I managed to restore a 250gb image which can be found in the wd community forum. The device works fine with the firmware version 03.04.01-219 which is included in the image.
When i want to update to the latest version, the device seems to finish the update without an issue and the shares are still accessible, but the UI is not working. I already tried other brothers and resetting the cache, but that doesn't help at all.
Can someone tell me what i could try to resolve this issue?
Hello,
is it possible to install DSM, Open Media Vault or even the original firmware on to a clean hard drive? I tried to restore a 2tb image of the original firmware to a smaller hard drive, but that doesn't seem to work - the device won't boot up.
It would be nice if i can use the wdmc case again somehow.
Kind regards!
EDIT: -removed to avoid confusion-
EDIT: I thought my wdmc is a gen 2, but it seems that it is in fact a generation 1 model. I followed the unbrick guide and the webgui was accessible for a short time but then it seems to be stuck when it tries to initialize itself. For the test i used an old 500gb wd green drive.
