Instruktaż/Tutorial Jak flashować BIOS po wyłączeniu obsługi USB na którym pracuje DOM (Disk-On-Module) ?

[Silas Mariusz]

Regarding to the different design, for some NAS models, if the user enters BIOS and disables USB SUPPORT, the system may not be able bootup NAS from USB DOM and USB keyboard is not working as well.
At this moment, you may need to RMA the NAS or follow below steps to flash BIOS. Inexperienced users should not attempt this procedure alone. If you are considering to do it., it is strongly recommended that you first contact your reseller for help and guidance.

1. Shut down NAS and unplug all disks from the NAS.
   
   
2. Prepare an extra SATA disk (Caution: DO NOT use NAS data disks).
   
   
3. Install the disk into an USB external enclosure and connect USB cable to Windows PC.
   
   
4. Download RMPrepUSB tool from below link and install it.

5. Launch RMPrepUSB tool to start creating bootable DOS disk.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Click OK and then hit CTRL+Z to list large drives.
   
   
   
   
   
7. Refer to below screenshot to enter proper value or select proper option at
   1. Partition Size: 2000 MB
      
      
   2. Volume Label: DOS
      
      
   3. Bootloader Options: MS-DOS bootable [IO.SYS] ...
      
      
   4. Filesystem and Overrides: FAT16 and check Boot as HDD (C: 2PTNS)
      
      
   5. Select checkbox: Copy OS files from here after formatting ...
      
      
   6. ... and choose source: C:\Program Files (x86)\RMPrepUSB\FREEDOS_USB_BOOT
      
      
   7. Click on 6 Prepare Drive button to start drive preparation.

   8. Click OK to continue.
      
      
      
      
      
   9. Click OK to confirm to erase all data on this drive.
      
      
      
      
      
   10. Copy is completed. Click OK button.
       
       
   
   
8. Install grub4dos
   • Click on Install grub4dos button to install bootloader.
     
     
     
     
     
   • Click Yes button to install to MBR.
     
     
     
     
     
   • Click OK to confirm.
     
     
     
     
     
   • Click Enter to continue.
     
     
     
     
     
   • Click OK to copy grldr file to the drive.
     
     
   
   
9. The bootable DOS disk preparation is done. Now you need to copy BIOS file to the drive and add the flash BIOS batch file, “GO.BAT” into the bootup script file to flash the BIOS automatically after the system powers on.
   • Copy BIOS files to bootable disk drive
     
     
     
     
     
   • Right-click on the file, FDAUTO.bat to edit it.
     
     
     
     
     
   • Append ;C:\ to 2nd line
     Append ;A:\ to 3rd line
     Add GO.BAT to last line
     
     
     
     
     
   • Click Ctrl+S to save the file.
   
   
10. Now you can disconnect the drive from the USB external enclosure and plug it into disk slot of NAS. Power on the NAS.
    • Wait for it to go to next step automatically.
      
      
      
      
      
    • The BIOS flash procedure is running automatically.
      
      
    
    
11. Once the process is done, please shutdown the machine. Unplug the bootable disk and plug back all NAS data drives and then power on NAS.

Hi,
I have done you procedure with a ts-453pro and a bin file from BIOS ROM Files
The process finished without errors but unfortunately the NAs does not boot anymore since that. No hdmi-output, no beeps.
Do someone know if the AMI boot block method works with QNAP NAS and if yes, how?
Unfortunately your procedure does not backup the old bios to the disk. This should be helpful if something has went wrong during flashing as in my case.
I am wondering if the file to flash for the 453pro was the right on because it has more than 8 Mbytes and that is way to much for a flash module, isn't it? Or are the -bin files need to be prepared before flashing them?
Regards

Hello,

I think my tvs 463 have a broken BIOS.
After power on my Nas change automatic in Bios.
What bios Rom ist the right for my TVS 463?

Thx und sorry for my Bad English

Steffen

 

[Silas Mariusz]

please use translate.google.com
what do you mean you power NAS and change automatic in bios, but what?

 

[Steffen79]

Hello ,

I think I deleted the flash / dom and look for the partition.
I have used fdisk d and this at all.
Now the TVS-463 does not recognize the dom / flash any more.
Can I see this in the bios?

greeting

 

[Silas Mariusz]

BIOS is something else than DOM.
If you didnt do any BIOS Flash operation than its fine.
Probably you deleted DOM. Go and look for recovery for this QNAP model.

 

[Walter Kaiserseder]

I have a serious problem.
I have an TS-659pro, somebody tried to flash the BIOS and fails
Now the TS-659pro did not boot and did not beep.
I will try to flash the BIOS via SPI.
I have searched in the INTERNET, the latest BIOS for TS-659pro is possibly Version: Q904MR28
Do you have a chance to supply this BIOS, otherwise this NAS-Server ist for thrash.
Thank you very much in advance.
Walter

 

[Silas Mariusz]

Yes. Will do this at Monday.
Do you have any additional hardware version? And motherboard number?

I must say there is some mismatch in model name. There is something wrong with provided info. I have own QNAP PN/SN list dump and cant find thats QNAP and its correct model no. This does not mean its not origin QNAP because as I said before I have my private database and these SN and PN are not recognized in that not official dump. This could be custom production unit (developed for NASA, ESA, or goverment...), or ... OEM stuff (for CISCO, Fujitsu, Siemens or something....) or... its just not listed my custom DB.

But...
Will give you two BIOS dumps. For 659 and 859.
Please try both.
TS-459 Pro, TS-659 Pro - TS459ProII-R10_MR12.zip
TS-859 Pro - TS-859-R11_MR28.zip

Please do this on own risk!
Best is to order same BIOS chip, SPI flash module for low-voltage SPI chips and then replace original BIOS chip with the new one. (DO NOT OVERHEAT SPI FLASH CHIPS WHEN REPLACING)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot for the BIOS dumps, i think "TS-859 Pro - TS-859-R11_MR28.zip" is exactly what i need.
It will be a good idea from you to buy a "SST25VF080B" program it outside, remove the old chip and
solder the new one programmed chip in. I will keep you informed about success or not.
Whish all the best for you.

Help! On the point 9. What is inside the file "GO.BAT"
Can somebody help me?

 

[Silas Mariusz]

GO.BAT is a run file which flash BIOS. What is your NAS model?

 

[Grumete]

HS-251, USB don't work, because in BIOS I'was DISSABLE USB 3.0 and this dead the NAS.
I have all ready for revival the HS-251, but the GO.BAT stop me

Połączono posty: 10 Marzec 2023

Inside GO.BAT there must be an instruction for AFUDOS.exe, but I don't know which one.
