Formated Muvo NX before firmware update, help plea

For some time ago, I formated my MuVo NX 28mb player by mistake. This caused the player the firmware to go "blank", the player would not start at all. I tried to download the firmware update, but it couldn't see the difference between my mp3 player, and a normal memory stick. Anyone have any ideas that can solve this problem?
Oh, and I apologize for bad english, as it is not my nati've language.

Is there a Recovery Mode for your player? See the sticky post at the top of the page.

Freeze at startup after System and Firmware update - Help!

I took the automated system upgrade last Sunday including updates on a bunch of Apple applications, OS X 10.4.6 (it was included if I recall correctly) and a SMC Firmware update. After downloading all files and installing them my iMac restarted. After that the SMC Firmware upgrade started and I followed the instructions ending in another restart.
This is where my problems began. At this startup I got through the grey screen with the Apple logo and got so far as to the blue screen with the Mac symbol saying something like "starting up". The progress bar started moving and froze after reaching about a fifth of its final length.
As this was a firmware update I didn't want to interrupt anything so I left it for the night (no progress in the morning) and for the next day. Still no progress when I came home from work so I shut it down (pulled the power cord).
Efter this I've tried to fall back using the Firmware Restoration CD available at Apple's support page, but this doesn't work. My iMac refuses to start the installation of the old Firmware even though I follow the fallback instructions. (After starting the computer and keeping the power on button pressed I wait for the front light below the screen to first flash rapidly for a while and then do a SOS (three short, three long and three short blinks). The SOS however, never happens, instead the computer proceeds directly to the grey startup screen before it freezes when it reaches the blue screen.
I have no clue to what to do. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

minxlj,
It is not my intention to be rude, however, it is my intention to be direct. Do you have a G5 or do you have an Intel Core Duo, or perhaps even both? Because right now your signature says you have a G5, which has PPC chips in it made by IBM, not Core Duo chips made by Intel.
The reason I ask is because, just as in another Discussion here in the Intel forum, you are responding to information that appears to not apply to the computer you say you have and you are giving information that, if you have a G5, does not apply to the computers of the folks here in the Intel forum.
Could you please clear that up by correcting your signature so everyone here knows you are comparing oranges with oranges and not mangos with oranges?
Staffan,
As far as the SMC Firmware update and the Firmware Restoration CD, the two items are not related. The Firmware Restoration CD is only for the Firmware Update that came out in mid-April. It is intended for someone whose computer messed up in the application of the Firmware Update and is intended to bring their computer back to its Firmware state prior to the botched Firmware Update. It will not assist you if you had problems applying the SMC Firmware Update from early May.
If I am understanding your description of your Mac's problem it sounds if if you have successfully installed the SMC firmware update, but now have a possible 3rd party satrtupitem that is not allowing your Mac's OS X to fully boot. You can check to see if both the Firmware Update and SMC Firmware Update have been successfully installed by booting your Mac into safe Mode by pressing the "Shift" key during startup. This boot will take longer than normal because it is verifying and repairing your directory. After the desktop appears, go to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler. In the Contents section, highlight Hardware and Hardware Overview should show; Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03 for the Firmware update and SMC Version: 1.1f5 for the SMC Firmware Update.

Just yesterday I managed to rescue (on the last ditch attempt) a strawberry iMac DV (400MHz) that had exactly this problem. I read through the documentation suggested on this thread and discovered that it had moved all the way through to the 'Stage 4' issue; it would automatically power down about 6-7 seconds after the welcome chime. Before reading the docs I'd zapped the PRAM and removed the battery multiple times thinking I was doing the right thing, so it was well and truly stuck.
Luckily, before it died I had updated to OS 9.1 and run the firmware update, but of course you need to reboot for the update to actually be written to the chip. I'd actually given up and put it on the recycle pile, only to find myself with a spare half hour in the afternoon. This is exactly what I did to get it back to life. Note that the battery had been out for a couple of hours prior to trying this.
1. Put on desk, upside down with all panels open, not connected to anything.
2. Remove everything (which in this machine was just RAM - battery was already out and it had no Airport card).
3. Put battery back in. Very old battery, so no idea if it had much charge.
4. Pressed internal PRAM reset button once, briefly (no more than 1 second).
5. Waited for about 20 seconds.
6. Put a 256MB card into slot J13 that I had just pilfered from an old PC. It previously had in it two 64MB cards.
7. Plugged into a monitor, then the mains and turned power on.
8. Waited for about 20 seconds.
9. Pushed in the programmers button and held it down while tapping the power button.
10. Released programmers button when the evil beep sound happened.
I was then very surprised that it not only stayed running, but actually started the firmware update! I guess I was very lucky in that I'd managed to run the firmware application in OS 9.1 before the machine got stuck, otherwise you'd need to boot into Mac OS, run the app and then reboot a second time to get it to apply the update.
Best of luck - this iMac DV is now off to a new home instead of the bin. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it copes with OS X 10.4.11.

