I'm screwed up. Cannot boot up anymore

[John Roy]

I got an empty box. Tried to install older drive and system kinda crashed.  I reimaged using synoboot.img with Etcher; Disk Imager did not want to work. Was able to boot up but when I try to install manually Disk Station Manager it jams at 56%. Thanks for the help

OK so basically the problem is that when inserting the new hard drive it says need to migrate.

 

Then it starts and jams on 56%

 

Do I need to format the hard drive first? 

 

Thanks

1 - Tell us what your "empty box" is (what hardware etc.)

2 - Where did your "older drive" come from, and what version of DSM did it have?

3 - Where did your "synoboot.img" come from, and what version was it?

4 - What version of DSM did you try to install manually?

Thanks for the reply

 

I was able to reach the person who sold me ''the box''

 

He redid the boot img on the usb key and it is working well with my new WD 6tb

 

All OK for now.

 

Very slow to transfer files from my old Syno to this 918+

 

I'll keep reading and figure out a bunch of stuff.
