Using a Linux Mint (on a USB stick/drive) I took the small pcb from the DS710, hooked it up to the linux machine and had a look at the files.
Used Nano to edit some files, put back the files I thought would be my back-up, also thought if I removed the files, they would be created during installation (the DSM2.2-1042).
By gettiing a (working) image, I would rewrite the partition from scratch, hopefully to solving the issue I'm in at the moment. Understood that this is not possible due to serial numbers etc.
It's a bit of nasty habbit to see if you can do more with a device then it's supposed to do ;-))

how did that happen? did you do some experiments with it? its usually not going to get corrupted by normal updates with dsm, so if it just happened then the module might be faulty and even transferring the content of a working module might not help - also that boot image will contain the serial number of the "source" unit and i have doubts some one will risk having his SN blacklisted because of multiple use at the same time
the donor would need to remove his sn from the module and beside the extra work/risk there might be only very few people being willing and able to do so
Some changes have been made to the files at the second partition. Thought I had a backup, but when I replaced the files with the files from the backup, it didn't work.
It might be something with permissions, or ownership of the files. But I'm not that experienced that I would change this easily, so I was wandering if I could find the proper settings (authorisations etc.) so I can double check and change mine if needed.

I will not share my disk - sadly to risky.
No problem, didn't know about the serial number being on this disk, if I would I probably never asked because I would not share the disk myself.
Do understand the issue with serial numbers, didn't know that they are in the files somewhere and that it will be one hell of a job to change.
The files on the second partition are replaced during a system upgrade? This would mean these files should be in the upgrade package.
Can they be retrieved by extracting an original Syno package?

Made a mistake by upgrading my DS710+ to DSM6, the internal USB (original) got corrupted.
Would like to restore this to orignal, and start experimenting afterwards, ofcourse with a seperate USB drive like you did (....and I should have done 🥴).
Are you willing to share an image of the original USB? It seems first partition looks ok, it asks to install DSM2.2-1042, it looks like this installs, but it never reboots again.
Problem seems to be in the second (99 mb) partition.
And like HellG mentioned, hardware should not be the problem, it looks like the software is checking or veryfing something on the USB bus. Interesting !

Hi my name is Thijs from The Netherlands.
Have a couple of RPi's running Domoticz, Volumio, Octo-Print etc.
Just replaced my Synology DS710+ for a DS720+.
DS 710+ Was running with 2pieces WD20EARX from day 1.
But during my trials to see if we can get it to run DSM6, the boot loader is giving me issues.
Have to look throught the forums to see if we can restore the orignal bootloader and make a backup !
After this the fun will begin, trying to see if we can get it running on XPEnology.
Kind regards,
Thijs

Have been in contact with Synology, they would like to Telnet into the DS710.
Didn't work as the Telnet ports seems to be blocked (cross checked with DS720).
What I have noticed that the MAC address is changing when you reboot the device.
Just placed a portable version Linux Mint on a USB and booted up from this.
Have set/spoofed the MAC address, and voila, I could reach google without probs, speedtest was running without issues.
So problem seems to be related to how the LAN interface is setup.
My knowledge of the boot system is to limited to try to check/set the MAC address setup.
Will check with Synology if they can help.
