atacama Posted January 9 Share #52 Posted January 9 Hello, Great job, as I don't undertsnd why Synology stopped upgrading DSM for 1515+ I am questioning about running the script. Could you precise the associated risk ? THanks a lot..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyriC Posted January 17 Share #53 Posted January 17 Hello, I have a question, can I undo this? So I mean back to DS1515+, or is that no longer possible? Thanks in advance for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian5555 Posted January 30 Share #54 Posted January 30 Hi, just a small feedback. Afer transforming my 1515+ to 1517+ it is not longer possible to use quickconnect or the synology DDNS service. It seems the device can not be registered because the SN is not assigned to a 1517+. This lead to the problem aswell that the AME tools can not be registered successfully (so Photos is not working properly). I will try to undo the settings... lets see how to achieve that.

christian5555 Posted January 30 Share #55 Posted January 30 how can I flash the old BIOS file again? Do i need to make the old file an newer version then M.911 or is there any force command to flash an older BIOS version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian5555 Posted January 30 Share #56 Posted January 30 (edited) Ok i managed to restore the old bios version by faking a higher version number and installed the saved BIOS file M.111. Unfortunately even after replacing the unique in /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf it will be still reconized as 1517+ no matter what I does. Even changing the unique to 1515+ while in reset mode via telnet, I only can install a 1517+ image file instead of 1515+. EDIT: working now, you need to edit both files. /etc/synoinfo.conf and /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf Edited January 30 by christian5555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris85 Posted February 3 Share #57 Posted February 3 (edited) Came here to say that this script probably bricked my 1515+, the first part of the script went fine, but after doing the update with the .pat file and rebooting it was no longer detecting 2 disks, then rebooted again from within DSM 7.2 I presume and then it bricked with flashing blue light. Removed disks removed power waited... nothing. Reading the script now I see thing like BIOS updates in it. Probably corrupted BIOS or something. Gonna have to look for another DS1515+ to try restore my programs and data. Not worth trying to go from 7.1 to 7.2 at all in my opinion.

Gonna have to look for another DS1515+ to try restore my programs and data. Not worth trying to go from 7.1 to 7.2 at all in my opinion. UPDATE1 First part of the script went fine, but after upgrading to 7.2 suddenly my NAS detected disks 1 and 2 as 3 and 4, and all the other bays remained undetected. Seems something with hardware disk mapping is off. I am assuming now that the automatic script did not set my bios number to M911, and therefor the .pat file of DS1517+ updated my BIOS from M111 to M405, which is the version shown cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_version Leading me to this line in the opening text: Do not update the 1517+ BIOS! It will lead to brick. Downgrade is not allowed. Now it seems christian was able to somehow update the bios to an older version by tricking it. Will have a look into that. UPDATE2 Using the opening post I was able to get back from BIOS M405 to BIOS M111 by renaming Bios M111 to M911 and doing the flash, after that all my disks are detected correctly again and I am still running DSM 7.2. If anyone ever encounters this, it seems my synology was not bricked by updating the BIOS to presumably the DS1517+ Bios (M405) but it detected disk 1 and 2 as disk 3 and 4. I suggest to not run the automatic github script and do it manually using the opening post. Edited February 3 by Joris85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervincm Posted February 22 Share #59 Posted February 22 I am trying to get my 1815+>1817+ I grabbed the sae.py with sudo wget https://github.com/K4L0dev/Synology_Archive_Extractor/blob/main/sae.py I grabbed the 1815+ pat with sudo wget https://global.synologydownload.com/download/DSM/release/7.1.1/42962-1/DSM_DS1815%2B_42962.pat I tried to extract it with sudo python3 sae.py -k SYSTEM -a DSM_DS1815+_42962.pat -d . but I just get a pile of errors, starting with Traceback (most recent call last): File "sae.py", line 1, in <module> {"payload":{"allShortcutsEnabled":false,"fileTree":{"":{"items":[{"name":"images","path": ... ending with "}}},"title":"Synology_Archive_Extractor/sae.py at main · K4L0dev/Synology_Archive_Extractor"} NameError: name 'false' is not defined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaeNolMan Posted March 8 Share #61 Posted March 8 hello! I upgraded to 1517+, booted up fine and used it well for a while. But now I want to go back to 1515+. QuickConnect is not working. But the backup bios is wiped. Is there any way to downgrade from 1517+ to 1515+? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only challenge was getting the right .pat file, which i found here (https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/download/DS1517+?version=7.2#system ) for others that might have that issue.

I ended up using the automatic script that @prt1999made but that had your code in it. Upgrade went super smooth, only issue was i was trying the wrong dsm7.2 version updates. Once found, also that went fast and smooth. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idocinthebox Posted March 16 Share #64 Posted March 16 So if I want to run the automatic patch script where do I run it? SSH into the Synology then run it from the command prompt? or run a terminal program on the synology itself ? I am sorry if this is a newbie question, I just don't want to brick my device.

twinsen Posted April 27 Share #66 Posted April 27 "7.2.1-69057 Update 5" just released, how to update to it? Can I simply do it from GUI, or the scripts will be missing after that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSfuchs Posted April 27 Share #67 Posted April 27 In order for DSM 7.2 to be available to you, you need model modding on one of the following models: DS1517+ DS1817+ RS818(RP)+ RS1219+ RS2416(RP)+ Take a look at this in the related topic: https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/70401-synology-plus-series-internal-flashdom-repair-and-model-modding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSfuchs Posted Monday at 06:30 PM Share #68 Posted Monday at 06:30 PM (edited) Has anyone had the DS224+ run as a DS720+ without any problems? This will be the last Synology hardware that supports DSM6. Edited Monday at 06:30 PM by DSfuchs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
