Firmware upgrade stuck

My router says there is still a firmware upgrade in progress. I have flashed and reflashed (using UI and tftp util) multiple times, and this will not go away.
This is all on top of erratic behavior, dropping the connection, periods of no connectivity, periods of degraded performance, etc.
I've tried a factory reset, and holding the button in for 30 seconds. Nothing will get this perpetual firmware upgrade to go away.

Anytime a firmware upgrade is interrupted (for whatever reason) before it completes, there is a serious risk that your router will die. However, there is always some hope. Please try the following:
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

6220 Classic Firmware upgrade - stuck / any ideas ...

Am trying to use Nokia Software Updates to do a firmware upgrade to my 6220 Classic from v 03.06 to v 03.46.
All going smoothly until the stage when the updater tells me : Updating the Software, please wait... Estimated time left : 15 mins.
This has now been reading like this for about half an hour - clearly it's stuck.
Any ideas ? Lots of grim warning about "Don't disconnect etc etc".
Thanks.

I ended up solving this myself simply through persisting. Dull and clunky process, but I ended up ignoring the "do not disconnect..." warnings. disconnecting it, and starting all over again.
Strangely, and I hope it's different for you, I now have a phone that confirms that it has the new firmware loaded up, but I see no discernible difference in performance, battery life etc etc. Close to a waste of time, if Nokia cares (which I don't think it does).

WET610N firmware upgrade stuck at 54%

After setting the bridge up successfully (few hiccups), I figured I should upgrade the firmware. Its stuck at 54% for an hour now. There is flashing text in red warning: Upgrade must NOT be interrupted!!
Its clearly stuck and I don't think its going to move. Any thoughts on how I should proceed.
What would happen if I pulled the plug on the upgrade?

If you wish to upgrade your WET610N’s firmware manually, you need to complete the following steps:
i. Checking the firmware version of your Bridge
ii. Downloading the firmware
iii. Performing the upgrade
iv. Reconfiguring the Bridge
QUICK TIPS:
For stable connectivity and to prevent upgrade failures, make sure that your computer is connected to the bridge using an Ethernet cable. Upgrading the firmware wirelessly may cause permanent damage to the bridge since wireless connection may be unstable during the process.
Use a different web browser if Internet Explorer doesn’t work or use a different computer to perform the upgrade.
Disable any computer firewall to ensure that the upgrade will not be disrupted.
Make sure that you have downloaded the correct firmware and version for your device to prevent technical problems that may damage the bridge.
Here is the link for upgrading the firmware of the Bridge: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=3704c49be88e46bd87bafdb1b3afd88e_4901.xml&pid=80&r...

Iomega Storcenter ix4-300d stuck at 95% after firmware upgrade

Hi,
I upgraded my device after I got an email that there is a new firmware:
An update to version 3.2.10.30101 of the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d software is now available
I installed the update but now it is stuck at 95% after rebooting.
Never had any problem before the firmware upgrade.
Any advice?

Hello BelgianTomas
I recommend that you first power down the unit if the unit has not completed the boot process. Then re-seat all disks and try booting the unit again. Please do not try to access the web interface until the power led is solid white.
Next would be to try moving the internal disks to different bays to see if a different drive order wil allow the unit to boot.
If that does not help, LenovoEMC suppor should be contacted for more advanced options.

Help..I updated my iphone4 to iOS to 7.1.1 from 6.1.3 at last stage of firmware upgrading throwing an error 16 and stuck in recovery mode.

HIAll
I waited so long not to update of my iphone4 to 7.x.x because of bugs and not much stable for iPhone4 and many reviews from friends saying phone is very slow and many bugs but after release of iOS 7.1.1 of many improvements for iphone4. I tried to update my iphone4 to 7.1.1 through iTunes at last stage of firmware upgrading its showing an error occurred error (16). I checked in internet error16 is purely hardware issue before my phone is very good condition in iOS6.1.3 no problem with my phone, But after upgrading to how it will be hardware issues. why Apple engineers are not testing properly their software’s before releasing great updates to customers now my phone is out of warranty and I can’t use it anymore just showing iTunes symbol and charger on the screen while on/off showing apple logo. From the past September there is no proper solution for error 16. Don’t know what these people are doing about that error why apple is crashing customer phones by releasing useless update to phones what is the point of buying such a expensive phones don't know what to do with this phone. Tried many possible ways
Tried: presing home+power button at 95% of firmware update
          Disconnected battery and restored
          used DrPhone to restart
          tried to restore old version 7.x.x
          no luck.
          used new original cables
          restored with Macbook
          tried to restore in 3 Different computers and so many times but no luck

