Hello ,
You should find that a firmware restoration utility came bundled with your WL-HDD 2.5.
Hi,
First of all: what an absolutely great support forum, this!
Before flashing my new wl-hdd2.5 with new firmware, I would like to have a way back. The firmware that was installed by default (1.2.3.6) is nowhere to be found on the 'net.
Here Oleg and others explain how to copy the firmware to a file; this I have done, through busybox.
This yields 2 files:
3866624 flash
262144 pmon
Will these files enable me to go back to the current state, for example through a standard firmware update? Or do i simply cat them back to where they came from? This is something that has not become clear to me.
Or am I missing something and is there a far better way to backup my current firmware for later use?
Thank you for your help!

... the current firmware version is not on the CD (1.2.3.6).
So my quiestion becomes, is it possible to use the files I save in the manner described above, as an 'image' to feed to this firmware restore utility?
Hi,
Does anyone have the answer to my question?
To rephrase: Using telnet and this post I have created two files on the hard disk of my WL-HDD / WL-HMD:
flash, 3866624 bytes
pmon, 262144 bytes
Can I use these files as input for the firmware flash tool? I am asking because the firmware version on my WL-HMD (Firmware 1.2.3.6, DMS (media server?) 1.1) cannot be found on the net and is not on the CD's in the box. I would really like the option of going back.
Thank you! And sorry for kicking the thread up.
