I tried all the DSM install options (the upload file one with latest DSM) but it fails on 55% and it says the file is corrupt or something like that. can somebody help my with that

Hi 

It seems your VID and PID is not correct in the grub.cfg at the USB stick.

You can check with this tool and correct the values on your USB in the grub.cfg

For more help we need more Informations 

DSM Version

Bootloader Version

Where is the Bootloader storit etc

DSM Version : idk

Bootloader Version : idk 

Where is the Bootloader storit etc: idk

how can I find it

[btpv]

what does the VID mean I guess that the PID means prosses id?? and what do I need to do with the USB stick???

[nemesis122]

Every Brand USB Stick has unique VID and PID Number and you can checkit when you connect this usb stick that is on the server in your pc and check this vid and pid number with this tool that i have mentioned before.

The Xpenology Bootloader is on the usb stick or in the server itself as SD Card i dont have this netgear HW.

Check the usb port on your server and connect the usb stick to your PC.

Check the Faq on this site 

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/7973-tutorial-installmigrate-dsm-52-to-61x-juns-loader/ 

 

Please note every Bootloader has his DSM Version you cant upload every DSM Version to every Bootloader.

As example

1.02 B has DSM 6.1

1.03b has DSM 6.2

1.04b has DSM 6.2

or Redpill for DSM 7.0 and 7.1

 

Here is en example for the grub.cfg Loader 1.02b 1.03b and 1.04b

 

Check this line on your usb stick in the grub.cfg and change the value related to your usb stick vendor.

vid=0x058f set pid=0x6387

 

 

et extra_initrd="extra.lzma" set info="info.txt" set vid=0x058f set pid=0x6387 set sn=C7LWN09761 set mac1=0011322CA785 set rootdev=/dev/md0 set netif_num=1 set extra_args_3615='' set common_args_3615='syno_hdd_powerup_seq=0 HddHotplug=0 syno_hw_version=DS3615xs vender_format_version=2 console=ttyS0,115200n8 withefi elevator=elevator quiet' set sata_args='sata_uid=1 sata_pcislot=5 synoboot_satadom=1 DiskIdxMap=0C SataPortMap=1 SasIdxMap=0' set default='0' set timeout='1' set fallback='1'

or you can directly upgrade to DSM 7 with the Redpill loader and during the building process he will generate the correct vid an pid for the usb drive.

I dont think you have 3612 because for Xpenolgy we have 918+ /3615xs / 3617 xs for 1.02b and 1.03b and  with Redpill we have 918+3615 3617 and 3622 but not 3612

[btpv]

so you are saying that I should reinstall xpenology

well in the model it says ds3612xs in the first page in the setup

and it really is a netgear rndp2000

there is no usb stick in the nas

[nemesis122]

then you have dsm 4 

 

and as i can read the loader is stored in the flash there is no usb key and i think this old old XPE. 4.2

you have to read 

 

 

[btpv]

so you are saying that I need to try DSM 4.2???

 

[nemesis122]

i dont know if its possible for a higher version maybe here is en other user that have experience with this HW.

Because you need to flash the Image to the RDM or maybe there is a bios a setting that you can boot from USB i have no knowledge to flash the bootloader directly to the Sata DOM or RDM 

 

[btpv]

tnx for the help and quick reply I cant try it to day I have to wait until tomorrow

[nemesis122]

Maybe you check before do the installation starting  there is a link Device Informations and there will be show for which dsm Version is this loader that is stored on your Flash and then Download the correct DSM version i think in this case DSM4..... and try with this Version or ask the guy who sales this device.
