Netgate 1100 bricked - any possibility to restore to factory?
-
With a direct reference to this Stack Overflow post, then I am hoping someone would be able to help me salvage my SG-1100, so I can use it again. If I somehow can restore it back to any kind of working state (e.g. factory default), I would be happy, but so far I have had no luck at all and it seems unfixable for me.

-
What have you tried? How did it fail?
You should always be able to reinstall clean. Unless perhaps the storage has failed. Or the hardware itself has failed.
Is that actually your thread in serverfault?

@stephenw10 - yes, this is my Stack Overflow post.
It is as stated on the post - as I could not connect to it, then I unplugged the power. Since then it will not do a proper boot, and I suspect the filesystem has got corrupted.
I have imaged a bootable USB, but it will not boot that. Then I have tried a lot of various stuff, and some of it is documented in the SO post, but if anyone can suggest something I can try, then I will post the result here.
With a boot then I end up with this:

OKIdeally I would of course like to boot the USB, with the SG-1100 image downloaded from Netgate store, netgate-installer-v1.0-RC-aarch64-20240919-1435.img, and flashed with balenaEtcher - but it does not at all boot from the USB.
-
Hmm, so what happens if you try to boot USB in the normally way by entering
run usbrecoveryat the uboot prompt? -
@stephenw10 - good point, and this is what happens:

Is it the eMMC that has completely broken?
-
Yes, unfortunately that looks like a failed eMMC.
It is possible to install to and boot from a second USB drive from the Net Installer. You may want to try that.
-
@stephenw10 - I have now inserted a USB stick into the blue USB slot and the bootable USB in the other USB slot, but I don't get any option to select another target device. Also the documentation states:
During the installation process the installer will prompt to select a target drive. The installer will then write pfSense Plus to the chosen drive. The Netgate-1100 device only supports its internal storage for this purpose, which is mmcsd0.
Any hints on how that would be archieved?
-
You are using the aarch64 net installer image? That should offer you a drive choice even if eMMC is the only officially supported one.
-
@stephenw10 - I am using the image netgate-installer-aarch64.img.gz downloaded from the Netgate store not that long ago. This will give the IMG file of netgate-installer-v1.0-RC-aarch64-20240919-1435.img, which is what I have imaged to the USB.
-
Hmm, maybe try a different USB drive in the other slot then because I have tested installing to USB from that. Whilst it's a bit quirky it can work. I expect to see da1 offered as an install target.
-
@stephenw10 - I do not have much luck with this either it seems. This is from the two commands:

I have tried with all the USB sticks I have, with various formats and types. I don't have a real USB harddisk, but I would expect that if I can create a bootable USB that Netgate can use, then it should also work for this, right?
Is it important if the USB stick is formatted or all partitions deleted (though I have tried both)?
I am running out of options it seems :-/
-
Just to show an error I also get, depending on the USB then I can also get this error:

So, I expect this reader/writer is not compatible or alike - not sure, but I would expect my real USB sticks would be fine (ranging from 2GB to 32GB).
-
Oh, yes be sure to use the USB drive directly. I've never managed to get it to work correctly via any sort of adapter.
You may also need to fully power cycle it to reset the USB controller after seeing error like that.
You should see both da0 and da1 in the boot logs when both drives are correctly detected.
-
@stephenw10 - can you tell what kind of USB stick you have used, and in which USB port it was located in (I expect blue, as this must be USB3?)? Maybe I can replicate that?
-
When I did it I used a USB2 drive in the USB2 slot because when both drives are present it tries to boot from the USB3 slot first. You should be able to move it afterwards.
It should at least recognise both drives in the boot messages if it is booting.
