Corrupt Firmware on wrt300n

I had a power disruption when loading firmware and now I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 even after a reset.
Is there any way of hard resetting the flash on this appliance? I've found the instructions for the wrt54g on openwrt website but this one looks totally different. Is there a way to jump the flash on the wrt300n?

first off , check whether you get an ip add off the router .. if getting a valid ip add , try pinging the router ( 192.168.1.1 ) .. if able to ping the router... connect the computer to the modem and go to www.linksys.com/download and download the latest firmware for the router ... then go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network . download the tftp.exe file .. open the file..here , the server is router's ip add , password is router's password , browse the firmware file and click upgrade ..
after the upgrade, reset and reconfigure the router ..

I have WRT300N V1.0 with Firmware v1.03.6.

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.

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.

Resotring iPod Nano - corrupt firmware

Another example of the symptoms, from Feb 2010 - though in this case the devices work on XP but not on Vista (the reverse of my problem). Perhaps something to do with FAT formatting? Any ideas?
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-hardware/plug-in- ipod-and-vista-says-must-format-itunes/74fd7195-b017-4816-a593-19b613c6d1b5
The Ipods all work great on XP on multiple different computers. When Iplug any into the new Inspiron powerhouse with Vista Ultimate 64, I geta microsoft box that says I have to format the drive to use it. Secondly Itunes pops up and says the device is corrupt and needsrepair. When I repair it, it shows a successful repair in Itunes butonce the computer gets to detecting the now repaired Ipod, the cyclestarts over and windows says it must be formatted and itunes says it'scorrupt again.
My flash drives also required formatting going from XP to Vista andI found they were FAT32 which Vista doesn't like. NTFS seems to workon all my computers, XP, Mac, and Vista. I've formatted a couple flashdrives to NTFS so they work on Vista. I tried formatting the Ipod toNTFS and it was successful. Vista allowed it as a flash drive, butItunes detected it as in the process of repair. So I repaired itagain, and again it finished successfully. But after it was done, andwindows re-detected it, Bam, start at square one with Vista requiringformatting and then Itunes saying corrupt."
The 'itunes thinks my ipod is corrupted (and can't restore it), but it's clearly not' problem seems to be one encountered by lots of people over several [Windows] OSs, different versions of itunes and different devices. Has anybody encountered a fix?

Intermittent screen freeze!! Corrupt Firmware?

A week ago my G4 iBook, running 10.4.3, woke from sleep with the screensaver screen on but no reaction from mouse button, touchpad or keyboard buttons. I shut down and attempted reboot but only got to blue screen (before OSX loading screen and progress bar). My local Apple dealer checked it and reckoned that it was definitely not a hardware problem. They presumed that the system was corrupted and recommended I reboot with the install DVD (archive & replace). I did this and then reupdated to 10.4.3 and found that if I let it sleep, it would wake with either the desktop or screensaver but no action from any input buttons. Shutting down and rebooting gave me the same, aforementioned blue screen situation. I tried another reinstall and updated to 10.4.2 as this had not given any previous problem. But.... got the same problem! I reinstalled 10.4 (erase and install) and got the same problem. I have run Disk Utility and hardware diagnostics but get a clean bill of health. Before my last reinstall, I zero'd the hard drive and have only installed 10.4 from the DVD. I have not introduced any other documents, applications or received any emails (I thought it may be a virus - I don't have protection). It worked fine on the initial welcome and set-up wizard and let me even use the web, but I let it fall asleep with the screen saver on and then got exactly the same response as my original problem. Sometimes it will boot up – but eventually the screen freezes (trackpad still moves pointer though!) and I have to shut down. Sometimes it boots up till the gray apple/gear wheel screen disappears then stops at a paler blue screen (seems a bit paler than the background of the OS loading screen with the progress bar). I'm wondering: If it is not the hardware, and it is not the system software, could it be the Firmware? I know it is sometimes necessary to update the Firmware on certain machines. Can the Firmware become corrupted? Can I check or verify the Firmware? Can I reinstall the Firmware? Hope you guys can help because I am running out of ideas!

Hi straightshooter,
Welcome to the Discussions.
It sounds like hardware to me. When mine acted that way it was the logic board that was bad. You should call Apple, (not the local reseller), to get it taken care of.

