Cant update, Corrupted Firmware

ive tried everything, different USB ports, different PCs, even downloaded the firmware from somewhere else, still doesnt work, just gives me the firmware is corrupted error.

- Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall
- Try when the computer is connected to a different network
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

some1 hlp me plz

I have the same issue, I think it may be something to do with your opperator. If your Tel.co. does not have an updated version of the firmware for their devices, you wont get an update.

That's because the hardware in the 1st gen iPod is not capable of running a newer OS. That is the way it will always be.

Cant update iphone5 6.0.1 to ios7

hi. im from philippines and i have iphone 5 model A1429 with firmware version 6.0.1
i cant update my firmware to ios7. i tried it several times but unfortunately, i always get this kind of message
the iphone "GUAPO" could not be updated. an unknown error occured (3194)
i tried it manually using shift+update but still. please help! thanks!

I just did a quick Google search on the error message you are getting. It seems as though all reports I saw on it were happening to people who had jailbroken their iPhones, and they had to use some other hacks to get around the error. Since jailbroken iPhones are not allowed to be discussed here, you probably won't find too many answers on this forum.

Update drama - corrupt firmware

Hi guys,
so after my second trip in as many updates I finally had a genius at the genius bar give me some insight into what may be wrong and why my phone goes into recovery mode everytime I try and update it from my PC.
I may have corrupt firmware in the software updates folder, which is a relief because I don't know enough about computers to diagnose and repair the problem myself. The lovely lady (Bec @ perth city apple store) emailed me a link to find the folder and remove it, negating the corrupt firmware issue and fixing my problem.
Not so fast, says windows PC.
After following the directions on the link on where to find the folder (Windows 7) I discover that the folder is NOT THERE. It doesn't exist. Even after making sure "show hidden files + folders" is checked, still not there.
Which brings me to my problem, how am I to remove the corrupt files if they don't exist? below is the link she emailed me. (I was told that it is an OLD link and it's for iPod, however she said replace iPod with iPhone and essentially the same thing) http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1813?viewlocale=en_US
Cheers in advance,
Cmad
UPDATE: Found he folders, the link was accurate I was looking in the wrong place...my bad. Hope this helps anyone else with this problem!

That data sheet was likely created before Windows 8 even existed, and they didn't bother to verify Windows 8 compatibility during any of the following revisions, since it seems to be a fairly old and relatively unused piece of hardware. The way that Windows 8 works, it is compatible with any Windows 7 driver aside from any that are written to explicitly disallow compatibility with future versions of Windows. The absence of "Windows 8" on the list doesn't mean that it isn't actually compatible.
I was able to get it working by uninstalling DAQmx 14.5 and installing DAQmx 9.9 in its place, but this is not an acceptable workaround for many. I would like to know why NI saw a reason to remove the firmware update from its website, and what they expect us to do about it now, aside from using a deprecated version of its software.

Cant update to 5.0 says firmware is not compatible. How do I get it to work

I am trying to update my software to 5.1 and it says it cant because my firmware is incompatible. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

If you have a 3G, iOS 5 is definitely not compatible. The latest version of iOS the 3G can run is 4.2.1

Cant Update Firmware - Computer Won't Recognize Classic

I recently installed a 1GB RAM card into my Powerbook g4, and instead of recognizing all my subsequent RAM after installation (1.25 GB) my computer would just recognize 756 MB, or something like that. So after reading discussions, I thought I should update the firmware to fix the problem. Well the firmware update didn't take hold because my mac didn't have classic installed. so I re-installed Classic from my Mac OSX software restore CDS, and in System Profiler it recognizes that OS9.2.2 is now installed. However, when I run the firmware update, it still says "Firmware will not run from OSX. restart from a startup disk with OS9 installed", yet it is. My startup disk is set to my hard drive with OS9 installed on it. So I don't understand what's going wrong. And now my computer is randomly crashing with the dimmed background screen and the error message "You Need to Restart Your Computer". also, my Apple menu option won't even open when clicked - the little menu on the left hand side of the Finder menu bar that lists "About this mac" .. etc.
I've also ran the disk utility and tried to repair and verify the disk, but it says that "Macintosh HD cannot be mounted" or something, and I click on "unmount" and nothing happens.
I would appreciate any insight anyone can offer. I have checked a lot of previous discussion posts but every suggested solution I've tried hasn't worked.

