hairyhobo Posted January 3, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2019 Hello Has anyone managed to create the USB bootloader using a mac? Every time i try to mount the 1.03b boot .img file it says "no mountable file systems". Is 6.1.3 with the V1.03b stable on a HP microserver (HP54L 2014)?? I dont have access to a PC so i am a little bit stuck at the mo. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairyhobo Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks Blue Max, that guide helped out massively. I have the boot loader on the usb stick, it loads up and the screen stops at the message "the screen will stop updating shortly...." , so i try to search for the synology with the synology assistant or find. but there is nothing to be found, what am i doing wrong?? I have tried bootloader 1.02, 1.03 and 1.04 and i am running a HP54L.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted January 29, 2019 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2019 @hairyhobo Try the "safe route": 1.02b, 3615, DSM 6.1.x (using manual install of the .pat). Be aware of BIOS settings, like disable C1E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware of BIOS settings, like disable C1E. I put the 1.02b on a stick (i took it from below), it got to the screen "waiting to update and typing find.synology" and it just stayed on loading kerns and nothing happened. Do i need do disable C1E to make that work? Edited January 29, 2019 by hairyhobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairyhobo Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted January 29, 2019 Disabling C1E worked, it did a install, put up 10mins for waiting, rebooted and NAS just went back in to hiding. I had a 5.x version running before with data on my HD's, so i am guessing they didnt like to migrate. I put my old bootable usb in to see what happen and it it booted to the install screen saying there was a problem and lets carry on. I've not carried on because i wasnt sure if my old boot-able usb would get messed up as it was a nanoboot for 5.x. Is there a way to get it out of the migration and go back to what i had? At the moment i am going to try this method and hope it all goes to plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairyhobo Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted January 29, 2019 I am pretty sure it would only let me install.... DSM_DS3615xs_23824.pat I used the Jun's loader v1.02b DS3617xs with MBR partition, i didnt put a mac address in, serial number and the pid/vid as i did all that on the other loaders and nothing worked. Using the above loader works the first time, then it wont work when its tried installing so if i reboot it wont appear in synology assist.

So above is what happened to your question. Then i gave another bootloader a go v1.02b for dsm 6.1 (current), it has a note on it that its an alpha build. I have used DSM_DS3617xs_15152.pat and put the serial number in, etc and its installed it on to a drive i had. So, should i insert the drives with 5.0 or 5.2 (i cant remember) and see if it works? I need to migrate as they have data on i want to keep (or need to due to the backup going a bit wrong )?? or do i need to try and recover the data and wipe the drives and start from scratch?

bearcat Posted January 29, 2019 Share #11 Posted January 29, 2019 @hairyhobo It might be that I'm tired and sleepy after a long day at work, but I don't understand why you choose to install DSM 6.2.1, that is not supported, neither with the bootloader or the harrdware and use the 3617 ignore all what I said in my first reply. Maybe I'l "get it" tomorrow after some sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the bit before, im not sure which pat file got uploaded, i think it was DSM_DS3615xs_23824.pat and ive pasted the wrong one in my previous post. It only would accept one of them, so i couldnt install any other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'l "get it" tomorrow after some sleep. I have managed to mount the drives on a ubuntu install and everything is getting copied across to a external drive. Once thats done my plan was to do a new install and wipe the drives, which bootloader, etc would you recommend for my HP microserver (HP54L 2014)?

Lamxse Posted July 16, 2021 Share #14 Posted July 16, 2021 Blue.max made my day, thanks! I have tried several other repositories, and only ended up with malware on my mac https://macsecurity.net/view/214-remove-virus-from-macbook-pro. And your link says it is no longer available. Does anyone have a valid link for macOS, preferably compatible with BigSur and later versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
