Merlin Ac68 - hdd not detected

[Radu Toader]

Hi,
I have upgraded from 380.58 to 380.62_1 and now my hdd is not detected anymore.
I have tried to revert to 380.58 but there is an error about the firmware integrity/certificate... i can only go to 380.60 but hdd is not detected in this firmware too.. i tried all versions from 380.60 > 380.62_1 and hdd is not detected.

dmesg :

NOTE: resetting to factory default after flashing is
strongly recommended for the following cases:

- Updating from a firmware version that is more than 3 releases older
- Switching from a Tomato/DD-WRT/OpenWRT firmware

If you run into any issue after an upgrade and you haven't done so,
try doing a factory default reset as well.

Always read the changelog, as mandatory resets will be mentionned
there when they are necessary.

In all of these cases, do NOT load a saved copy of your settings!
This would be the same thing as NOT resetting at all, as you will
simply re-enter any invalid setting you wanted to get rid of. Make
sure to create a new backup of your settings after reconfiguring.

I did factory reset, all the times without reloading the saved conf.

I tried hdd on a pc and it worked, so its not broken:-?

 

[nobody13]

Did you tried another HDD or USB stick

 

[Radu Toader]

I tried with usb stick and another hdd and it worked, it seems that 'sinan' usb3 enclosures doesn't work anymore, because I have 2 sinan enclosures, both not working on asus but work on pc, they used to work on asus tough... and I have tried another enclosure which works..

seems like sinan firmware is not supported anymore
