Updating 6085 firmware via a Mac

Apparently impossible as Nokia (are you listening ?)persist in turning a blind eye/deaf ear toward Mac users pleas for a Mac Suite. Feasibility of using iSync already noted though I'll need a plug in for my new 6085 - from www.media.de (whence directed on an Apple Discussion Forum t'other day)
So I assume none of us Nokia/Mac folk can ever update our Cell/Mobile phone firmware. I'll be eligble (thanks to my Vodafone contract) for a new phone in 18 months time... and if Nokia still leave me out in the cold I'll desert them.

I, too, hope that Nokia puts out a firmware updater for the Mac.
On the astronomy side of things, Meade Telescopes is known for its Windows software, but kindly provides for an Internet based Java application for updating. Perhaps there's a way for Nokia to do that... but it would be best handled via a dedicated Mac application.
It makes sense for them to develop such given the explosion in Mac users. Nokia phones make a lot of sense for those of us Mac users who find the iPhone wonderful but too steep!

How to upgrade e50 firmware via apple mac?

I own an E50 (RM-170) which is currently running v 06.41.3.0.
How do I tell what the most up-to-date firmware is?
And how do I upgrade the firmware into the phone using an Apple Mac? (I saw the updater software for Windows but couldn't see a Mac version).
Thanks
Peter Crow, New Zealand

Check on the Nokia software update site for your specific model. Be aware that they release firmware for different regions at different times.
As for upgrading via a Mac, that isn't available as yet.
Don't bother trying through Parallels. I have and it doesn't work.

Updating Linksys firmware on a Mac

I've been having an ongoing problem w/ my Linksys wireless connection. I've been told that updating the firmware may solve the problem, but I can't figure out how to do it on a Mac.
Linksys provides an auto-install program, but its an .exe file, and I don't think it can be run on a Mac. They also allow you to update the firmware online by in the router-settings page. But, when I try to update the file, it says "Upgrade Action is Not Finish!! Upgrade File Pattern Error." (computer techs aren't renowned for their grammar skills...) Any ideas? Or, do i need to find someone w/ a PC to come here and update the firmware?

"put /Users/<username>/Desktop/WRK5RG_fw.bin/CODE.BIN"
Most likely the CODE.BIN needs to be left off and the command should be:
put /Users/<username>/Desktop/WRK5RG_fw.bin
BTW, the easy way is to, in the Terminal window, type in "put " (remember the space after "put"). Then click, drag, and drop the icon of the file from the Desktop into the Terminal window. The Terminal will magically add the filename with the path so it will become:
put /Users/<username>/Desktop/WRK5RG_fw.bin

Updating Marantz firmware via CISCO 1921 Router

I have a CISCO 1921 Router running IOS Version 15.0(1r)M15. There are two Marantz 7701 pre/pro processors on the LAN side of this router. Marantz makes firmware updates available through the internet. All other network services seem to run without any issues on the 7701 except firmware updates. We can stream Pandora audio, various internet radio stations, and receive notification of firmware updates available just fine. However, if we try to actually update the firmware, the Marantz 7701 connects to the update server, then hangs trying to do the update and has to time out before I can try to do the update again. There is something in the way that Marantz uploads the firmware update that is getting blocked by the CISCO 1921.
If we put an HP ProCurve switch between the CISCO 1921 and the FIOS ONT and assign a routable IP address to the Marantz, the firmware update works just fine. If we attach the Marantz to an Apple Airport Express that is NATted/routed to a COMCAST cable modem connection the firmware update works just fine.
This is a long shot, but does anyone happen to have a Marantz 7701 attached to a CISCO router that successfully allows the Marantz firmware updates on the LAN side? If so, did you have to change any of the "default" IOS settings so the update takes place?
I tried to get some info from Marantz on how they do the firmware update, but the folks that answer the phone didn't have access to any protocol or handshake information.
Thanks for any insight or help on this.

Software update for 6233 via my Mac

Can someone tell me how I can do a ""Firmware update" using my Mac? I need to fix a bug, and apparently need to download this, only to find it's only for PCs?
HELP??

You cannot update your phones software using a mac, unless you have one of the newer macs that can also run windows.
If enough of the minority mac owners email nokia then they may make a program in the future.
You can still update your phones software by taking your phone to a nokia care point.

Unable to update E63 firmware via Nokia Suite

Hi,
I've tried to update my E63 software using Nokia Suite v3.3.86 but in vain.
The steps I've followed in the 3rd step fo update process (i.e. Install) are as follows with screenshots attached:
1. It checks for valid installation file (see attached "Installation file validation.png").
Since the update has been downloaded by it previously, it proceeds to next step.
2. It starts preparing to install (see attached "Preparing to install.png").
3. It show USB connection active screen with a windows notification saying "Nokia E63 disconnected via USB" is seen on "Install screen". (see attached "Install Screen.png" for "Install Screen").
4. Next with the same USB connection active screen, a windows notification saying "Nokia E63 connected via USB" is seen on "Install screen".
5. The windows notification disappears and the screen is still at the "Install Screen" (see attached "Install Screen.png").
6. Nothing happens even after waiting for a long time. Clicking "Next" repeats the above mentioned process from step 2.
Dialing "*#0000#" gives the following info:
"500.21.009
02-06-2010
RM-437
(c) Nokia E63-1 (308.06)"
I'm an advanced computer and mobile user and can perform specific system tasks. If there is any solution to the above issue, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it was disheartening to see that Nokia didn't provide new NSU direct link. Had to get an older version from non-Nokia site. Though after install it updated itself to a newer version but would've really appreciated if Nokia would've provided NSU as official download.

Regarding non updating of E62 firmware via NSU.

As per nokia website,The E62 has the following firmware that can be installed to the phone.
E62 RM-88 2006-09-11 2.0618.06.17 AMERICAS
E62 RM-88 2006-10-23 2.0618.06.17 APAC
E62 RM-88 2007-01-26 2.0618.06.17 APAC EMEA
E62 RM-88 2007-04-19 2.0618.06.17 AMERICAS
E62 RM-88 2007-05-21 2.0618.06.17 EMEA
E62 RM-88 2007-07-16 3.0633.09.13 AMERICAS
E62 RM-88 2007-07-17 3.0633.09.13 EMEA
E62 RM-88 2008-01-29 3.0633.31.19 EMEA
E62 RM-88 2008-06-27 2.0618.06.17 AMERICAS
E62 RM-88 2008-08-11 3.0633.09.13 AMERICAS
Any idea then why cant we update the firmware via the NSU for the E62, as the NSU does not accept to update the E62???

there are phones listed that NSU supports if your phone is not listed there is no way you can update your phone's firmware/software unless you goto the nearest nokia care point
i think 1200 is not supported...

IMac G3 won't boot after updating the firmware and upgrading the OS!

Hi! Everyone,
I have an iMac G3 333MHz (five flavors) which comes with 192MB of RAM and 6GB of hard drive. Originally, it was OS 8.5.1 installed, later upgraded to OS 9.2.2. Of course, the firmware has been updated by the appropriate method provided by the on-screen instructions before the installation of 9.2.2. After successfully updating the firmware and installing Mac OS 9.2.2, the system booted up and worked fine. However, after shutting it down and powering it up a few days later, I have encountered a critical problem:
1. At first, the iMac would chime and displayed a smiley-mac finder face.
2. No question mark appeared and the system halted because it stayed at the same screen for about 5 minutes! Also, the keyboard wouldn't respond. For instance, the LED signal light wouldn't light on when Caps Lock was pressed.
3. I assumed that this is just a typical crash and rebooted the machine via the "reset" button on the right side of the machine.
4. After restarting, well, no luck, the same condition. Therefore, I rebooted it again by using the method mentioned above.
5. The condition of sticking at the smiley-mac finder face occurred again! However, this time the iMac wouldn't chime and just displayed the mac face.
6. Another restart, well, it was getting worse... no chime and no smiley-mac finder face but a white screen.
7. I was frustrated then and shut the machine down forcefully by rebooting it again and pressing on the power bottom quickly before the screen appears. Also, I unplugged the power cord.
---------- After a few hours later ----------
8. Okay, I then plugged the power cord in and booted it up again, this time, it would chime but stuck at the white screen. => No smiley-mac finder face appeared!
9. Rebooted it again, the result was as same as step 8.
10. Another restart, the smiley-mac face finally appeared but still... stuck here and this time, no chime.
11. I then shut the machine forcefully by using the method mentioned above and let the machine rest for about a day with the power cord unplugged.
---------- After resting for a day ----------
12. I booted it up and it would chime, but no screen (the power button was orange, not green). I then forcefully shut down the machine.
13. Waited for about a minute and powered it up. This time, I tried to clear the PRAM, but no chime and gave me a white screen. => No luck! As mentioned, the keyboard's LED signal light wouldn't light on even though the Caps Lock key has been pressed.
*Note: The keyboard has been tested on the other computers and it worked. Also, I tried different USB ports to plug the keyboard in. => The USB ports were all in working condition， as I can know from the last successful start up.
14. Forcefully shut the machine down and tried to enter the Open firmware, no luck. It didn't enter and gave my a white screen.
15. Conclusion:
1) After resting for a while, the iMac would chime.
2) Rebooting too much times would cause the machine not to chime and leaded the screen to become white instead of the smiley-mac finder face.
3) However, rebooted the machine when the screen became white, the smiley-mac finder face would appear again without chime.
By the way, I could hear the hard disk spinning up so that means the hard disk is working.
Can anyone help me solve this problem? Is it related to the firmware update? Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!
Andy

OK, I will try replacing the PRAM battery. Also, the PowerMac G3 and the other iMac 233MHz had the dead batteries. They are still working though... Should I replace them along with the iMac 333MHz? In case of not replacing, will they malfunction in future times? There are some symptoms on this two machines: 1. iMac 233MHz - No chime and no sound when adjusting system volume (the bi sound is not available), but iTunes and other applications can still use the audio device and output the sound via internal speakers; 2. PowerMac G3 450MHz - Will chime but sometimes hard to boot: 1) Chime but no screen; 2) No respond after pressing the power button => the power signal light won't light on. Every time I experienced this, I would open its case, pressing a small button (not quite understand what it does... anyway, just works if system halted.) near the PRAM battery and wait for about a minute, then close the case, and it boots. However, I have to reset "Date & Time"...

Updating Pioneer 111D firmware VIA external USB connection

Hi all
I have a Pioneer 111D that I would like to update it's firmware from 1.16 to 1.29(?) but since
Pioneer doesn't do any firmware programs for Macs I would like to use my new MacBook (intel)
Bootcamp and do the update with a NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter (http://www.newertech.com/products/usb2_adapt.php) but I'm not sure if it can be done via USB or it
has to be an internal connection. Any help with this would be very welcomed!!!!
Thanks!!!!

I don't think usb firmware update will work. you could pull the optical and take it to a small pc shop and have them flash it for you.

I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?

I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?
I didn't see this update come up in "Software Update"
If I was not meant to install this update, would it cause ANY damage at all to my mac ( this is my second as I dropped the first )
If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
The bottom of the page I link to says:
Boot ROM or SMC Version Information: MM51.0077.10
But when I click on "About this Mac" it says:
Boot ROM Version: MM51.0077.B10
SMC Version (system): 1.75f0
What does the additional "B" mean?
My mac mini is the Mid 2011 Model.
I am sorry if I am sounding super paranoid about this, but I don't want to have caused any permanent damage.

Hello,
It's somewhere between almost impossible & impossible to install the wrong EFI Update with all the checks it does!
Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Intel graphics
Macmini5,1
MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Radeon graphics
Macmini5,2
MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
Mac mini Server (Mid 2011)
Macmini5,3
MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
Not sure what the B means.
If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
No, Firmware is unaffected by any OS change or re-install.

What is defference between updating Firmware via P...

I'm N85 user and I want to know What is defference between updating Firmware via PC an Via Device manager on phone?

Firmware updates are usually released via one method or the other, rarely via both.
The NSU method downloads entire ROM images from Nokia's servers, resulting in downloads of more than 100MB in some cases.
The FOTA method only downloads what has changed from the version running on your phone to the latest version available. This means much less data to download, usually around 4-6 megabytes, which is important if you don't have access to a wireless network and have to use your operator's packet data service.
The FOTA method is safer (because it doesn't involve a computer running a notoriously flaky operating system) and faster (because there's less data to download).
Otherwise, the end result is the same.

SSD's which are OK for updating firmware on a Mac?

I'm looking at a couple SSD's for a MacPro, any thoughts on which are OK with updating firmware on a Mac? Probably better to ask now before I need to..
Crucial M500 or Samsung 840 Pro? I'm assuming that OWC's offerings are probably the best for Mac compatiblity, any others?
thanks in advance.

Firstly there is a near identical question about setup of just days ago that hopefully you found and looked at in your research.
System on SSD / scratch for CS6 / projects
Lloyd's blog is full of tips: http://www.macperformanceguide.com
Start with what SSD (single) then get into multiple and setup and apps and how they are used, which really might be first thing to ask?
The Pro uses highest quality but both have much of the same controller and firmware - and it was just reviewed as to what the diference is. Find and read that.
Rick over on MacGurus setup an old working model for PS: a scratch disk + working project files is the fastest - was done with SCSI and then the first 10K SATA Raptor. Probably still holds true.
No you are not limited - I strongly suggest you set it up on Sonnet Tempo Pro RAID card and then use one 250GB 840 to start with, then add 2nd. Use one of the PCIe slots for your SSD(s). Maybe start with a 500GB.
Maybe use JBOD to combine two but not in RAID0.
The system can go on SATA II drive bay or optical bay.
Is there a one size fits all or to say this is the only way? of course not, you can though test and try and work with your budget, your Mac and move SSD to where it does the most good.
Samsung starts mass producing PCIe SSDs with 1400MB/s read speeds
When the new MacBook Air got the teardown treatment... a new SSD.
The new drive is known as the XP941 and Samsung will offer it in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB configurations. It achieves read speeds of 1,400MB/s, which clocks it at 2.5x faster than a SATA SSD. It also only weighs 6 grams and measures 80 x 22mm. Samsung claims it only takes up a 7th of the space occupied by a typical 2.5-inch SSD.

Samsung currently offers very interesting solid state drives. Some boast outstanding performance, others – are built with inexpensive TLC NAND and come with a very appealing price tag. And our tests prove all of this: we are ready to discuss what we saw when we got our hands on a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB and Samsung 840 250 GB drives.
From last September, StorageReview article 840 vs 840 Pro - they were my favorite review site for storage for years.

X-bitlabs is also one of my popular stops and they look at Sandisk

I am sold on Samsung though and feel the 840 will do fine for me, but I would use $$ to get Sonnet Tempo SSD or Pro from OWC.

[Mac] Caution on Updating Epson drivers via Software Update- 3800

I ran the Apple supplied updater for Epson drivers, and my 3800 dialog slipped backwards; this on my G5 desktop. The cure was easy enough: ran the Uninstaller that exists in the Beta 3800 driver, and reinstalled.
One of the more disturbing "features" is that the Summary will tell you you're printing in either 360 x360 'DPI', or 720 x 720 'DPI', even when you're printing at high levels, say 1440 or 2800 DPI.
Even if it's trying to tell you it's receiving data at 360 PPI, it's usually not the case. Kinda makes me feel uncomfortable using this "update".

You should be able to get any updates from Apple via the Support/Downloads on the main Apple.com page. Any peripheral drivers that Apple has not updated would need to be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site.
