From DSM_DS3615xs_15284 (6.1.7) Jun's Mod V1.02b to DSM_DS3615xs_25426 (6.2.3)


Egnos

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

a few years ago, to perform some tests, I had installed a "DSM_DS3615xs_15284" (6.1.7) with "Jun's Mod V1.02b" on a Lenovo PC.

In these years of testing it has always worked well and therefore I decided to make it definitive and I would like to update the S.O.

Unfortunately I find it hard to remember all the steps and I would like your advice and help.

 

I saw that a stable DSM is the "DSM_DS3615xs_25426" (6.2.3) version and I believe that correct Loaders is this "Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3615xs"...can you confirm?

On the control panel I am asked to update the DSM to the latest version, I think I understand that I don't have to update it like this...correct?

I think we need to update the S.O. in manual...is there a guide for updating?

 

In this post I saw that updating is not impossible...

 

Can you help me please.

Thanks.

An update to 6.2.3 should be possible with the 1.03b DS3615xs loader. You need to prepare a new USB stick and download 6.2.3 .pat file to your PC and run a manual upgrade.

There isn't a current tutorial, but this method is still valid.

 

There is a tool to help create the USB stick which can be found here:

Thanks @billat29 for the guides.

In the first guide I read:

Quote

Change mac1=0011322CA785 to mac1=[your NIC MAC address #1]. You can also add set mac2=[your NIC MAC address #2] and so on until mac4 if you have multiple NICs. However, this is not necessary.

Which MAC are talking about? To that of the PC with Windows or the one where I will install the DSM?

Hello,

this morning I perform some test connecting only 1 HD with DSM 6.1.7 installed (HD in RAID 1 ...), but unfortunately I was unable to connect to the NAS!

I arrive at the usual intro screen where it invites you to search for the NAS but both using "http://find.synology.com./" or the "Synology Assistant" application cannot find the NAS on the network!

I've tried all sorts of ways:

  • change pid and vid
  • change BIOS settings (settings that work fine with 1.02b ...)
  • changed USB stick
  • changed usb port

Nothing to do!

 

 

These are the technical features of my PC

 

I don't understand why everything works perfectly with loader 1.02b and instead with 1.03b no ... !!😭
Some advice?

 

Thanks

What I can say is that 6.1.7 is the version that supports the widest range of hardware and that there isn't anything magical in 6.2.3.

It could be that the 1.03b loader doesn't have the driver for the nic on your PC. I did a search on the forum and found these. I don't know whether it is worth reviewing the second link as I think he says that he got it to work.

What really changes from 6.1.7 to 6.2.3?

In any case, before filling the NAS I would like to try an update.

I ran a linux live to see what kind of network card is installed.

Is it supported by loader 1.03b?

Did you set CSM (Legacy Boot) mode?  That is a difference with 3615xs/3617xs on 1.03b versus 1.02b and is required with the 36xx/1.03b combination.

When I select LEGACY/CSM in the BIOS,  the pc is unable to boot from the key, it does so only in UEFI mode.
In Legacy mode it seems not to find an S.O.
To write the key I use the SW provided "XPENOLOGY TOOL V1.4.2":
- Win32DiskImager but it gives me an error while writing
- RUFUS is able to write in "destination system" there is an immutable field "UEFI (not CSM)".
- USB IMAGE TOOL manages to write but can't find settings on LEGACY, UEFI, CSM...

 

Below are some photos of when selecting LEGACY in the BIOS:

 

IMG20211211110012.jpg

 

IMG20211211110043.jpg

 

The "Intro" screen appears only if I select UEFI mode in the BIOS, but I still can't find the NAS on the network ...

Any other suggestions?

 

Thank you all.

cant see any but beside booting up with active csm you also need to use the "non uefi" boot device from the list, there are usually 2 uefi for every partition of the usb and the 3rd usb entry looking different will be the one for csm

csm is only a option and when choosing a uefi boot device then the option is not used

also keep in mind that usually you need to boot up with csm already active, so look for the device in question on 2nd boot in bios

Sorry i didn't understand where i should find "NON UEFI" boot device. In the BIOS or when I write the USB stick?

What you have shown looks correct to me.  You should not have or need the SATA disk in the boot sequence though.

 

The one thing that catches my eye, is that your system continues to try a network boot.  I would attempt to disable that.  Often in PCI settings or hardware device options.

 

Also, you might try a different USB key, or create the key from scratch if BIOS changes have occurred.

@flyridemany thanks for your answer.

I ask you the courtesy to check my Hw configuration above in the discussion because, in addition to the ethernet port on the motherboard, I also have a PCI card with two Ethernet ports (I don't understand the model...).  

Which one do you think is better to use?

There isn't enough information to make a decision about this.  You will need to provide information about the add-in PCI card in order for someone to offer an opinion about it.

 

Based on the M92p specs I can't see a reason that the onboard NIC is not suitable for DSM however. In general if you are troubleshooting hardware, it is best to simplify the environment and get things working first, which might encourage me to remove the PCI card, at least for now.

I'll do some more tests tonight. I keep you updated.

Which tool to write the USB stick do you recommend (Win32DiskManager does't work...)?

Might the BIOS need to be updated?

 

Thank you

I have finally taken a step forward!
I updated the BIOS and finally the USB key started in Legacy / CSM!
I can find the NAS on the network.

 

But unfortunately I have another problem🤬
At this point I am offered two options:

  • Migration
  • Re-installation

I select migration, manual installation and on browse I select locally the downloaded .pat "DSM_DS3615xs_25426.pat".

Arrived at 56% of the installation I get this error: ”Failed to install the file. The file is probably corrupted. (13) ".

 

Errore-13.png

 

I have already tried to re-download .pat and change the update version. 
VID and PID seem correct to me, what should I do now?

Reinstall it (win32diskmannager)....sometimes just quits working! 

I found that the "Win32DiskImager-0.9.5" version runs in Win10 but version 1.0.0 not....

I am trying to use the card reader (Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5182 Card Reader) placed on the front of the PC.

With 1.02b works perfectly, with 1.03b it gives me error 13 during installation

yes you are right, looks ok for the usb vid/pid of the card reader

as you already have a "Kingston Technology DataTraveler G4", maybe try this one instead of the card reader

i know the hpe microserver have a reader too and they work with dsm so its not a general problem,
