Cisco Router tried to take a firmware update and no longer works

Ok so internet was working fine until Cisco Connect told me to take an update. My connection is wired and there were no disruptions during the download. Yet the download still failed and now my power light blinks continuously and there is no internet access. I tried instructions on "How to unbrick your Cisco Router", even got them to work, it took the firmware update from the cmd line. Still doesnt work though. What's wrong with this thing and how do i fix it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I ended up downloading a firmware utility program and was able to get it to reload. The power light became solid somewhere between 2-5 mins, however still didnt connect to the internet. Found that all this factory resetting will change your Internet access name & password, with no way to find out the new one. You have to remove the Cisco Connect program from your computer and reload it from the original disk. Only then will you be up and running again. While I appreciate the response Helm, I was way beyond a 30 second reset button solution when I posted this lol.

10.4.6/firmware update and sync not working? No, .mac is down

I went to sync .mac this morning, and I guess it was the first time since installing the firmware update and 10.4.6. It first said another computer with the same name was registered, then hung. Next time it said it was not registered and proceeded to sync very slowly then exit with errors. After a reboot there was still trouble. Then I thought to check and found on .mac that the sync service was down since yesterday, and remains down.
Funny how I thought my system was acting crazy when it was the .mac system itself that's experiencing problems.

I got my bookmarks to sync this morning, but nothing else would.

I tried to run the firmware update and then my mac stopped working.. How can I fix this?

We have two brand new mini macs at our office that we are tyring to install updates on. One worked no problem, and we attempted to do the same thing on the second and there are issues. After I attempted to update the firmware my mini mac appears to still be running, light is on and it sounds like it is running, but nothing is starting up. How can I fix this?
Thank-you,

Try (but I do not expect anything)
Press Option during startup
Start up in Startup Manager, where you can select an OS X volume or network volume to start from.
Next try:
Press Command-R during startup
Start from the OS X Recovery System1
and if successful use the Disk Utility to repair the boot disk

Firmware update and very long start-up

Hi,
I had a firmware update recently and I think that having MB21.00A5.B07 makes my MacBook start-up very long. It takes lot of time before I can see something more then a grey screen.
Am I the only one to experience long start-ups?
Do you have any idea how to solve the problem?

Hi Jovik,
not sure if it helps, but worth trying out:
Open System Preferences - Startup Volume and choos your internal OSX Volume as startup.
Do the needed restart.
Good Luck

Just installed iMac firmware update - iphoto no longer works (beach ball)

I just installed the most recent iMac and keyboard firmware updates. Now when i try to use iphoto it opens quickly and then as soon as i try to do anything i get the spinning beach ball until i force quit. I have no idea how to fix this. I have rebooted and the same results.
Any ideas?

Well it somehow fixed itself ... now everything works fine ... hopefully it doesn't return.
Thank you.

After firmware update wifi no longer works on ipad mini

wifi worked fine before upgrade to ios6.02
it sees networks but cannot join them? 4G works fine

Or maybe a reboot of the router would help? Even though everytihng else is working, it might solve the problem. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
A reboot of the iPad might be a good idea as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Did You get The Most Recent Firmware Update And Did It Work

Ok There seems to be alot of confusion on hear about the Friday ( 07-08-11) Update that was sent out to fix the Reboot issue with the Phone. Some people like my self have reported that they can not get the Update as there phone is getting an inability to connect to the network error, or the update window simply disappears with out a response (This is what is happening to me).
Many have reported that they got the update it fixed the reboot bug, and that they are seeing improvement in the phones functionality in general. Some people have reported that they have heard that the update is causing more problems. What I have yet to see (And I might have simply missed them) is reports from users that this has actually happened to them. So I started this Thread to see if we can't get a straight answer from the people that are actually using the phone (Because it seems VZW and HTC don't' seem to know or want to tell us right now)
So hear is what Im asking
1) Did you get the Update
2) Did it Fix The Reboot Bug From The Last Update
3) How is the performance of the phone now
4) Has the latest update brought any new problems
Hopefully this clears up any confusion and we can all get a clear idea of weather this update is a worth bothering with.

2) Did it Fix The Reboot Bug From The Last Update Yes
3) How is the performance of the phone now Much better, I no longer have data drops so I no longer need to turn on and off Airplane mode to get data back
4) Has the latest update brought any new problems Zilch, none, nada, nope

I'm trying to download the firmware update for the WRT54G...

I'm trying to download the firmware update for the WRT54G version 6 router but I receive the error message that Internet Explorer is not able to open the internet site. It suggests that it is unavailable or cannot be found. I've tried accessing it numerous times with the same error. Any thoughts on this?

are you online through the router ?? if not , connect the computer directly to the modem and go to www.linksys.com/download to download the latest firmware for the router ..

I tried updating iphone 6 to 8.1.3 But the phone went dead. I have tried using restore options - both update and erase, but the process stops when it tries to update Iphone firmware.

Put your phone in DFU mode,
Hold the Power Button (3 secs)
Continue holding the power button and also hold the home button (15 secs)
Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button (10 secs)
Your device should prompt with the "Connect to iTunes Screen"
Restore.

N73 firmware update failed but still working?

Few days ago I saw new firmware for N73 is out. Downloaded program, stared to update firmware.
After cca. 90% of progress bar I heard same sound you hear every time you plug in/out your phone over USB cable. My heart almost stopped since I heard stories you must not unplug phone during firmware update, that it will not work after that. Suprisingly software offered me to repeat update process!
I clicked OK and it started all over again.
Once again after reaching about 90% progress bar instalation stopped with same un plugg sound. This time there was no repeat update offer. I tryed everything but update din't work.
I plugged USB out of comp and phone and tryed to turn on phone. I wasn't able to turn in on! Then I took out battery, put it back in and turned on phone.
All worked, menu was in english, but I had option to change it back to croatian again. Installed old programs and they all worked. Voice dialing working, camera working... all working.
What the hell happened?
Why installation stopped on 90% and my phone is working without problems on NEW firmware? Bug in Nokia Firmware update software?

I've understood it's quite normal that the update prosedure may seem to stop even for some minutes and then go on again. The connection between the phone and computer will also break and then reconnect couple of times...
Are you sure, you did wait long enough before unplugging your phone (at least some minutes)?
But if your phone has the new firmware now and everything is working fine so I hope there is no problem!

Firmware Update and Windows XP

The Firmware update killed my Windows XP partition. It just hangs when the Windows XP pict is there with the progress bar. It will boot in safe mode tho. Who knows what to do next since I don't know jack about windows, I only use it for games, it's not even hooked up to the net. Any help would be appreciated.
ChuckBlack

Hi chuckblack,
Sorry to hear this and probably won't help (since you seemed to have already tried safe mode) but I could not get into my bootcamp/fusion/xp after update, until I shutdown down and did a new start. Now i'm sending this e-mail from windows. For some reason the fusion menu now shows two disk options, one labelled 0 and labelled 1. last time this happened with firmware update and the 0 eventually disappeared. As you, I only use windows for a few programs and get out of there as quickly as possible. Good luck.

That is very bad.. how old is it??
The Gen4 TC can die this way.. it is not usual but it happens.
Leave it for several hours to cool off. Do a factory reset immediately when you try to restart it.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
Tell me exactly what the LEDs do throughout this process.
Both the main one at the front and the LED on the ethernet ports which should all flash during bootup.
If it is less than a year.. of course Apple will replace under warranty.. 2 years in some places.. Europe .. places with stronger consumer laws. If you have applecare on a computer it should still cover the TC.
I kind of doubt you are going to get this going again... but we can try.