Hi, to get your iPhone 4 back to normal, here're two ways for you.
1. Use Dr.Fone for iOS. The free trial version can fix iPhone screen of death. The free trial version can do that, you don't have to pay.
Just download and install this software on your computer and connect your iPhone 4 to computer with a USB cable. When it detects your iPhone 4 is abnormal, click Restart the device to get your iPhone 4 to be normal.
2. Use iTunes to fix it.
Step 1. Make sure that the latest iTunes is installed on your computer.
Step 2. Plug into a USB cable to connect your iPhone4 to computer.
Step 3. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time for about 10s.
Step 4. 10 seconds later, release the sleep/wake button. But continue to hold the home button until a message comes out, saying "iTunes has discovered an iPhone 4 in recovery mode, you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
Step 5. Click your iPhone 4 in the left sidebar to show the device control panel on the right. Then, click Summary.
Step 6. Go to Backups section and click Restore Backup.... In the drop-down list, choose a backup file and restore to your iPhone 4

Stuck with Management mode firmware upgrade..see pic

Firmware Upgrade

Apply Reset
How do I get around this. I upgraded to WRT54Gv5v6_1.02.5.002_fw.bin and now when I reboot this is all I get. If I try to go to another version I don't get connectivity. I only have connectivity for this part then I lose it.
Every time I type in 192.168.1.1 I always get this display....
I've tried to hold the reset up for 30sec the first time then 1min.......then unplug for 10 to 20 seconds, (still holding down the reset button) and reconnect. Letting go of the reset button once it's connected.
Is the router gone? Will I have to get another one? Would like to get your input.
Thanks

Download firmware file again. And browse for it, and upgrade it. Reboot router, it might work.

ZenV Plus STILL stuck in recovery mode after firmware upgrade

=Hi there,
My ZenV plus opened in recovery mode for no apparent reason... I have tried every option to try to fix it, including downloading and installing the firmware upgrade - this generated a message saying the upgrade was successful but the player will still only start in Recovery Mode after trying to reboot it. So what do I do next? Thanks in advance for any and all helpful suggestions.

AHi,
Can you please try resetting the ZEN V Plus to see if it helps?
To reset the player, use a pin to press the reset button.
Did this happen out of the blue?
Do you have any contents in the player? If you do, please remove them to see if the player is booting up properly.

Firmware Upgrade and Battery Life?

Since the firmware upgrade on my Macbook in early February the fan appears to be running at full speed all the time and battery life is crap! Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix/workaround available please?

Sounds more like an app stuck processing that shouldn't be....does happen from time to time. Behing hot means it is constantly processing.
To fix:
Try a reboot (described below).
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

Firmware upgrade on mac book air 13"

i clicked the update next to the firmware upgrade 1.6 option in app store, it is now stuck on "checking for new updates", i can't shutdown or anything, it says you must wait for os updates to complete before shutting down. the message has been displayed for the last 6 hours. anybody got any pointers, have contacted apple, but they are closed in the uk now, US care are trying to call but can't seem to get through to me.

You can force quit the app store and load it down manually. See this thread for a link.

Firmware upgrade nokia CK-7W car set

Hello.
Is it possible to firmware upgrade the car kit CK-7W ?
I have problems that the audio connection between my Nokia 6210 Navigator and CK-7W is is in falling out periodical.
I have the lates firmware in my nokia 6210 navigator (3.25)
Message Edited by hchdk on 01-Jan-2009 11:03 PM

Thanks for the response.
The car kit was installed by a Car Phone Warehouse Nokia approved fitter about 4 years ago The kit has worked really well until recently!
The contol button doesn't seem to be stuck in and responds as it should to button presses. In terms of the cable being squashed or damaged. Obviously there is a chance, but in actual fact, only an inch is on show before it is hidden behind the dashboard. In this instance I'm not sure what damage might occur since I don't know how to remove the dash!
Apologies, I'm not certain I understand your comment re:
- "You can rule out the button by disconnecting it then starting the car and connecting, before switching off the car to see if the kit shuts down."
How do I disconnect the button? Does it pull away from the lead / cable?
Many, many thanks for your help,
Chris

EA6500 won't work with Windows 8.1--Firmware install stuck in restart...

I upgraded to Windows 8.1 about a week ago, and everything was fine. Then my cleaning lady unplugged my modem, which normally results in the internet no longer working, and necessitates me resetting the router, then going to 192.168.1.1 to set up passwords, etc.
I decided to go the old route, but when I tried to pull up 192.168.1.1, I was told that my browser (Internet Explorer) wasn't supported. So I used my laptop, and was able to log into it, then went to check for a firmware update; the software told me there wasn't a new one, but I was able to find one on the website, so I downloaded it and ran a manual firmware update. Everything seemed fine, as the install bar slowly filled up, at which point I was told that I needed to wait for my router to restart. Unfortunately, 45 minutes later, it had not restarted, so the screen was frozen. I unplugged the router, then tried to go online, but was told that I wasn't connected to a router at all. I reset the router by pushing the button with a paperclip. Everything happened the same way... the firmware was reset to stock, but showed there was no new firmware, so I manually installed it, then it got stuck and never restarted.
When I say it's stuck in restart, I mean that the light keeps flashing... normally, when restarted, it flashes for 10 to 20 seconds, then becomes solid.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? As of now, my desktop PC has no internet connection.
Thanks!

