Hello foxbat, I cannot discover the DiskStation with the help of Synology Assistant, BUT if I tried to direct access the station (IP:5000) worked. I tried to install ubuntu live but without luck ( got sucked at some point) and after that I tried with 1.03a2 loader + 6.2 (DS918+ pat file) and 1.02b + 6.1.7 (DS3617xs pat files). With one combination I got IP address ( please check your router not Syn Assistant). At the first attempt I had 6.2 on my HDD but after many tries I do not know for sure what was the information on the HDD... IF you have 6.2 on the HDD you can start with 1.03a2 loader first... in order to get an IP address.

Hello world I found a second solution.... Downgrade to 6.1.7_15284... I tried several (many many several...) combinations between Jun's loaders and .pat files, had no luck with 1.03a2+DSM 6.2... but during installs and many tries I noticed that at some point I got IP address (check your router DHCP clients). If you try to connect with new_IP:5000 you will find migration/reinstall menu. Download and reinstall loader corresponding .pat file BUT after you got the information about formatting system partition the assistant upload new system files into the server. At this point I removed the server power cord, forced it to make a clean install. All data is intact without loosing any file.... So... make a new USB stick like you will install for the first time xpenology, follow this tutorial: Download your corresponding .pat file : https://archive.synology.com/download/DSM/release/ When you get transmitting new files to DiskStation (after formatting the system partition) unplug the system from the power source, in this way new software is not transmitted to DiskStation and it is forced to re-install 6.1.7 version. My system: Server HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10, AMD Opteron X3216, 8GB-U 4LFF NHP SATA 200W PS + 4xHDD WD Red 4TB, 5400rpm, 64MB cache, SATA III - RAID 6 + 1x Solid-State Drive (SSD) Intel 545s Series, 256GB, 2.5" Xpenology 6.1.7 (Jun's loader 1.02b) before updated to 6.2 that bricked the server I did not backed up server configuration so I have to reinstall and make all the settings again, but the RAID 6 (btrfs) and all files are intact. Please keep in mind that this solution worked for me and for my system... I'm not responsible if you apply this solution and loose your data...
