REQUEST: DOM Recovery Image for TS-453A (.img file)

Hi everyone,

I am trying to perform a firmware recovery on my TS-453A (Intel x86) via Clonezilla, but I am missing the factory DOM image file (.img). The physical DOM is fine, it just had a different OS installed on it previously.

Does anyone happen to have a backup of the original DOM Recovery Image specifically for the TS-453A? I would highly appreciate a PM or a cloud link!

Thank you in advance!

You already got two replies on reddit, why also post here ?

Hi @HaVLIS ,

Thank you for your question.

Also, special thanks to @dolbyman for the helpful information and for pointing this out.

For your reference, the official x86-based NAS Recovery Guide is available here:
https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/faq/article/nas-recovery-guide-for-x86-based-nas

As mentioned by @dolbyman, the following image is the DOM base recovery image referenced in that guide:

You may review it together with the recovery guide above, and then follow the documented procedure to restore the DOM to the latest available version afterward.

Thank you again to @dolbyman for the helpful information and support.