X4240 corrupt firmware

Bought one of these, just for home use/practice, went to upgrade fw and failed, so I am reading the docs re: corrupt fw reinstall - have USB stick, the latest .bin fw release and the DOS loader tools, all on USB, USB inserted in internal slot, but I'm having an issue booting it, the oracle docs aren't clear re: jumper cap, allegedly nr the AST chip, but the graphic for the jumper location points toward what seems to me to be a cable connector, that must an error but I can't figure out what jumper is meant.
I tried a few, system boots but USB doesn't, bios has USB and DVD in brackets, indication will not be used fit boot, and exiting bios just leaves a blinking cursor...
Any ideas?
Steve

Hello ,
a) Check to confirm that the USB is enabled in BIOS ( Advanced -> USB config ) Also Confirm if the USB drive is detected under the Boot disks . If the drive is not seen , it wont boot.
b) Confirm that the USB stick is bootable.
c) Confirm that the following files mentioned in the Link are present - ( 4140 and 4240 uses the same system boards )

d) Perform a Cold Power Cycle of the system ( remove power chords , wait for 2 mins and insert back)
e) boot to see if the recovery works.
or
f) try an alternate method using the u-boot recovery
refer to - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19121-01/sf.x4140/820-2396-18/spissues2.html#50446373_77408
not sure if this will work in this case, but worth trying .

Thanks
Abdullah

Hi @Ayoubi,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP can't be recovered at all that it is stuck in Firmware corrupt ready to download. I am sorry to hear this but happy to help!
Please try a hard reset, to do so, please see this post, How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
Afterwards, try the firmware update again. If the issue is still not resolved, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
Hope this helps!

Error in Apple Configurator - Unable to Download iOS 7.1.2. The firmware image was corrupted.

The initial update of some iPads failed while preparing them in Apple Configurator. Now this message, Unable to Download iOS 7.1.2. The firmware image was corrupted, appears every time I try to prepare using the Configurator. Can the corrupted firmware image be deleted or is there away around the error?

It should be located here:

Try deleting the ipsw from here and re-download it.

Upgrading WRT300N Firmware

OK, stupid question. My router (wrt300n) firware version is v0.93.9. This version is not listed in the tab for current firmware. Which firmware version should I dowmload. Secondly, do you have to upgrade to each new version, or go to the latest release available? Thanks!!!

0.93.9 is an old Firmware, this firmware belongs to WRT300N v1 router...
Download Firmware 3.00 MB, Ver.1.03.6 for WRT300N v1...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
NOTE : Always download the firmware for WRT300N v1(not v1.1 or v2)...You don't have to upgrade to the new version, version cannot be changed it remains the same...

Waiting for boot protocol message...[there is some interraction with the RSC, the menu was displayed and I have tried some functions.]
I've been googling and I have found that it is possible to download firmware image to the RSC, so the next step was to do it:
./rscadm download usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/images/rscfw
rscadm: RSC did not respond during boot initializationThe download subcommand for rscadm has oprion "boot" but i couldn't find anywhere proper image :(. So If You know when it can be found I will be thankfull.
Maybe You have some other ideas how to fix it?
Regards and thanx in advance
toostrow

The error looks like corrupted firmware.
Its similar to what happened when in a moment of insanity I downloaded ALOM boot firmware into an RSC using the command /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490/rsc/rscadm
# rscadm download boot alombootfw # DONT DO THIS IT KILLS THE RSC
Its not supposed to work
Looks like it was reported to sun as a bug ...
Bug ID: 4924833Synopsis: On-line help lists boot as an option to "rscadm download"
Of course if you follow the README instructions you will not be copying ALOM firmware onto an RSC based system. They are similar hardware but not firmware compatible.
The serial output on powering up the system with the (now corrupted) rsc now looks like this and it doesn't work without replacing the RSC card.

IPOD Color- Corrupted- restored- black/white menu+not working (WinXP)

I got an iPOD Color Display last year, few days ago, it started going nuts. Windows were not recognizing etc.
After the restart-reboot-restore it has a Black/White GUI and still windows can not recognize it. Windows say that it is a generic USB hard drivem iTunes say that it needs to be restored (and after every restoration, it needs to be restored again, and it is not working anymore, even if it is alive).
iPOD's screen shows the exclamation mark over an envelope.
HELP!!!
Is there any advance utility, which for example, could make iPOD an image of a filesystem, in order to everything be overwritten (factory settings)

Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html
2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote
