Compability with OSX for firmware updates?

Considering a new phone, and keeping the firmware-update from Asha to Belle in mind, will it be (or is it) possible to install new windows phone firmware on your phone from OSX?
I don't have a Windows OS in the house, and would like to keep it that way on pc-level. But with the news of today I wonder if I should stick to Nokia. (I still like the Symbian)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Windows Phone OS and firmware updates are always OTA by either mobile data or WiFi.
Getting apps to the phone is done through the webinterface for the store followed by sending the app by either mobile data or WiFi

Lync Phone Edition and wpad.dat - using proxy for firmware updates

Our Lync Phone Edition devices seem determined to use our proxy server for firmware updates, even though the server is directly accessible.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround?
The phones are learning of the wpad.dat file via DHCP 252. The wpad file has several rules that should be causing a bypass but none is taking effect. The proxy is dropping the traffic because it doesn't match a rule.

I do not have those options set in DHCP because we do not use these as PIN-authenticated phones. The phone is registering fine and is learning the correct URL:

Are you saying that the phone will bypass the proxy if it learns the server name via DHCP but it will use the proxy (and ignore the local names list in wpad.dat) if it learns the name via DNS-based discovery and SIP registration?

Timescale for firmware updates Lumia 520 ?

Can anyone explain why there is such a varience in which the same update gets released either from a phone supplier or Nokia.
For example I am with O2 in the UK. I asked about the Amber upgrade and the replies varied from "what is that I've never heard of it" to " We are not imformed of release dates so do not know" to a straight "no idea". to " keep checking in settings-phone-update"
AT & T have been selling the Lumia 520 for some time and their version has Windows Phone 8 build 10327 (GDR2) and Nokia’s Amber firmware update already on board.
I can not see Amber for example being different in USA and UK or Swaziland for the same phone.
So why such a delay
A very impatient

Go to Solution.

There is a difference between a sim,free (factory unlocked/unbranded) device and a carrier released version.
your challenge with updates when you have a carrier branded device is that the carrier usually has very few updates to devices. And, their firmware versions are different, which include bloatware.
it is either software they are paid to put in devices, or their own renditions of billing, WiFi calling, mapping, etc stuff. So, before they do any updates of firmware and push it out, they have to do their own version of QC whereas factory unlocked devices get updates when ever the phone manufacturer releases them, which is usually more often.
even,if you get your device unlocked, it will still require that the carrier push the update. So the care reps are usually going to very uninformed unless they truly are involved in the tech side and have genuine interest to learn more. From a corporate perspective, they usually are scripted and clueless, which for the companies sake helps them not to create anymore confusion with the customer base then already is there.
as for the varients of,different countries, good to think about the regulations each country has, as well as some of the functionality of the device. Some countries don't have 3 or 4g service, or MMS is different, or there are frequency differences or regulations on what can be done. This goes far more deeper than just having the language available.
hope that helps

