Ok. before I go out willy nilly installing things, what can I expect to break if I do the upgrade?
Bearing in mind that most of my extra functionality has been provided through optware.
edit so much for that. I've started the download anyway. Here's hoping I'm not rebuilding the thing again. Good Luck!
Some terminal output, anything else interesting you want to see?

Things that work:
-enabling ssh via firmware upgrade
-installing optware
-Transmission+php+fast-cgi etc. via optware
Things that didn't work:
-needed to edit fstab to mount sda4 properly
The upgrade is a self extracting tar + gzip file. You can download it here:
(This is for a MBWEII, I am not sure it applies to a MBWEI).
http://cache.websupport.wdc.com/wdgxnc-02.00.15.wdg
Saving the files might be a good way to restore MBWEII.

is it the only way to update firmware or is there another way like ssh hack (Martin Hinner)
well i used the scripts in /usr/www/nbin because i threw out the web interface a long time ago..
other way is from the webinterface

i upgrade to new firmware from webinterface its easy.(i didn't see the button damn!)
rtorrent works fine but i couldn't configre transmission. while configuring transmission i make lhttpd unusable. webinterface gone ! lhttpd.conf file look fine but i can't access tru explorer
So I tried to build mt-daapd from source and got an error:
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
I thought that maybe my $PATH was screwed:
[root@MyBookWorld ~]# echo $PATH
/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin
Woops- what's going on here?:
[root@MyBookWorld sbin]# find / -name gcc
Nothing.
So is it just me, where has my compiler gone?
yep is gone. u can always grab it from the backup

Is the firmware uclibc built with LDSO_RUNPATH? That would allow one to run optware without LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ldconfig.
See also http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-29433#post-83512
If their firmware source code is available, someone with serial console access (or at least can mount the disk some where else) really should try reconfigure and replace the uclibc.
No, it is not.
I find it still necessary to run ldconfig specifying /opt/lib.
I would try as you suggest, but I'm not confident in my own skills at the moment to try.
well it kinda formats your root partition so you need to start all over again, i would suggest not to upgrade if you dont want to lose your configs and stuff. make a backup.
bleeding edge FTW!

There is a unfs3 package in the optware feeds. I wonder what the performance is like. I think I would prefer a packaged userspace implementation that is easy to update than grabbing something from the backup image.

Oh no not mionet again. So what's the difference with mionet with this firmware. Thanks kevku.
Is it just me or has this actually speeded the drive up ? . 1gb folder in 5 mins on 100mbps net . Cant think if its quicker or not .
well i'm getting the usual 4.5-5 MB/s tho i have lots of applications running (mrtg, transmission, php)

Could well be early morning and not enough coffee or just wishful thinking . Network monitor was showing over 50% use with nothing else on the go . It was about 35% before the new firmware .
Those speeds seem to be about the same speeds I see w/i updating the firmware.

omfg!! seems like the new firmware is actually faster i got 9.5 MB/s down over ftp!
but i still don't recommend it coz the WD guys have really stripped it and there are a lot of stuff missing what you might need..
hmm but upload is still the same 5 MB/s so it doesn't make that much difference

What about file transfer over SAMBA? Is there any improvement?
Also, it is necesary to reinstall everything (optware), right?
I use it to store media files and open them directly from the drive and with the old firmware it seams that HD don't work very nice, so that info might be interesting. Thanks!
I got an average data rate of around 6.8 MB/Sec (peak data rate of about 7.5 MB/Sec) downloading from a smb share over Fast Ethernet.
Uploads average at 4.4 MB/Sec and peak at 4.6 MB/Sec.
However, I have always connected via my 54g wireless so I have nothing to compare against.
Mionet disabled. running a couple of torrents in transmission.

