Hello all,

I have from a friend one Zyxel NAS542 which can't boot OS after a OMV installation on it.


After I connect a serial this is the boot load:

Any ideas what to do in this situation. I have try to load the uImage.520ABAG1C0.bin and that is the result...

    Here we go again. There are a handful of threads in this forum about this problem. When I remember well some people succeeded in repairing their firmware. Use the search function. Keywords barebox omv bootloop tftp

    Thank you Mijzelf

    Have read a lot info but stuck whit the upgradekey and the last firmware which I download from Zyxel this version V5.21(AATB.9)C0 from here  https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/support/download?model=NAS540

    Here is the output from log:

    The NAS is exact 542 model as it is written on the label. So I have tried only .bin files for NAS542. As I know 542 and 540 are the same so in the Zyxel site the support web page just download the last firmware. No luck whit it...and not sure why. II know this image works on this NAS because it was whit it before a month. The MD5 check sum I have made from here https://appdevtools.com/checksum-calculator then replace it from in the file. Use Notepad++ not sure if this helps for proper copy and paste.

    Just found this topic and as you mention it is needed to change the u-boot environment:

    Then "For the u-boot environment you'll have to set the right board id. You read the environment using /firmware/sbin/info_printenv, and use /firmware/sbin/info_setenv (info_setenv <name> <value>) to change it." Is it possible to install u-boot whit the update key USB? If I use this http://zyxel.diskstation.eu/Users/Mijzelf/NAS/542/uImage.520ABAG1C0.bin would it work?
     
    Regards and thanks for help!

    Nah, you don't have to change your environment, just feed it the right firmware file. Although the 540 and 542 are identical, their firmware isn't. As far as I know it's perfectly possible that the board ID is the only difference, but that is where the rescue stick is complaining about. You can find the 542 firmware at ftp://ftp2.zyxel.com/NAS542/firmware/. You'll need an FTP client, as all modern browsers have dropped the FTP protocol. (And don't ask me why there is no https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/support/download?model=NAS542).