Hi earwicker7,
Did you turn off the Windows Firewall when you did the manual firmware upgrade?
You can try doing a hard reset again and that is done by pressing the reset button for 10-20 seconds while the router is powered on. Unplug the device after that. Once plugged in, do the manual upgrade again with the firewall turned off. Hope this helps.

ACR + Canon 5d2 with firmware upgrade?

Canon released a frimware upgrade for the 5D Mark II which claims to fix the "black dot" problem and a SRAW1 banding problem. Very little feedback has been reported by users, but some reports imply that the new firmware creats a new RAW file that can not be properly processed by current raw converters. Claims are that old converters will convert the new RAW files, but with some wierd color shifts.
That claim is fueled by Canon's own statement that you must get an updated version of their DPP program to properly process the new RAW and SRAW files. But what about Adobe Camera Raw? Can anyone confirm or deny that old/current versions of ACR will not properly process 5D Mark II raw files?
If true, is an update to ACR coming? More important, will Adobe be able to apply whatever correction is necessary within the DNG Converter? So those of us with CS3 who are stuck forever with ACR 4.5 can process firmware-updated 5d MarkII raw files correctly?
Not a critical problem, because you can apparently function quite well without the firmware upgrade. But the upgrade is a path of no return. Once upgraded, you can't go back to the original firmware version if problems with ACR exist.

Looks like they might have done pretty well with the dots (although this
is just one small example):

Firmware Version 1.0.7 is for EOS 5D Mark II cameras with firmware up to
version 1.0.6. If the camera's firmware is already version 1.0.7, it is not
necessary to update the firmware.

Problems with the latest firmware upgrade

I found a problem with the 01-10-2006 firmware upgrade. Now that it is inside my ipod certain videos don't play properly anymore. Actually the video starts, it plays normally for a while and then it goes still for a few seconds and then, when it plays again, the audio is gone.
It always happens in the same point with the same video. In particular, just in case someone wants to try, it happens in the latest nasa video podcast.
I don't know what to do!
I'll try to step back to the 1.0 version...

I'm having this problem as well. Sinse I updated the firmware all of my movies get stuck about every 10 seconds then if I wait a few seconds they start up again but with no audio. I'm quite certain that this is a problem with the firmware sinse the videos play fine on quicktime, they used to play fine in my ipod before I updated it, and I can get it to play the parts it gets stuck at if I rewind it but it happens very frequently and each time takes a while to reload. If anyone has found a way to solve this problem please let us know.

Winxp keeps rebooting - can't finish the firmware upgrade

The firmware upgrade was almost done. Itunes told me to not disconnect the phone until it re-appears in i-tunes. Then never happened - Windows said "USB device detected - digital still camera" and then my computer rebooted (after briefly showing me the blue screen). It keeps happening - I'm stuck in a loop Ideas?

Ok so after reading an older post that talks about incompatibilities with older logitech webcam drivers (and also references http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306048) I did the following:
1.I connected my ysb logitech webcam to my computer
2.I updated the webcam drivers
3.I disabled the device in Device Manager
4.I disconnected the webcam
5.I connecedt the iphone
Things worked this time.

HOT iPhone and poor battery life after 1.14 to 2.1 firmware upgrade

I recently upgraded my Original iPhone's firmware from 1.1.4 to 2.1. I did a restore rather than a simple upgrade (backup, restore to version 2.1, restore backup).
After the restore I noticed that my battery life was terrible and that the phone would get very hot (near the top of the phone) sometimes, as if the battery was discharging very quickly. I read a few posts that suggested Push might be the culprit, so I turned Push off (I'm not using MobileMe), and this seemed to solve the problem. However...
I now notice that whenever I play Apple's Texas Holdem from the App Store or play YouTube clips the same phenomena occurs, and that nothing short of a hard reset will stop it.
Oddly, if I refrain from playing YouTube clips or playing Texas Holdem battery life is much better than before the firmware upgrade.
In short, it looks as though there is something wrong with the 2.1 firmware. I see sporadic accounts of similar behavior on the various discussion boards, so I know I'm not alone.
Is there a fix for this behavior?
Thanks in advance...
James
