    That's great. I went through my collection of sticks and found the downside to buying premium Sandisk ones is the lack of generic controllers according to ChipGenius.
    Hence why I thought it's be easier (and neater) to just order a DOM. Seems otherwise.
    If you've got a suggestion for something currently available I can go and order from Amazon that'd be appreciated.

    On the upside, I tried flashing the DD IMG from the stock DOM with Rufus. This partition layout seems promising yes?

    There is no point in buying new USB sticks. A different chip may be installed in the same item with the next order.

    As described in #229, find one with an "Alcor Micro" controller and run this tool.

    However, my original know-how was only partially reflected there. Instead of ChipGenius I use the temple.exe tool from
    https://the-sz.com/products/temple/
    If a 200ma chip is displayed there, the chip matches the software. The 500ma one is excluded.

    Hi all ! And thank you for this post, intended to fight obsolescence ;)

    I have a DS412+. I've managed to transition it to DS713 through ssh, but got stuck at the update to 7.0.1, and I believed it was because I was in 6.2.4.95556 update 7. So I followed another tutorial to downgrade it, wich told me to delete the etc.defaults/VERSION file by rm command in ssh. Once rebooted I could start the process of installing a pat file, but it crashed, and after the next reboot, nothing, blue blink of death. So I then tried everything, mounting the USBDOM to my computer (which works perfectly in usb2), restored it file by file, then the entire .img - I made a backup earlier), nothing. Even tried to connect to the serial pins with a special TTL adapter, nothing, no output from terminal or putty. Tried with new disks, zero disks, reset button, every combo possible...

    So my questions are : is there a way to restore this VERSION file ? And... Is it time to buy a new one ?

    Thank you very much !

    Simply open the PAT from the manufacturer corresponding to the model, as seen in #35, with 7zip. Then also hda1.tgz. Extract the hda1 harddrive-image from there. Reopen the unpacked file new with 7zip. Below the /etc.defaults directory, you will find the VERSION file.

    Thank you for the usb pinout!

     

    I have a ds415+ on which I once overwrote the synoboot flash over serial (was a bad idea) and would like to restore the original image. Luckily I've dumped an image with dd before breaking it.

    I assume the connector is the same as the ds412, and I'm trying to connect the 4 pins as shown in your pinout to my computers usb2 header, but it keeps failing to recognize the device. Does the AVSS +5V need to be connected to something? dmesg keep telling the device is not responding.

    On the other hand I'm trying to find an usb stick with modifiable PID/VID as a backup plan, but can't find an ADATA stick over here. Are there other known models to have the phison or other configurable chip in it?

     

    Thanks

    Just take the one described in #229.

    Dear DSfuchs,

     

    I'm finishing this thread with high interest and I will do the same upgrade as you i.e. upgrading DS412+ to RS814+ the latest we can I guess.

    However, information are split through the whole thread and it gets confusing what minimal path to follow up in order to achieve the goal (Upgrade RS814+).

     

    Would it be possible to gather all info in a concise but yet clear Tutorial please ? I will try to contribute as best I can for the tutorial.

     

    Thank you in advance !

    Note #76 and complete the points under #90.

     

    #76 can also be done (between 14. and 15.), thanks to @stranGE , with these commands and without editing:

    sudo sed -i 's/maxdisks="2"/maxdisks="4"/' /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf

    sudo sed -i 's/internalportcfg="0x3"/internalportcfg="0xf"/' /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf

     

    There is no advantage to switching to the RackStation. On the contrary, your "vender" file can continue to be used for the DS713+ with the serial number and the MAC addresses.

    Best regards

    I got a dozen flash drives: Alcor, Phison, USBest, Chipsbank, Appotech... got more than a dozen different programs, none of them sees any of the drives that I connect.. I managed to dump my DOM, now I need to inject it in some USB key, alas I just can't reprogram the PID VID... :-(

     

    My USBest key was damaged, I downloaded a reviving tool, which worked. Then I used the tool that Whool linked in his post, and finally was able to give this key the proper attributes.

