Firmware upgrade hangs

While installing iOS 5.0.1 the firmware upgrade hung. I waited for over 3 hours and it still was not done. The iPad2 still shows a status bar of about 98%. I am unable to reset it. It is locked up. Any help resolving this is appreciated.
Thanks.

Firmware Upgrade causes severe slowness and Hangs

Has anyone else encountered this problem? I did do the firmware upgrade, and that caused slowness in responsiveness (followed immediately by that spinning wheel). In some cases, it completely hangs. At this time, I also tried to VNC into it, and it wasn't listening. It looks like GUI and network connectivity got hosed. This happens at least 10 times today.
Any suggestions?

spingineer,
I haven't seen the firmware update (done 2x) alone cause the problems that you're mentioning. In fact, I didn't notice a thing after running it. I DID notice issues when I ran all the updates (machine fresh out of the box and then everything at once). You machine shouldn't be any slower. Make sure you have enough free space on your drive.
The obvious, and often underused, diagnostic tool is to create a new user account and see if the issues persist there. If not, then look to what's running in your login items and your applications. You may just need to repair permissions, but sometimes it helps to verify or repair the disk.
As to the network connectivity. I'd say it's basically a given that a lot of minis aren't good citizens.
What I see is contention. It's like the machine thinks 'oh, someone else is using the connection so I'll back off a bit then try again', even if nothing else is on at all. It could be partially hardware, there are changes in the machines; but it might be something that can be solved w/ modifications to the stack. It's almost like a feedback loop. The more you use the connection the more it thinks it is competing w/ other machines for access and the slower it becomes. Try the usual, zap the pram, repair permissions, etc. There's a good link if you use search to a tutorial that may help you w/ some network connectivity issues on the mini. (moving out system configuration, promoting your primary connection to the top, using the assistant, rebooting and zapping the pram).
As easy as it seems to look at the firmware as the source of the problems, I haven't seen that as the foundation issue for either of the difficulties you are experiencing with your machine.
Hopefully a few simple resets and permission repairs etc will remedy the issue.
Good Luck,

Mac mini won't boot after accidental loss of power during firmware upgrade

i accidentally hit the power switch on the wall during an upgrade (might even have been a firmware upgrade, I didn't really look at what was going on). Anyway, now it hangs on the silver Apple logo screen with a spinny wheel on reboot. It's only 3 months old, it's the $599 model.
What to do? I see that you can download firmware restoration disks but they appear to be limited to earlier versions of the Mac mini.

I took it to the Mac store today and they fixed it for free by booting from an external drive and finishing the half-baked system update. Now that I know how to do that, I can fix it myself next time.
Thanks to Alan at the Salem, NH store!!

Zen Micro constantly FREEZES during FIRMWARE UPGRADE - totally bricked!

Hey,
It's just like it says. My Zen Micro currently has no firmware besides the recovery OS because I chose "reload firmware."? I try to upgrade to both versions of the Zen Micro firmware (.x and 2.x) and as soon as my computer gets started and the Zen Micro has the little "data exchange" icon on there, the computer and Zen Micro hang. The progress bar gets nowhere and it's the Micro that's frozen, not the computer or the firmware upgrade program (I'm a software engineer, I know if it's the program freezing, and it is NOT).
How in blazes is this happening? How can I stop my Micro from freezing? It's all so confusing!
By the way, stats about the PC used:
OS: Windows XP Sp2
Windows Media Player 0 installed
USB 2.0 ports

I have exactly the same issue. Just tried to run the v.x to v2.x firmware upgrade and its been in recovery mode ever since. I tried to run the clean up / format / reload firmware option but it didn't work it just keeps coming back to the recovery mode. Anyone know how to fix this ? I was due to be getting on a 20 hour flight with this one as my company in half a days time so anyone with any good suggestions feel free to tell me ASAP!
ThanksSteve

PETITION: This is what I would like to see in a new firmware upgrade for the MTP ZEN TO

