It is not true that QNAP have withdrawn the 4.2.0 firmware as I obtained it from them. However, you do have to ask nicely and sign your life away as their updates are to deal with security as well as other issues and they want to protect themselves from what I would regard as stupid and vexatious complaints if something went wrong. Of course, if you use your NAS just for Sooloos it will be behind your router and firewall etc. so the risks are small and certainly don't worry me.

For the x53A QNAPs I have the 4.2.0 firmware and, with an appropriate PM to preserve QNAPs proprietorial rights, I am sure I can pass it to you.

As I posted recently, I am unclear whether a simple change of file name would allow that firmware to be used with other QNAP x86 NASes.
