    the image is the one shared by you https://zyxel.diskstation.eu/Users/Mijzelf/NAS/542/and it has 6.99 MB, i rename it to uImage.520.bin from uImage.520ABAG1C0.bin

    That should be right. Maybe the load address is the problem. Try something else, like 82000000 or 2000000.

    No luck, i have tried with both 82000000 or 2000000

    Barebox-C2K >/ bootm 2000000

    So, i made some progress using the bellow commands:

    eth0.ipaddr=192.168.1.191

    eth0.serverip=192.168.1.139

    addpart /dev/mem 8M@0x8000(kernelraw)

    addpart /dev/mem 8M@8M(kernel)

    netload="/dev/mem.kernel"

    tftp uImage.520.bin $netload

    bootm ${netload}


    It boots from the image but in the end, after restart i get bad magic number. Looking on this thread https://community.zyxel.com/en/discussion/7674/nas542-bootloop-after-debian-omv-get-a-new-firmware-solved/p4 i can see that some bootargs was modified on the config file, can you please help me with what i need to modify on the config file?

    So it boots the stock kernel, but after a restart nothing is changed? If you didn't do anything than booting the stock kernel, indeed nothing is changed. The idea is let the stock kernel use a Rescue stick (you can use the 540 one, when you exchange the ras.bin file by a 542 one, and set the right md5sum in the ras.bin.md5sum file) to flash the firmware,  or a Universal usb_key_func stick to get telnet access to do some stuff.

    Hello Mijzelf,
    Dear all!
    I have a similar problem.After installing OpenMediaVault from a USB stick on my NAS540, I can no longer boot the original firmware. The system is stuck in a boot loop.
    
    OpenMediaVault starts, but my network ports aren't working. I can't access the NAS over the network.Therefore, I can only connect via the serial interface.If I start the NAS and interrupt the normal boot process, I can obtain an IP address using the DHCP command and then use the TFTP command to download files from my server.I now need uImage for the NAS540 and possibly the recovery stick, but "zyxel.diskstation.eu" is not accessible. 
    
    Could you please provide me with a link to these files or any other suggestions for resolving the problem?