    I swapped the power Supply for the one in my DX510 ... added a new battery, none of that would work, obviously, until I found this thread about the DOM.

    My DS1513+ has now booted from this drive. AMAZING !!
     

    I wonder if it's worth ordering a new DOM, of just sticking with USB keys...

    But now, given that it boots from the key, maybe I can make it believe that it is running on a DS1515+ and get the next DSM upgrades ?

    No, you can only stay within the Intel Cedarview CPU architecture.

    The models are:
    DS713+
    DS412+
    DS1513+
    DS1512+
    DS1813+
    DS1812+
    DS2413+
    RS814(RP)+
    RS2414(RP)+

    So DSM 7.1 is the latest you can get.

    Hey, I spent several hours to get the my alcor drives recognized by the program... I downloaded countless others to no avail... I just can't edit the PID / VID.

    would you have some tutorial handy to proceed with this ?

    thanks a lot

    Try another model.

    Of course it's removed.

     

    I think changing the bootloader is my last option because I also tried:

    1. Connecting the OTG cable to the USB DOM connector directly and use the same USB stick - does not boot.

    2. The original USB DOM in Windows is detected as USB 2.0, but in Synology - it does not boot.

    It seems to me that my USB DOM connector on the motherboard is faulty.

     

    I will still try to connect to the terminal and check the booting.

    If you get the original DOM to work via the front USB-socket, the USB port on the motherboard is probably defective.

    Note that the boot time can be up to 5 minutes.

    I have the same config in SynoBootLoader.conf: ...root (hd0,0)...

    Everything loads from the flash drive with VIP/PID F400/F400 and works correctly. But during a soft reboot, the NAS does not want to boot again (it blinks blue again). But if i turn it off physically and boot up again, everything loads correctly. I assume that i need to change the configuration of the GRUB loader (SynoBootLoader.conf) to reboot correctly.

    Can anyone tell me what to change?

    Thanks in advance.

    The original DOM must be removed.

    Out of curiosity, why did you have to swap the female sockets? Aren't those standard and identical? Thanks!

    Nothing is standard with Synology. This is completely proprietary crap.

    It is intended as a replacement in the place of the original. But a memory plugged into one of the external USB ports, try the front first, also works.

    Hey all, I have a question I've upgraded my old 412+ which was still running 5.2 to 6.2.4 following the steps on the synology website. However downloading the 6.2.4 DSM file from the synology website (DSM 6.2.4) immediately brought it to 6.2.4 Update 7 (I guess synology updated the main version to include this patch level). Now I would like to upgrade using the 713+ steps to 7.1.x described in this topic but they mention a maximum of 6.2.4 Update 5. Should I downgrade it somehow back to 6.1 or a lower 6.2.4 version for the steps to work?

     

    Or can I also do the steps while still being on 6.2.4 Update 7?

    In order for it to work, based on the experience here, it shouldn't be better than 6.2.4 Update 5.
    So downgrade.

    You need to connect your LAN cable to the internet via your R8168/R8169 network card.
    Also you have to select/specify a Synology serial number and MAC address in the menu.

  13. The performance is not better with the ARPL loader. On the contrary, some CPUs only run at 400/800 MHz, or only one of two memory sticks is recognized.

     

    For Apollolake there is no native solution to the problem at all.

    (Only one J3455 system ran with ARPL at the correct clock frequency, but unfortunately the surface then only reacted with a delay of seconds.)

    Yes, I saw 7zz on you. There should be a general note here though.

  15. @The Chief compared to your 10W TDP J3355 2.0GHz base

    pretty better performance with my old 6W TDP N3150 1.6GHz braswell (only 1066MHz single-channel RAM) running comparable 2.0GHz EIST in JOT mode:

  16. Please run the new 23.01 release of 7zz

     

    from here:

    https://github.com/justdan96/7zip_static/releases/download/23.01/7zz

    Move it into the /bin folder and make it executable.

     

    Then you can also see the current frequency at which the CPU is running. It may be that only the base frequency is pending, and EIST is not used.

    Are you runnig JOT or friend mode? I assume you can get even more out of it with JOT.