-Ensures correct playback on the player of Zencast audio content that has been transferred using Zencast organiser. Remaining time is displayed correctly, and rewind / fast-forward functions can be used
- Allows users to transfer tracks between folders on the player when using a program such as Creative Mediasource [THIS IS NEEDED FOR ALL MTP PLAYERS]
- Allows charging via USB when the player is not being used by a program or is low on battery [THIS FEATURE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY MTP UPGRADE]
ENHANCEMENTS / ADDITIONAL FEAUTRES [I HAVE LISTED THESE BY MY PERSONAL ORDER OF PREFERENCE]:
) Allows the playback of Audible content types ,2,3,4 on the player, via a plug-in in Audible Manager
2) Adds bookmarking feature to the player

Firmware upgrade crippled cp1025nw

LaserJet CP1025nw color: was working flawlessly
received email from HP 4/3/2012, recommending firmware upgrade to v 20120130.
ran upgrade 4/3/2012 from iMac, OS10.6.8.
got error: 'update failed'
print queue says 'printing', cp1025nw doesn't respond.
printer lights: orange triangle enclosed exclamation mark plus green semicircle
This means: fatal error, per the user manual.
manual instructs to turn off, unplug, plug-in, turn on. I did this several times.
printer lights still indicate: fatal error.
HP utility says: device status: unknown, service ID: unknown, FW version: unknown, driver version 2.0.20110727
                  tried to print configuration page: got error 'cannot establish two-way communication with the device'
                  printer and computer are connected with USB cable, (this cable / port communicates without issue to Epson inkjet printer)
Tried printing from Dell laptop: Latitude E6410 with USB cable: Windows XP professional, 2002, service pack 3.
                  has routinely printed from this computer previously.
error message in printer queue: 'error - printing',
Dell said 'found new hardware' tried to install with HP cd-rom
                  error message said 'the hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software'
ran the HP print diagnostic utility HPPDU.exe file from the Dell with USB cable: 'Everything checks out okay with your printer'
print test page: no response from the cp1025nw
What should I try next?

Since my last post I’ve retried the same troubleshooting described before, this time just from the PC. The result is still the same. Lights on the cp1025nw indicate “fatal error”.
Does anyone know how to put this printer into ‘bootcode’ mode? I’ve read about this in some other posts about HP firmware updates trashing printers.

and
http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/laser/63535
Is there some combination of button presses that sends the printer into bootcode so it is ready to accept the firmware?
HP: How do you start up these printers when they are just manufactured to load the firmware?

HDMI output not working since firmware upgrade

I would appreciate troubleshooting tips for getting the HDMI output to work. I just tried it recently for the first time in a long while, approximately 4 weeks after doing the firmware update to 2.2. When I did it before, plugging in the HDMI cable would automatically start output to my HD TV. Now that is no longer the case. Changing the HDMI output from "Auto" to "720p" does not make a difference either.
Otherwise, everything works well and I've been satisfied with my Creative 7 to date. I have installed several apps so it could be that there is a conflict and nothing related to the firmware upgrade.
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.

Well I've received my refurbished device for about a week now. The HDMI still doesn't work either with Zii Video or a 3rd party app MoboPlayer. ?I am tempted to reinstall the firmware upgrade again. Is it ok to try this or is it only a one time attempt?
Perhaps this should be a separate thread but are any of the "Phone 2 SD" apps compatible with the Ziio 7? Whenever I use the "Move to SD card" option, there is still no program moved to the external SD card. ?I have a Ziio 7 with 6 GB of memory as well as a 6GB micro SD card. ?My memory settings are:
- SD Card: total space - 5.43GB; Available space - 5.43GB
- Device media storage: Total space - 2.48GB; Available Space - 2.3 GB
- System storage: Total Space - .97 GB; Available space - .59GB
In Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, the "On SD Card" tab lists several programs lists several apps but none of them are actually on the external SD card.