I have tried to reapply the ssh firmware update but I can't. I keep getting the same error - Firmware failed to download - try later. What do I need to do to get this to install again?
It was actually working, the screen was just displaying the wrong message.
I am also getting the error "Firmware failed to download - try again later" with Martins firmware script. WTF? my isp isn't using proxies and the process worked the day before i updated to new firmware.
Im lost
Could anyone provide some other steps to update the firmware?
I've been attempting to update the firmware, though I continually get a blank screen from http://****/auth/firmware_upgrade.pl
Yeah, I ran the upgrade now I get the same result as Scott when trying to re-enable SSH with Martins script.
Firmware failed to download - try later
Anyone managed to get around this?
Can you run firmware upgrades from a local source, or does it all need to be from the net? If so, can you upgrade wit Martins script from by pointing to a file on the drive?
you can upgrade the firmware using the scripts in the /var/www/nbin folder
but you'll need and average Linux and programming skill. I used that method and i needed to modify some paths in the scripts to make them work .
ohh and I'm too lazy to make an how-to

I agree, new entry for wiki must be done for this. This thread does not tell the essential i.e
- what new firmware actually upgrades/downgrades
- is it worthwile to upgrade
- how does it affect to hacking i.e optware, nano, vsftp, smb, smart_spindown etc
- etc
There you go: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/firmware-2-00-15
And how to install it
While attempting fw upgrade, I think I corrupted the file
/var/upgrade/latestfw.sh
So, can someone post the original file of it?
Or just feel free to send me an email to ten.ellivze|llufyoj#ten.ellivze|llufyoj
Thanks a lot.
This file is just the wdgxcn-02.00.xx.wdg file listed at the bottom of this post, but renamed!
Download and transfer, and jobs a goodun.
Also look at the manual firmware update method listed on post:

New Firmware Upgrade = VERY VERY VERY BAD IDEA!!!!!!
I upgraded my firmware and ssh access was lost entirely. Not one of the methods discussed in the forum with regards to regaining ssh access worked and in the end I have had to recover my drive using the rescue procedure. Fortunately I had no data on it having had to do the recovery procedure once before.
On a seperate note, has anyone had any success installing Transmission+Clutch using Optware? I have been going in circles for days going backwards and forwards through the various post trying to sort it out. None of the people who claim to have got it working have posted their methods of success (none that work for me anyway). I also tried the long way using koola's HowTo on his site but no joy. I am so frustrated with this. All I want to do is have a torrent box that works.
you could just have edited the inetid.conf file /etc/ to enable telnet and ssh….
as I can confirm had no problem using the Martin Hinner's ssh upgrade. maybe it's just a problem with your isp who uses a proxy to connect to the internet
also there is an option that your ssh keys were old.. so you need to delete them or just use telnet

I to can confirm that Martin's ssh script works perfectly. You may want to put it on your local webserver if you are having proxying issues with your ISP.
Regarding Transmission+Clutch using Optware, I used this method post firmware upgrade and it was relatively simple. I would have been glad to help you out, but you haven't posted in the Help me build & setup Transmission thread as far as I can see. Just saying "I tired and it didn't work" Doesn't give anyone else much guidance on what advice to give you.
could anyone with old fw look into his /usr/mionet/Senvid.txt and and see what's the versionName = NAS 2.3.9.0 ?? is

hmm in backup image it is versionName = NAS 2.3.8.7 so i guess the mionet software is auto-updatable

Is there any changelog of the offical firmware update to My Book Worl Edition?
Hi Vampiro,
not a changelog as such, but an overwiew of the changes on a higher level under http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/firmware-2-00-15

If I upgrade the new firmware will I lose all my data (files and folders)?
According to this post: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-45740/upgrade-firmware only the data on the root partition (/dev/md1) will be lost. All data stored on the 'normal' data partition (/dev/md4 mounted under /shares/internal) will be left untouched.
Since I didn't make the upgrade myself I cannot say if this is true. Perheaps someone who did could confirm this.
Z80
All right, all of you who really want to see what happens during the upgrade, have a look at http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/firmware-2-00-15.
I have attached both the files provided by kevku further up in this thread as well as a diff done on those files.
As you can see, there are lots of changes, most of them due to the removal of the gcc compiler, along with all files needed for compilation and all the zoneinfo.
Remember that kevku didnt do this on a clean installation, according to his post.
Z80
All hello! How to recover gcc? Firmware 02.00.15 was already set on a new device..
Has anyone had good results with the optware nfs?
So i took the tar of the files from the old version, and deleted from them where a file existed in the new version:
the following is the list of files that are left.
can i just move all of these files into my main directory tree? or are there any particular ones i should remove.. my goal is to get gcc working again.
After following this site for a while, I went to purchase the device yesterday. The first thing I wanted to try was to update to this new firmware. I test it just now, the upgrade is not available anymore. Is it just me? or they took the new firmware offline.
the same for me - actual the firmware update is not available