Zen 20g recovery firmware installation help plea

Hi,
I have a brand new Zen 20g and have installed the s/w onto my pc (XP) and am trying to connect the player. I had constant problems so rang support and they sent me the recovery firmware so that I could re-install the firmware. I managed to delete the firmware on the device, but am having SO much trouble installing the new stuff. I get to the point where the device says to initiate the new install via USB, so I click the Zen__00_02.exe and select English for my language, and then nothinhg seems to happen - but if I disconnect the device I get a popup saying that the device is disconnected.
I can't seem to find any info on installing firmware - ie what it should look like. Can someone help please?
Thanks.

Never disconnect a player when running a firmware update, you could damage the player beyond easy repair. If you must disconnect (because the update isn't happening) wait at least 0 or 5 minutes before disconnecting, at which point clearly the upgrade isn't happening.
You might be better to reload the OS, that is to erase the firmware on the player itself, then connect it to the PC and reload. If this doesn't work on your PC then install the drivers on another PC and try there. If this doesn't work either then you'll need to contact Creative Support again.
I'm not exactly sure how you get into the rescue mode with the Zen 20Gb, but I assume you either keep the power switch or play held down, then press the tiny reset switch.

X230 SSD Firmware Update help

Hello,
We are currently having some issues with waking up a X230-2324CTO from a sleep. When awoken from sleep it is unable to open any programs. Programs for example an icon on the taskbar will glow up like if you would normally open a program but then will return to a normal icon like suggesting it was never pressed and no program will open.
Our hope is that the solution is a SSD Firmware update. The have the system updated with every update available for the X230-2324CTO using System Update but this one remains.
Tho we can't figure out how to do this SSD Firmware Update. We don't have a CD drive in this model and when using an USB external disk drive (Samsung) we are unable to boot to the CD.
The question now is can someone provide us with a very clear step by step manual in how to create such a CD the documentation with the update FWSS31 is very poor to say the least. What do we need to create such a CD and how do we need to do it.
Thanks for the support

We are using a Lenovo preload of Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. We currently have 5 Lenovo X230 2324CTO laptops and all of these laptops have the same problems.
One of these problems is that when coming into the office and they put there laptop into the Lenovo dockingstations and power up the laptop that when logged in the OS no program is able to load. There sometimes is a delay in this problem that for example they are able to open Outlook or a website but then no program is able to load. As I described earlier the animation for opening a program will occur on the bar but it will quickly just fade away. Also shutting the laptop off is not possible. It is possible to open the charm bar in Windows 8 and go to the shutdown option but on clicking the computer does nothing.
Another problem is that the user is stuck on the login screen of Windows 8 simply saying Welcome with a loading circle which never stops.
Only a forced shutdown (holding the power button for aprox 10 seconds) and restarting the laptop will make the laptop work again when either of these problems occur. These problems occur on random days. As I'm in the IT Team I know when a problem occurs and it can vary to a few days, every day or a few weeks even before it starts to show up again.
I also checked the users and there behaviour in using the laptop but I cannot find any strange behaviour at all. As i also stated before we are running on every update that Lenovo System Update 5 can trow at us. I also installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology the newest version in hopes of fixing some of the problems.
Thanks for the support.

MBP C2D Firmware update help

Currently my MBP C2D has firmware of Boot ROM Version:MBP22.00A5.B00
and SMC Version: 1.12f5. When attempting to update the firmware to the most up to date version it states "this computer does not need to be updated" even though it does not have the most current version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I too experienced the same thing, and was equally puzzled. Then I read this Special Report about the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2 at MacFixit. There, rather buried away in a paragraph towards the end, is this statement:
Not required for Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros Note that (although Apple makes no mention of the fact) EFI Firmware Update 1.2 is not applicable to Core 2 Duo-based MacBook Pros.

