WD TWONKY UPDATE INSTALL

Now you can install the Firmware by using the EX4100 WEB-Frontend. If you can process all guided steps without Errors, you get your own custom Firmware inside of the merge Folder (named WD-NAS-Firmware) with the new twonky Version inside.Ĭopy the file WD-NAS-Firmware to your local Windows machine into a local folder by using the way over the Public share of your EX4100. If you get some Errors because of missing Linux program parts, you must install them with the “sudo apt-get install” Linux command. Perform step by step of the guide-content, but ignore and skip step 3 (you don’t need step 3) Inside the expanded EX4100 source Folder you can find a description called My_Cloud_EX4100_Release_Notes_GPL…, to guid you through the build-process of the Firmware package. Now it is time to build the custom Firmware. When this is done, you can delete the old twonky_x Folder -īut ATTENTION: do NOT delete or move any other file or Folder inside of the Firmware package - otherwise you can destroy your NAS! Now go to the old twonky_x Folder, copy the cgi-bin Folder, the twonky.sh and twonkyserver-default.ini and all other additional files, which are NOT part of the new twonky Folder and paste them into your new twonky folder. Go inside the new Directory and delete the cgi-bin Folder and the files twonky.sh and twonkyserver-default.ini. Now copy the expanded twonky Folder with the new twonky Version into this Directory. Rename the twonky Folder to twonky_x (we need some files from the Folder in later steps!) Go two Directorys deeper to the module Folder and search for the twonky Folder. Go to the Firmware Folder inside of the EX4100 files.

Now you have to replace the original twonky Version with the new one.

You have to download the original Firmware source for your WD EX4100 from the WD download page (for example )įor the EX device you have to download the twonky update build for Marvell Armada Processors ( ).Ĭopy the EX4100 source Archive and the twonky 8.3 Archive to the Ubuntu machine’s Download folder. If you use Ubuntu 64bit you have to install some missing 32bit librarys (so i recommend the usage of Ubuntu 32bit).

You need a installed Ubuntu 16.04 on a virtual machine like virtualBox (this is freeware from Oracle), configured with min. Even a small bug can make your NAS useless. All subsequent steps are at your own risk. Please note that no guarantee is given on my part. Otherwise you are not able to activate twonky after Installation of your custom Firmware.ĪTTENTION by all steps. You must create your own custom Firmware with the new twonky Version inside!īut note: You have to purchase a twonky license key before you go on to work on this. So you can update existing modules or even add new modules. But the good news are: WD provides the entire firmware package as open source. All critical files are stored in hidden storage areas and are not directly accessible. The operating system of the new M圜loud devices is very closed. Some Linux experience would be an advantage. The upgrade process is not difficult, but a little bit tricky. But there was no post to find in the web. Hi, 2 weeks ago i purchased a new EX4100 and searched also for a guide to upgrade the installed twonky 7.2.9-13 to twonky 8.3.