Sky Router firmware upgraded - can no longer login with credentials

I usually have no problems accessing my sky router (white Sky Hub with ADSL) via the page 192.168.0.1 however I tried to login the other day and was greeted with an updated looking summary screen - all very nice I thought, let's go and explore! However when I put in the usual details - username: admin, password: sky I get prompted to input my details again which is very odd. Now I know that I am the only one who accesses the router in this way as my flatmate has never logged in and probably never will so I can only assume the firmware upgrade has caused the password/username to change. I logged in the other week and the password is saved in my browser so I am sure I am not making any mistake here. I have tried in chrome and IE just in case but I have the same issue in both. Has the new firmware brought a new default password? I cannot find any reference to this anywhere on this site so it seems unlikely. I would rather not reset my router to default settings as I have devices with static IP addresses and port forwarding setup that will take me some time to reconfigure. I don't think there is any feature to backup the config unless you are actually logged in to the router but would love to be worng about this. I am guessing I will have to bite the bullet and reset to factory defaults but would welcome any help or suggestions if possible?

After review the events of the morning.....
I normally keep my routers in the basement where my eth jacks all hub. High on a shelf, I got reasonable coverage on 2.4Ghz even on the second floor. I went to this router for the Dual mode, but found the 5Ghz didn't make it sufficiently well to the second floor. So it was moved to the first floor, on a counter. That morning the router started acting up a bit, not bringing an iphone online. It was looked at - and a couple of post cards that had been placed on top, removed. Air flow was not blocked around the sides in any way - just a few pieces of card stock on top to interfere with convection off the top.
1. There is no way to look at temperature - maybe the device doesn't even know its own temp.
2. There is no fan that I can discern. Clearly, creating a device that is designed to sit on a flat surface in a home environment ought to take into consideration "normal impediments to air flow". Temp controlled fans is simple, well proven tech.
3. This design is small, has TWO radios, sits horizonal (thus is going to have lousy convection) - seems to me an engineer ought to have given more thought to not only providing the user with easy to obtain data (temp), alternative methods (fan/vertical mounting) and/or self-protection (to hot, I'm shutting down rather than corrupt my database).
Having spent millions on Cisco gear in my career, I would have hoped that Cisco+Linksys would have a little more Cisco and a little less Linksys.

PC-Suite sync fails after Firmware upgrade of E65

After firmware upgrade of E65 PC-Suite stops syncing Calendar & Contacts from outlook. No error messages, just "0 entries has been updated".
- PC-Suite updated to 7.0.9.2
- Outlook 2003
- XP Prof.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The funny thing is - the notes are synced???? If I restore some old contacts they'll double up in outlook, so I think the problem is, that the sync app doesn't see the outlook contact & calendar folder.
Does somebody has an idea?

No power after firmware upgrade on nomad jukebox zen xtra

I have the nomad jukebox zen xtra 30gig that froze up over a year ago after i tried to install the firmware upgrade. After the unsuccessful attempt, the mp3 player stopped working.... I mean no power at all. I've changed the battery and recharged the battery from an outside source...still no luck. I can't even try any of the suggestions anyone gives on this site because I have no power.Does anyone have this problem? More important, does anyone have this problem and know of a solution?I've already set my pc back to wmp 0, I have the firmware on the desktop waiting. Now all I need is some power on this unit so that i can try some of the suggestions that seems to be working for people. Thank you

I have the same problem too, but my unit is a?Creative Normad Junebox Zen Xtra 40GB. I was trying to find a solution to my problem when I read about your problem. I have pressed the reset button, on / off switch, removed the battery, reinstalled the battery, and nothing seems to work. I was hoping you?might get a solution to this problem, so that I might be able to fix my MP3 player. If I hear of a solution, I will let you know, thanks for sharing. Issue:? While updating the firmware to the Zen Xtra 40 GB, the unit powered down and?has never came on again. There seems to be no real reason why the unit should not power up. The battery and the AC adapter are working correctly. I am very disappointed in Creative...