Hi, ashAleyP -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Re the firmware update -
In order to run the firmware updater, the machine must be booted to OS 9 - it will not run in Classic while the machine is still booted to OSX. To boot the machine to OS 9, open the Startup Disk control pane (Apple Menu > System Preferences > Startup Disk) and select OS 9 as the boot OS.
It is a good idea to print out the instructions before performing the update.
Note - if your G4 PowerBook is not OS 9 bootable, there is no firmware update for it.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
Re the RAM issue -
If I understand correctly, you have one (new) 1.0GB RAM module and one (old) 256MB module, and the machine is recognizing only half of the new module (512MB + 256MB = 768MB net).
This can be caused by more than one thing -
• If your G4 PowerBook is OS 9 bootable, it can not use a 1.0GB RAM module. The largest it can use is 512MB, and the max it can address is 1.0GB. If this is the case, you will need to replace the 1.0GB module with a 512MB module of correct specs.
• If your G4 PB is new enough that it can use a 1.0GB module, the module you received probably does not meet specs for that machine. RAM must meet the specific requirements for each Apple model.

It would help us help you better if you would identify the specific model of your machine. This Apple KBase article can help you do that -

In order to use Disk Utility to repair the drive, you will need to have the machine booted to the OSX Install disk. When the machine is booted to an OS on the hard drive, that drive is in use - and can not be repaired (nor dismounted).

Cant update firmware on SRP 527w?

I'm trying to update the firmware on my SRP 527W, but there is nowhere in the GUI to do this. According to the admin guide, I'm supposed to be able to go to Administration --> Firmware Upgrade to do this. Only thing I have under administration is Time Setup and Switch Setting.
How am I supposed to upgrade this thing?
This is the guide I've been using from your site. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/srp520_series/srp521w/administration/srp500_admin.pdf

Yep, that was the issue. Didn't know there was an admin user too. Guess I needed to start at the first page of the guide instead
of going to the backup/upgrade part of it. Figured that out and came here to delete my thread, but couldn't b/c you already replied. You guys are fast!
Thanks.

Corrupt Firmware - even after following directions.

I recently updated to itunes 7.0.1.8. It tells me there is a firmware update available. I download and install but get the "corrupt firmware" error message. I've followed the insturctions in Article ID: 304309 multiple times. I've uninstalled itunes and quicktime and deleted any traces of ipod and itunes software from the harddrive and registry. I've reset, rebooted and reinstalled and still get the same error. Is this just a bad file coming down from the server, or do I still have problems?
On a slightly different note. When I login to be able to get 1 on 1 chat, my only product option is a ipod shuffle or imac. I own neither. Because my serial number isn't matched with one of these products I can't chat with support. Been considering buying the 24" imac, but if this is typical tech support I may have to reconsider.
Thanks for your help.

Cant Update other Country mobile

i bought lumia 900 from US. i have downloaded the Bluetooth Share from Market Place. while opening that its showing the ERROR message to update higher version.now i m in INDIA i contact Nokia care and customer care thay telling if we update the S / W version version the phone will LOCK and cant use.
i need the solution to update the s/w version in INDIA

Updating the phone to the latest software version available for it will not lock it. I can't think why Nokia care would want to tell you that it will other than maybe being ill-informed.
If the phone was originally SIM-locked but has been unlocked prior to handing it over to you, there is no reason why it should become SIM-locked again. Once unlocked, a phone remains unlocked, even when updating its firmware.
