NAS Forum

ok, the story so far......i'm in need of a mediaserver so i can make use of my PS3 other than just playing games.

spent a few nights surfing and found a few threads regarding twonkymedia and tinky-ls. i was totally lost with trying to install twonky(yeah, yeah, easy you will say) but i was lost.

found out that i could upgrade the firmware easily enugh using the smartdisk firmware page. all went ok, new black gui, pretty smart. but still i didnt know how to install twonky. there were lots of commands that didnt do anything in my cmd box(windows xp)

so i spent a few more hours surfing and found a german firmware that looked like(well the translation was sort of in english) it had twonky already built into it. so i gave it a go and managed to brick the thing.

spent the night trying to use telnet so i could follow the steps found on http://mrt.nas-central.org/index.php/The…nbricking_guide

managed to get the files onto the nas (more by luck than judgment) but i get no gui when i boot it up. the network finds it as sohonas but no gui

any help with the unbricking will be apreciated, but just remember, i don't do linux, just dos, lol

this looks like the tool?

will need to get a plug for the board, will i need to solder it on or will it work just pushed into place?

Hi all

after many a late night head scratching, and with lots of help for HWguru we have finally managed to unbrick my smartdisk/verbatim sohonas

to enable the jtag on the nas you need to solder across R28 and the jtag will connect and allow the bootloader to be flashed.

then you can revert back to telnet and use the firmware.save flash kindly available on http://thomas.schiex.free.fr/Files/

so less of this

and more of

you can also change to the tinky-mu firmware via the web-gui update and the file http://thomas.schiex.free.fr/Sohonas/SohonasTinky-130608/ again kindly supplied by Thomas Schiex

all i have to do now is try and work out how to install twonkymedia which started the whole bricking excercise out(any help on that please don't by shy )

cheers