Can any one help me out to install the update without having to put back the CD DRIVE ( superdrive) or something and can someone tell me if i update the Firmware to MU02 , woud that delete SSD Data and applications or what? Lastly, if the MX100 SSD is faulty, can i return it to the Crucial and have it replaced by the MX200? or something better by paying the differences? Somone please let me know. Thanks

Thanks in advance

Update availability is based on many things, including existing Nokia device firmware version, country, and operator. It may be due to one of these variables that your Nokia device isn't eligible for updates.
Please note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved the latest Nokia device firmware available.
Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have the latest Nokia device firmware. New software may become available at a later date, however, so please check again soon.

Firmware update help please

Hello, I posted this in the optical forum but got no answers, so I hope someone could help here.
Hi there, I have just fitted an MSI CR52-M CDRW and ran live update to check for firmware. It said I had version 3.30 and 3.70 was available. I started the update procedure following exactly in windows mode and while it was updating it just simply crashed.
I used the flash recovery floppy it got me to create, but this just set me back to 3.30.
I tried again via live update, but this time chose to do it in dos mode. After going through the process and rebooting etc. It still says I have version 3.30?
Is there a problem with this firware upgrade or am I perhaps overlooking something?
I thank you in advance for any help and advice.

Your post in the optical forum is the correct place. It may take a while to get a response.

I also have the new MBP with the C2D, and i checked everywhere to see if i needed the firmware upgrade, and couldn't find it anywhere. All the references that i found were toward the old MBP, not the new one. One question about your boot camp tho, does your cpu constantly run at about 75% load in windows, because i just installed boot camp with XP pro today, (NO problem with firmware that i found) and i was always under load. Might be something to look into.
PS, mine is 1.12f5, just like yours

SMC Firmware update help needed

I've just got this brand new MBP from Apple. As a MacUser for the last 15 years my work now requires that I get Windose XP- hence the upgrade (I think I would have stayed with my old G4 Ti if I hadn't needed to get XP- but now I'm pleased that I did get this computer after all).
Anyhow, enough of that. I have to install boot camp and the instructions indicate that I need to check my firmware and to see if it needs updating. This mbp system profiler reads that the Boot ROM Version is;
MBP22.00A5.B00
and the SMC Version is;
1.12f5.
However to me this is really quite illogical, because this could mean anything as far as I'm concerened- as I can't find any reference to these numbers anywhere else on the Apple site. Can you Apple folks shed some more light on this- and if I need to update, would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction?
PS, Send my thanks to everyone at Apple for such a smashing Power...ahem...Macbook Pro
regards,
Tom

Firmware update help!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi I have a N95 8GB and I'm trying to update the firmware to the new version and it says that I am missing key software or something....
Can someone please give me a link to download the pc suite that I need as I think I may have the old version and a link to download the software update application please.
Thanks in advance.

Latest PC Suite is always on http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
Latest Nokia Software Updater is also separately on http://www.nokia.com/softwareupdate
If you have trouble with NSU, post the exact error message you get (word-for-word as displayed on your PC). It is easier to figure out what the problem might be ("missing key software or something..." is a bit vague).

Nokia 6233 firmware updates HELP !

I update my firmware to 04.91 (inc lang. pack)
But in new firmware Russian lang. is not present. My Phone code is 0528589.
And same question for NSU team - can You make optional menu in NSU for lang. select ?
How i can get RUSSIAN on my phone via NSU ?
Best Regads.

Firstly remove the battery for at least 5 minutes and then replace and see if that makes any difference.
Then try the "3 finger deep reset" which is with the phone turned off, depress these three keys simultaneously "*" "3" "green phone" and then power on phone whilst keeping those same three keys depressed until you hear start-up tone.
This should ONLY be done if the device doesn't power up normally anymore and it wipes everything in the Phone memory that is not part of the ROM. So, unless you have a previous backup of your phone, you will lose all your data.
If none of the above worked then you will need to send your phone to the nearest Nokia Care Point.
You can find your nearest Nokia Care Point at:

Muvo C100 Sport Firmware update FAIL

I tried updating to MuVoC00_PCFW_LB__0_0.exe and it gave me some obscure message about a semaphore timeout and now the c00 won't even power on. of course since it won't power on it can't been seen by windows xp. it is DEAD! i've tried removing the battery and holding the menu button while replacing the battery; NOTHING!
How can I bring this thing back to life?
thx

I'm not sure what the recovery mode is for the C00, and if it differs from the other MuVo players, but it sounds like you ought to contact Creative Support direct.
