good job but why did you suppress in 'freshInstall.sh' ? createDataVolume.sh # which creates all needed directories. Basicaly what you are doing is a 'Quick Factory Restore' for a full bricked device...

What would be the equivalent to wget http://download.wdc.com/nas/apnc-010303-20110119.deb for the 010203 firmware? I don't know what the release date was so editing the url by guesswork hasn't gone...

Which line did you comment out to try to preserve your data on sda4 ? (megadoz said we could skip zeroing sda4 partition not the mkfs.ext4) ##makefilesystem in freshInstall.sh : mkfs.ext4 -b 65536 -m...

Thank you for the link, it's good of you to upload it. Downloading now My device isn't bricked yet, but every day it gets a little closer. It's worth planning ahead I think.

@jonj678 : In that case you could have made a backup-up of the firmware file installed in your MyBook Live at : /CacheVolume/updateFirmware.deb that's what I did. PS : there is a specific MyBook Live...

Yes, I tried. At first I commented out both ##makefilesystem in freshInstall.sh : mkfs.ext4 -b 65536 -m 0 ${disk}4 ##zeroing in partitionDisk.sh : dd if=/dev/zero of=${disk}4 bs=1M count=32 then tried...
View ArticleRe: Complitly debricking guide (draft)
I think you made the wrong choice : Zeroing means deleting all you datas, and replace them by zeros. You should have commented this line. ##zeroing in partitionDisk.sh : #dd if=/dev/zero of=${disk}4...