Pismo w/panther needs to create bootable OS9 partition for firmware update

Hi guys -
I have the original software install and software restore cds that came with my pismo, and I'm sure there must be a way to install OS9 onto a partition on my pismo from there without erasing any of the data or OSX10.3 on the other partition. Years ago when the original hard drive died, I simply bought and installed Panther and didn't install os9 anywhere.
Now I've picked up a MBP and am unable to complete the Migration Assistant data transfer from the pismo to the mbp using FW (it recognizes the info on the pismo, but stalls during transfer at 8.1 hours to go!) because (it seems) I never installed the 4.1.8 firmware update on the pismo when the update came out. The update requires a boot from a local Mac OS 9.1 writeable partition.
So, essentially, I'm looking to install os9 off of one of the original powerbook install/restore cds onto an empty partition I've prepared on the pismo so I can update the firmware and then complete the migration to the mbp.
1. Is there a way to check the pismo's current firmware (in case I've already installed it years ago and forgot?)
2. Is there a simpler way to get OS9 onto the pismo?
3. Is there a simpler way to migrate my data to the MBP? (Other than pick up a 2.5" FW enclosure, remove the hd from the pismo and do it from there?)
4. If no, to the above questions, How do I do this?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Tom -
Thanks for replying so quickly, and the tip on how to find the current firmware info !
I just checked and my pismo is also running Boot ROM Version: 3.2.4f1
However, my concern isn't how well or whether it can run Tiger - it's the machine's ability to run in Firewire Target Disk Mode. And the update in question is intended to address the pismo's shortcomings there (it's mentioned in the ReadMe file that comes with the update). It's in the apple document for troubleshooting Migration Assistant that I discovered the existence of this update. The process for me freezes...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773
Nice to hear that Tiger runs well on the pismo though, I'll bear it in mind for the future.
Here's what I've done since posting my initial question:
I inserted the Software Restore CD and copied over all the files from it onto my partition. System Preferences<Startup Disk recognized an OS9 system file on the partition, and I selected it as my startup disk. Unfortunately, on restart I got the question mark flashing over the folder, and the pismo booted up from the Software Restore CD still in the drive. The CD did not identify my HD as viable to be restored to, something like there was nothing to restore and I must install software instead.
I am very wary of doing an install because I doubt the partition will be detected and of course the Install CD will erase the contents of my hard drive during the install. I'm tempted to pick up a cheap hd and install OS9 on that for the update, but there must be a way to get it onto the partition without wiping everything out!
Any additional help would be appreciated!
Best

Disk Image for Firmware Update Utility for LaserJet p2055dn is corrupted

Yep. Not sure what happened with that one. I have submitted the issue to the software team. Hopefully I can get a copy that works out to you soon. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Update to my previous post: HP confirms that their Firmware Update Utility is broken, but there is another way to update the firmware on a LaserJet P2055dn using a Mac running OS X, and here it is. HP tech support walked me through this procedure and it worked for me: Getting the printer ready: ensure that the LaserJet P2055dn is connected to your computer and make it the default printer. In System Preferences / Printers and Scanners, find your HP LaserJet P2055dn, select it, Click “Open Print Queue” and on the Printer menu, choose “Make Default.” On that same menu, choose “Print Test Page” and verify that the page prints.Using your Web browser, go to the following page on the HP website and click the “Download” button. Don’t worry that the page says it’s for Windows Vista. The file you’re about to download is for your HP LaserJet printer and doesn’t care what kind of computer you use to install it. Here’s the link:
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ja-143142-1#tab1
When it finishes downloading, go to your downloads folder and find the file HP_LaserJet_P2055dn_20141201_build155964.rfu
(note: you'll probably get a “Preparing for HP separation” message;. Just click OK)In your Applications/Utilities folder, find Terminal, and open it. In the Terminal window, type lp (space) but don’t press “return” yet. Drag and drop the above file from your finder window into the Terminal window. Then press “return”Watch the LCD display on your printer. It should go through several steps, beginning with “erasing” and finally saying “ready.”Go back to the printer’s “Print Queue” window and print another test page. If the test page prints properly, congratulations. You've done it!

Searching for firmware update for Lucent Tech (Silver to Gold)

I have a Lucent Tech. Silver PCMCIA card (PC24E-H-FC) that i picked up because it has the port for an external antenna so i can use it in the garage for storing and looking up manuals. I understand that it is possible through firmware update to switch it to a gold card for slightly higher WEP encryption level.
Does anyone know where to get that firmware update? I realize that it probably has to be done on a PC.
Everywhere i search leads me to the Proxim website where you have to open a service ticket to get to their downloads section.
Am using it with a Wallstreet II 300/192Mb.
Is the silver to gold possible or is it unatainable alchemy?
Any links would be appreciated, thank you.

Problems with waking after firmware update ...

