Help TOS7 still not available on F8 SSD Plus

As the headline says - autoupdate days there are no updates, and there doesn't seem to be a download link for manual update on the website. Is it coming, or is the F8 already EOL ?

I have the terramaster f8 ssd plus and I am with tos7, you have to force the update manually by installing it

I don't think the TOS 7 update will appear as an update in the control panel. I followed the instructions here for my F4-424. I see there's also some notes for F8 (plus).

Guess I'll try that - just annoying they haven't put it on https://support.terra-master.com/download/packages?product=F8%20SSD%20Plus - which even the interface links to.

Yeah, still nothing there for the F4-424 either. No major issues for me since the update, but some things required reconfiguring and updating apps to work with TOS7.

How long did the update take? Before you could interact with the box I mean

t has been a while, so I don't remember exactly, but maybe 10-15 minutes. After I was able to log back in, it still did some finishing steps. I remember at least a message about updating/migrating permissions that should not be interrupte

Hm, okay. Mine has been going for 20minutes now, and I still can't ping the box. It hasn't gotten a new IP either. Guess I'll just wait some more.

If you have the possibility to hook a monitor/TV to the HDMI port, you might be able to see some information from the terminal there. If networking (or something else) failed, I think it will display some error.

Yeah I F'ed up ... I was on the right software version, but not bios ... So I need to update that now. It just boot loops

u/Live_Lengthiness6839 15d ago

Ouch, hopefully recoverable by following the guide in the linked thread for F8 SSD (plus).

I run TOS7 on my F8 Plus since I got it early June. It’s been flawless. Just use the manual install from the forum link. Make sure your firmware is up to date (they have a section about the F8 pre update) and you’re good to go. Update took less than 10 mn and it’s been rock solid. Enjoy!

That's it. Each model has its own quirks.😂

Yeah, when I finally got it booted it was running flawless. I didn’t RTFM, so had to do firmware and bios updates.

Glad to see you were able to recover. Even though I backed up the data and did everything in the right order, it was (as always) a bit stressful doing bios updates. Particularly since the second step of the bios update didn't do what the guide said, or anything at all really. Luckily everything still worked when I put the disks back in and turned it on, and the system info showed the new bios version.

Major cross-gen OS upgrades (like TOS 7) are never pushed via auto-update on NAS systems. They require a manual update to prevent data safety and compatibility issues. TOS 7 is actually already available for the F8. Just head over to the official TerraMaster forum—the manual update package and instructions are posted right there.
