from my router (198.168.1.x) as DHCP but LED for LAN still does not turn on. Synology web assistant did find my NAS. After successful install it reboots, and, then it lost IP address and never gets it. Since no IP address is assigned it does not go to the next step. Also, during the install process LED for HDD activities do not lit either. Unfortunately I don't have VGA cable to see any activity on computer screen. I tried converting USB to GPT and also to MBR. But, same result. TOS (original OS from TerraMaster) works perfectly fine. Suggestion?