Hi ya'll - quick question.
Did the latest firmware update last night and have noticed that waking the computer from sleep has become a problem, maybe once every three times I try to wake it? The backlight visibly turns on and illuminates the black screen, but the password box dosen't ever pop up, leaving me with a plain cursor. I'll try to hit random buttons (not that I think it'll help, but you know) and the 'Funk' sound plays, so I know the computer is working and is on. I have to hold the power button and restart it everytime. Any reason this might be happening now, after the update? It used to every now and then, and had sllooow wake times before the update, the latter of which has been fixed. The update was performed right and completed itself, etc.
Thanks for any help!

i also have problems waking it up since the efi firmware update! i primarily use the macbook only with an exernal display and wake it up by plugging in the power, lan, display and usb connectors, i.e. quite often, i don't even open the lid. since the firmware update, i regularly get a light blue screen and nothing happens. i then have to restart it through the power button as well.

Frozen User with OSX 10.4 Update

The beachball is me.
I just bought a retail copy of OSX 10.4 but am afraid to install it.
I've had my IMac for a year now and haven't bonded. I'm comfortable mucking around Windows, but my Mac and I still haven't come to terms with each other. This leave me still at the beginners stage (to help you target your answer... think "still a newbie after a painful switch"
I read an article from Take Control of Tiger OSX as well as a couple others and a number of posts on the Mac Forums. Seems like there are alot of potential problems.
My situation: I have an IMAC with osx 10.3.9
1 gig ram
Installed a bit of third party software from Macromedia and Adobe, Open Office but nothing major. Most of the files I have created are Pictures. I use Thunderbird, not Mail. Hate IPhoto, so don't care if my settings are saved there. I think the movie I created is already off on an external. Never use IMUSIC for more than radio. I didn't do much tweaking.
Not sure if I should take the simple upgrade route, the Archive route or the erase and fresh install route.
I bought 10.4. Can I update to later versions of Tiger? If so which are the safest? It seems like some versions have problems with Firewire and bluetooth.
I would so much appreciate HONEST advice. I don't need anyone to sell me the virtues of Macs. I have one and that is that. I just want honest advice. I will even accept the advice that I shouldn't upgrade. (My reason for upgrading is to be able to try out the beta of Adobe Lightroom to try out. I am frustrated that it is only available for OS X 10.4, but I really want to try it out)
Is OSX 10.5 coming out soon? If so should I wait?
Thank you

mythak,
First of all, make sure that you have properly backed up your files. A bootable backup will allow you to return to your present configuration if you are not satisfied with your experiment.
I have personally used and can endorse an Archive and Install, because: This option leaves non-Apple-installed (third-party) items intact, though they may be moved, depending on their location. Usually it's best to reinstall third-party software after an Archive and Install installation to ensure they work correctly. (I have not had to reinstall third-party software)
General advice on performing an Archive and Install by Dr. Smoke, explains it best.
After installation, you should download and install the Mac OS X Update 10.4.5 Combo for the most up-to-date version.

Whats with these huge firmware updates???

So i figured i'd only need 8 gb of space on a iphone so i bought a 8gb, but of course you dont actually get 8 gb you get about 7.2 after the OS and apps that are preinstalled. Then these 250 mb firmware updates come along and now 2 make it 500 mb and were not even on 2.1 yet and i;m thinking gezz when 2.1 comes along i'm gonna only have about 6.8 or 6.5 gb left to use.
Has apple thought maybe we should think about how large these updates really need to be so people can actually enjoy the space left on for media and what not?????
Anyone wanna contribute to this tread???

thanks for clearing that up for me, i wasn't sure if it added or replaced it so that makes much more sense to me now.
Would a 2.1 update though add to the exsisting update or does it do the same thing as a firmware up date and replace the existing one???
as far as i've been told 2.0.? are firmware and 2.? are software update, so does this mean more space added.....
....oh and yes i wish i had bought a 16g but at the time the 16 were really hard to get your hands on and a 8g was available without standing in a long line up.
I'm only hoping in 2 years apple will have 80g iPhones that would be awesome!!!!!

Looking for firmware update instead replacing hardware!

