Is it still possible to install QNAP TS-219P firmware to Fujitsu Celvin Q700?

English Firmware

I have Fujitsu Celvin Q700 with the latest firmware 4.3.3 - 0566 (24.05.2018). Back in the day you could install QNAP TS-219P firmware to Q700 because they are basically the same device. I noticed that TS-219P has received updates as late as 2024 (4.3.3.2784 build 20240619) so 6 years more than the Fujitsu: TS-219 - Download Center | QNAP

I’d like to switch to using the QNAP firmware to make my NAS more secure, but the firmware does not install on my Q700. I found the following instructions online:

How to cross upgrade Fujitsu Celvin Q700 with QNAR TS-219 firmware[/B]

First of all you will need the followings files.
[I]1. QNAP Finder or Fujitsu Finder
2. Fujitsu Q700 Firmware 3.2.4 - 0319T
3. QNAP TS-219 Firmware 3.2.3 Build0212
4. QNAP TS-219 Firmware latest (At this time 3.3.8 Build1217[/I]

You will find the above files at these URL's.

Procedure
[I]1. Downgrade your Q700 to 3.2.4 firmware preferred with the use of one of the above finders.
2. Copy the QNAP firmware 3.2.4 named TS-219_3.2.3_Build0212.zip to the Public Folder of your Q700.
3. Use ssh to login to server. (Mac Users: Use Terminal and type ssh addressofnas@admin and enter then asks you for password by default on Q700 is admin.)
Help for Windows Users is welcome.
4. Type the following commands
[LIST]
mv /share/Public/TS-219_3.2.3_Build0212.zip /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update/TS-219_3.2.3_Build0212.zip
ln -sf /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update /mnt/update
/etc/init.d/update.sh /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update/TS-219_3.2.3_Build0212.zip
reboot
[/LIST]

5. After a while and if everything went fine you will see in one of the Finders your Q700 stated as TS-219 with firmware 3.2.3Build0212
6. Update your firmware again with one of the finders with the latest firmware of QNAP.[/I]

All done.

The problem is that I cannot find the old QNAP firmware (3.2.3Build0212) anywhere. The download links in the old post no longer work.

Do you know if the old firmware is still available somewhere, or would there be some other way to install the latest QNAP firmware on my Celvin Q700?

Before doing it, make sure backing up all of your data on this Q700 and this better to be used as your second backup in the future.

I found this doc from Fujitsu. It seems that Q700 is not in their transition plan. https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/CELVIN%20NAS%20Transition_V3.0_en.pdf

I tried it on QE807. First, I downloaded and installed Fujitsu_to_QNAP_0.3.qpkg and it changed my QE807 to QNAP NAS model.

Then I can update it with QNAP firmware. Then I follow rest of steps to reinitialized my NAS. Of course, I backup all my data beforehand. Now, my NAS becomes TS-431P and installed with the latest firmware.
