Huge thanks to DSfuchs would helped me to get my 11 years old DS412+ running on DSM7. Everything is fine and my NAS is now ready for another decade !

Thanks a lot DSfuchs, indeed the umount is important ! I'm sorry but I can't find "synology boot" on german ebay (I'm assuming this what you mean by "German bay") ?

Thanks DSfuchs. In step 5, you are also instructing to mount synoboot2 directly so this could also end with the next boot ? I think I can avoid installing synocli and use mc in my scenario but I appreciate that you took the time to write a detailed procedure that covers all scenarios! Many thanks ! Indeed many roads lead to Rome Still, I would be more confident to use a USB stick rather than directly replacing files on the original USB DOM.

Many thanks for your kind and precise response DSfuchs ! I already have ssh access to my DS412+, so I'm not sure why I need to install synocli ? (I can mount /dev/synoboot2 directly from ssh). From your procedure, I understand that I just need to replace the 4 files by the one from the DS713+ PAT file (https://archive.synology.com/download/Os/DSM/6.2.4-25556) ? Ideally, I would like to test using a USB stick because I'm afraid to brick my DS412+ if I do something wrong (my DS412+ is a production machine :)). Kind Regards, François

Hi DSfuchs & 7up & All, I would like to convert my 11 years old DS412+ to work with DSM7 and I'm reading this thread with a lot of interest. Is there any summary of the steps needed ? I currently understand that the following steps are needed: 1) Make a backup of the current synoboot USB device (this can be done using putty and "dd if=/dev/synoboot of=/synoboot.img") 2) Have a USB key with VID/PID = F400 (or buy a USB DOM) This is a challenging part as none of my USB keys (sandisk) can be used to "customize" VID/PID. Do you have any pointer (amazon or other) to a USB key brand with a chipset supporting VID/PID change ? 3) Write the USB key with the previously saved image (synoboot.img) 4) Mount the USB key and replace the 4 files mentioned in step #35 (checksum.syno, grub_cksum.syno, zImage, rd.gz from DSM_RS814+_25556.pat) 5) Then I need to do something using "vender 2 file with your SN/MACs and chk sums edited in exactly as described by DSfuchs". Do you have some precise instructions as I'm totally lost on these steps. 6) Finally, after removing the original USB DOM and plug in the prepared USB key, I should be able to boot DSM7 and get to the migration page Is the above correct ? Many thanks for your help ! François Pignon