I have bought lenovo g500 laptop and windows 7 x64 installation cd but unfortunately I encountered problems with internet worm attack obviously because I didn't install any software except necessary drivers,internet browsers etc.My PC is acting with delay on opening programs,I even can't complete system restore.I did two reinstalls of OS but the PC works well only with install interface and all is like that untill I connect internet.So I think there is a downloader-program inserted into some hardware chip firmware.Is there any chance a skilled member on the forum can help me.

It sounds like you got hit by a root kit. This will take some effort to fix, but there is a few things to try. First thing to do is reset the BIOS by removing AC power and Battery, then press and hold the power key for 30 seconds. Replace battery then AC adapter.
Once BIOS defaut process completes:
Download and run Malwarebytes Anti Rootkit Link to download page (english)
Unpack to desktop, run program.
When the scan completes, quarentine all malware found, then let it reboot the computer.
Repeate as needed until clean blil of health.
Once completed, slect tools and run Fix Damage app.
Once this has completed, download and install AVAST Free, register (no cost) and pull in latest updates. Download and run CCleaner as well. Also handy to have on hand is Malwarebytes Free, an ondemand Malware scan and removal tool - think penecillin shot.
Good luck.

2 problems i have with my N82 (Firmware Update, As...

I have one N82 mobile and i was not able to update its firmware. Everytime i try to update (with Nokia Software Updater v1.4.23en) from version 10.0.046 to 11.0.117 is telling me "Updating Software Fail". It regognizes my mobile and it has downloaded the update from nokia server, but everytime i have tryed to update it fails and it is asking me to retry. I have checked the FAQs and i am sure that i have a valid SIM card inserted, Power/Internet connection is not lost during update, i have removed and inserted again a fully charged battery, and the Device is in Normal profile. Can anyone help me please?
Another problem i have is that i couldn't find where to go if i want to assign an mp3 as a ringing tone for a specific person. When i go to "Contacts>i select a contact>Ringing Tone" it gives me only 2 options. "Download Sounds" & "Default tone". Wasn't suppose to be another option for assigning your own songs?
Thanks for any possible help you can give me!

Hi 123musicv
I had similar problems with NSU v1.4.23en which in my situation was only resolved by un-installing all Nokia applications, cleaning up the registry and re-installing NSU.
Incidentally you can install NSU without PC Suite being present and in this case PC Connectivity Solutions is downloaded at the same time.

AirPort Utility rejecting my AirPort Express password for firmware update

I'm trying to update the firmware on my 1st generation Airport express. When I try to upate it it pop's up and asks for the password, it kept rejecting what I was entering, so confused I did a hard reset on the airport and set it up with a new password. I then went to try update the firmware again with the new password I just created and it's rejecting it again?? Very confused..
Infact it does seem a little bit different this time after resetting it - when you click update firmware it says 'reading wireless Apple device' and pop's up with a password prompt (same as before), I enter the password and the status bar loads a little bit and then the password prompt re appears. You can repeat this process over and over and it eventually gets to the end of the status bar, but then the bar just starts again from zero.
Any insight here appreciated!
Running Windows 7 and an iPhone 5

Okay so I installed airport utility on my iPhone but I still seem to be having no luck. When you click into the aiport there is an option to click which says enter the password for this device to see more options. I tap it and enter the password, but then nothing seems to happen at all and the botton is still there to enter the password.
I've tried to do it again this time plugged directly into my modem via ethernet cable as well - still no joy.
Ideas?

Can no longer use Transfer to SD card with the new firmware update 23.0.1.A.3.12

@Thommo. Oh hi, no. This is just a theme I installed to change the buttons recently. The problem was there before I did this change. As proof, here it is again after removing the theme and applying the default theme of Xperia.
Regarding the SD card write capability permissions, I do not know how to do that really. Can you please show me?
Also, all I did this morning was update the firmware my Z2 based on the email I got from Sony Support and an alert from the Update Centre. I used the PC companion which also alerted to be updated before the download of the firmware began, which I did too. After the successful update, the phone restarted and used it normally.
Then until the notif told me that my storage is more than 75% full, and prompted to transfer files, which I do all the time by the way, but this time, this error occured.
