Goflex Home Problem after upgrade

[mkserg84]

I have come across Goflex Home Problem after upgrade it from standart software to archlinux. Now I am trying to downgrade soft using standart procedure described in http://support.goflexhome.hipserv.com/en/reflash/ and it is not working for me as my pressing reset button no react and green led always blinking.
I'll try to do reinstallation procedure from this site http://archlinuxarm.org/support/reinstallation and in this way the green led is strictly glow but I can't get the management to the device using standart DHCP conncetion procedure discribed in documentation.
Please help to solve this problem if it is possible.
Thanks in advance.

Did you download armv5 or kirkwood rootfs ? Kirkwood one should work.
To revert the precedure described will not work afaik since you have a different uboot flashed

Moonman please send me the next step notice how to startup the OS from Storage and not from USB. As I understand you are the create expert for goflex home
Thanks in advance.

01. Boot from that usb stick (with the sata drive removed)
02. Plug in the sata drive
03. Run dmesg and notice what the sata drive is identified as (will likely be sdb)
04. Run fdisk /dev/sdb (replace sdb with what you noticed in step 3)
05. remove all partitions, and re-create them as you wish making sure first partition is less than 20GB
06. mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 (again replace sdb1 with what you noticed in step 3 (sdc1 sdg1 .. whatever)
07. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt (again replace sdb1...)
08. cd /mnt
09. wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
10. tar xzf ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
11. sync
12. reboot
