eth0 | Ethernet port | DHCP |
Crypto Hardware Acceleration
SSH
Connect device to Ethernet port. To prevent automatic updates by cloud engines (which may disable ssh access), use a separate switch or disconnect your router from the internet. If the ssh access was disabled by the automatic cloud engine update service, you need to login there and re-activate ssh.
Find IP address, BE and EF are the last two bytes of the MAC of your device (printed on the bottom of the GoFlexHome)
Connect to IP address via ssh (root / stxadmin) to see if it works.
Backup
If you want to restore the original firmware at a later point use this guide to make a backup. You need to login to the original firmware via ssh first.Another method beside using “dd” is nanddump. To be on the safe side, you should take a 2nd backup with the nanddump method.Assuming you have a USB Stick or other USB drive mapped via sda - you can try this:
Install u-boot and OpenWrt into NAND via serial cable and tftp-server
Installation

GoFlexHome | 19.07.7 | http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.7/targets/kirkwood/generic/openwrt-19.07.7-kirkwood-seagate_goflexhome-squashfs-factory.bin | http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.7/targets/kirkwood/generic/openwrt-19.07.7-kirkwood-seagate_goflexhome-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin |
Prepare on PC
Download files(change the 18.06.2 in the following link into whatever is the last OpenWrt release) https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.2/targets/kirkwood/generic/u-boot-goflexhome/u-boot.kwb
Start tftp-server
Copy files u-boot.kwb, openwrt-18.06.2-kirkwood-seagate_goflexhome-squashfs-factory.bin to /tmp
Install u-boot
Hit any key to stop autoboot in the u-boot and set goflexhome ip, tftp-server ip, set your mac-address from bottom of the machine:
download from tftp-server u-boot.kwb file to RAM start offset 0x6400000
or
Bytes transferred = 607044 (94344 hex)
erase nand start from 0x0 size 0x100000
write nand from RAM start offset 0x6400000 to nand start 0x0 size 0x100000 (1MB)
reboot device
now you are rebooting in the new u-boot
Install OpenWrt
Hit any key to stop autoboot in the u-boot and set goflexhome ip, tftp-server ip, set your mac-address from bottom of the machine:
download from tftp-server file openwrt-18.06.2-kirkwood-seagate_goflexhome-squashfs-factory.bin to RAM start default offset 0x800000
Load address: 0x800000…Bytes transferred = 4063232 (3e0000 hex)
erase nand UBI partition
write nand from RAM start offset 0x800000 to nand UBI partition size 0x3e0000
reboot device
Congratulations!
Upgrading from Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 to LEDE 17.01.4 using SSH and MTD
In version 15.05.01 'sysupgrade' not available for GoFlex Home. Use 'mtd' instead to flash the firmware.Note: This is upgrade instruction from already installed OpenWrt. Also, if you have serial access you can still do the normal installation as above.
- To ssh into the OpenWrt GoFlex Home device.
output:
- Download last firmware release LEDE 17.01.4 to /tmp:
- Check extracted files:
Seagate External Hard Drive Serial Number
output:
Seagate Serial Checker
- Write 'kernel':
- Write 'rootfs' with reboot after:
