Thank you for your attention and please forgive my poor English.
I installed ArchLinux ARM on my goflex home, well, it ran well but it's slower and slower recently, so I wanted to go back to the stock firmware. I followed the instructions from doozan.com as the following wishing I could boot the stock firmware with this operation (maybe it worked previously? I don't remember that well):
cd /tmp
wget http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh
chmod +x install_uboot_mtd0.sh
./install_uboot_mtd0.sh
However, on the last step, it stopped and warned me that the code of the Uboot doesn't meet with that of Goflex Home, so I used another way as this:
wget http://goflex.scottn.us/uboot-mtd0-orig-goflexhome.kwb
flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot-mtd0-orig-goflexhome.kwb
After that, it reported the nand was successfully flashed. Then I re-ran the ./install_uboot_mtd0.sh from doozan.com and it went through without any problem and reported information of success. So I typed reboot to reboot my Goflex Home, but it never booted again, nor registered any IP on my router. I tried to listen on 10.10.10.5 6666, as well as 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.4 with a Macbook, but got nothing at all.
I also created a USB disk with the latest rootfs (Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2), after plugged in the USB disk, the front light went off, but there was still no registration of the device on my router. I also put the uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment as uEnv.txt into the boot folder, but got no luck either. After powered on, the front green light blinked quickly, followed by the amber light, and the USB disk is blinking, too, indicating some access is happening. After a while (one minute or so), all front light went off, the USB access stopped.
So, is there any chance for restoring my device back? It the JTAG or a serial cable the only way to save it? Thank you very much!
BTW, I have a LAN (RJ45) to COM cable, will that work as a serial cable?
