Buffalo NAS-Central Forums

Hiya,
Buffalo forced me last week to update the f/w on my ls-xhl.
Since than telnet access has been shut down.
I am now wondering if should reapply the old f/w 'LS Series 1.58 Mod 1a'
on my ls-xhl.
therefore my questions are -
reapplying the old f/w is only a temporarily solution- is there a way to backup whatever essential files
before applying the new f/w on top of the old one?
also which files do i need to back up?
thx,blub4747

You had a patched firmware (1.58 mod a) and replaced it with
an unpatched one (yes, you REPLACED the firmware, because this
is the way, an "update" is handled).
You could not expect more than you got, unfortunately.
You will need to "open" your firmware yourself now, or wait for
Shonk to provide an already opened 1.60 and to reapply this then.
Some say, that 1.60 can be opened the same way as every firmware
since 1.24.

RAID (no matter which level) never ever substitutes a backup. (me)

to clarify this.
first the indicator light turned red and made me check the gui.
once i logged in there was a message telling me about the new f/w.
i than decided to leave it for now.
a few days later from than on i could only ping the ls-xhl nothing else!
i could not access the gui nor i would the ls-xhl appear as a share in my network.
therefore i had no other choice than upgrade the f/w.
thx,blub

I am currently thinking of two routes how to resolve this problem.
one would be to erapply the old f/w (if possible) and to somehow suppress the new f/w
is this possible?

the other router which i am currently trying is to open ssh access with the acp commander.
unfortunately iam running into some errors

What guide did you follow?
This is NOT the guide for LS-XHL nor the guide for the LS-VL.
Maybe you should have a look at the guides in our Wiki?

download the last shonk firmware
extract busybox2 from /bin/ in hddrootfs.buffalo.updated use 7zip
put busybox2 on your nas

now use acp commander to do this
make a link to busybox2 and name i telnetd
try to start the link manually or edit any script to start the link
dont forget to make i executable

ps: i never do it this way - possible it works - just to get in - dont forget to fix it when you get full access
