As soon it is blue you can access the dashboard and do a Quick Factory Restore + enable SSH.Īfter the restore if your hard-drive is bigger than 2TB you will still need to expand it since you used a 2TB virgin image… to do it you should login via SSH and do the following commands: dev/sda being the path to the WDMycloud disk, check what’s the correct one and replace it thereĪfter it was done I plugged the hard disk back into the wd mycloud and turned on… white light for some seconds and then blue. mnt/usb/mybook.img being the image file, check the full path of the file on your external disk and replace it there On terminal: dd if=/mnt/usb/mybook.img of=/dev/sda bs=1M Restored the partitions with the virgin image downloaded:.Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab. Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sdb will be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost. Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (/dev/sdb being the path to the WDMycloud disk, check what’s the correct one and replace it there) parted Downloaded a virgin image as per Cnlinya’s intructions:.(this was all done following cnlinya and other tutorials that are in this forum) Sorry, I’m not guru on linux so I may not be the best person to help you on this, but this is what I did on mine and worked fine: I still feel that I’ve made some progress because before I followed your instructions the light would just blink yellow. Has anyone else successfully restored/unbricked through USB?Īlso, when I browse the hard drive in linux (after I did the restore) there is nothing on it? Is this normal? I’ve seen mixed opinions about this being a problem. I should also mention that I did this restore using a USB connection (I only have a macbook pro availble, so no sata). I tried accessing it via IP and using the M圜loud application, but nothing shows up. I realise it can take quite a while to first initialise so I left it over night (10 hours) but still it remained white So, every thing was a success except now when I plug in the device the light just stays white, according to the manual this means the M圜loud is initialising (starting up). It took a while - I’ve never really used linux - but I think everything went well (no errors or anything). But I made sure it matched the screengrab of your partition table perfectly. The only difference is, I before I did the restore I choose to repartition the whole drive and start fresh to be extra sure. I followed your instructions exactly using the M圜loud 3TB img (extracted from WDM圜loud-030101028.zip) and restored the two 2.1GB partitions. Hi sambrella (and other helpful/frustrated members)