No contacs after firmware upgrade on N70

Hi
I did a firmware upgrade yesterday on my N70 using NSU. Of course I did a backup using the uptodate Nokia PC suite. After the firmware upgrade I saved the data back to the phone aagin using the Nokia PC suite. Everything looks good except that no contacts are there.
I did the upgrade again just to make sure that everything went OK with the same result.
Can some help or has the same problem?
Firmware V 5.0638.3.0.1 18-09-06 RM-84
PC Windows XP SP2
Nokia PC Suite 6.82.22.0
NSU 1.2.0en
Best regards
Chris

not sure about your PC Suite version but this has been well documented in these forums and I had the same problem and with N70. I think it was mentioned as a PC Suite issue, or a combined PC Suite issue N70 issue with many people reporting it. Anyway nothing you can do but enter your contacts or transfer from another phone

Firmware upgrade correct steps?

We are carrying out a firmware upgrade on our 9509’s from 3.3(1c) to 5.2(2) and I want to know if the steps below are correct?
Check hosts for paths to both Fabric's.
Take a backup of the config for all the switches.
On Fabric A upgrade switch 1 to 4.1(x)
Upgrade switch 2 in Fabric A to 4.1(x)
On Fabric A upgrade switch 1 to 5.0(x)
Upgrade switch 2 in Fabric A to 5.0(x)
On Fabric A upgrade switch 1 to 5.2(2)
Upgrade switch 2 in Fabric A to 5.2(2)
When happy, then do the same for Fabric B for the other switches.
Thanks

looks good, just follow the release notes to go to the correct intermediate code level so that upgrade is non disruptive

@jrboozer,
Have you tried going into your Start menu, looking for the HP folder, then using the wireless configuration utility? When I set the wireless up on my machine, this was how I did it and it worked beautifully.
Please let me know if you need any other help.

Firmware upgrade, then lost

Hi,
Quickly following automatic firmware upgrade on 1 week old Time capsule, network is now lost. Airport set up utility can't find Time Machine .. others experience the same problem? TM feels hot .. perhaps overheated due to firmware upgrade. Solutions welcome.

Your computer came with OS 9.0.4 installed. OS9.1 is required for Classic so is handy to have, and apparently your firmware installer requires 9.2.1 You can use free updaters to update to any later OS9 version from any earlier one.
I don't see any option but to obtain a used copy of OS9. Make sure you get the gold full retail version rather than a machine specific version since the latter will only work in those computers for which they were designed. You can get away with a machine specific version as long as it exactly corresponds to the model and build of yours, but that is often hard to confirm until too late in the purchase.
Note that any drive you want to use with OS9 either for purposes of installing OS9 or for running software will have to have OS9 drivers present on it. These are installed when you format a drive and cannot be installed later without reformatting the drive (and losing everything on it). If your computer still has its original drive then those will likely still be on there unless you reformatted the drive with OSX and did not select the keep OS9 drivers option (there's no harm in doing so and it saves a lot of trouble for doing exactly what you are trying to do). You can can have a drive present that doesn't have the drivers but it simply won't be seen by OS9.
Disconnect all third party hardware (including PCI cards) when updating the firmware.

Firmware upgrade stopped mail from sending emails

since i had the firmware upgrade Ive had problems sending email using the Mail programme.
Nothing i have tried has fixed this issue and ive scoured the net looking for a resolution.
Has anyone else had this problem and how have you fixed it.
Im a bit of an idiot when it comes to technical stuff so a for dummies explanation would go down really well.
cheers

sorry for the late reply
I can receive mail but no SMTP servers will send out mail and i have tried four different ones including my ISP's
I have also tried another mail package (thunderbird) and im getting the same problem.
I have been unable to send mail on my mac now for months.
Does anyone have any idea how i can rectify this - no changes have been made to my router settings so its not a firewall issue.
