Deadnobody Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted July 13, 2018 Sure, so I was wondering if there might be any legal trouble or problems (updates etc.) when I use the "official" DSM downloaded from Synology. I was a bit wondering because in all tutorials, there was never this screen where I should choose the .pat file I would like to use. I guess it has something to do with the fact, that I used a storage which was already in use in a Synology Diskstation. Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there legal trouble using XPenology at all? Second: You can download the pat file from Synology according to the loader you are using. Jun's v1.02b loader is available for different hardware. Do a clean install if you are using an empty HD or if you don't need the data on it. If you allready have data on your HD from a Synology Dikstation you can try to "migrate". (Always make a backup before you start) In your case, there seems to be something wrong. You wrote that you are using Jun's DSM 6.1 loader. But you installed DSM version 6.2? This don't work because you brick your machine using 6.2 with the v1.02b loader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadnobody Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted July 13, 2018 Hi, thanks for the reply. I definately used Jun's loader "DS916p 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02b.img" and I have 6.2 up and running stable (see attachment). I was wondering because in no tutorial or elsewhere I saw a screen where I could choose which .pat file I would like to install.

Sonnyboy666 Posted July 13, 2018 Share #6 Posted July 13, 2018 This is really strange. But good for you that it's working. If you ran into problems you should use the new "experimental" 1.03a2 loader from Jun. This one is especially made for DSM 6.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that you have installed the DSM on bootloader 1.03a2 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no 1.02 loader for the DS918+, just DS916+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadnobody Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted July 13, 2018 Hi, I will check this later (when I'm back home). But back to my original question, does it matter, that I used the "official" DSM .pat file from Synology? Would you expect problems regarding updates etc.?

Sonnyboy666 Posted July 13, 2018 Share #10 Posted July 13, 2018 You can always use the original pat files from synology. Before you make an update it's a good idea to look into this forum to check if it's safe to update. Look into "critical updates". There are many users here who check the updates, if they are working.

flyride Posted July 13, 2018 Share #11 Posted July 13, 2018 Unless you manually modify them yourself, you will not be using anything other than original PAT files from Synology. You should read the FAQ and best practices regarding updates. In short, nobody knows for sure whether an update is going to break XPEnology. Most folks either wait for someone to report success on a software/hardware platform similar to theirs before applying an update, or have a test system that they don't mind crashing to try it out on prior to committing the production system.
