Had a failed Firmware Upgrade on a Zen??? LOOK INSIDE FOR POSSIBLE

From the Nomadness.net forums: (I had the same problem and user inferno9 at those forums posted this which fixed my issues - hope it helps!)
The problem was that I had formatted the dri've and attempted to reload the firmware, when, BOOM, the firmware updates would not detect the player. I tried all kinds of different strategies, different drivers, different applications, safe mode, etc...until I FINALLY figured it out.
Buried deep within Microsoft's website, I found this link...

Issues updating firmware on Creative ZEN portable devices after installing Windows Media Player
If you have a Creative ZEN device, make sure the device has the latest firmware before you install the beta release of Windows Media Player . To download the latest firmware, go to Creative Worldwide.
If you try to upgrade the firmware on your Creative ZEN after you install the beta release of Windows Media Player , the Creative firmware upgrade software might not recognize your device.
In this case, remove Windows Media Player , update the Creative firmware, and then reinstall Windows Media Player . Creative plans to address this issue in future firmware updates.
For information about removing the beta release of Windows Media Player , see Rolling back to a previous version of the Player.

Good luck all.

Zen Sleek Firmware Upgrade, now my Zen is kap

First off, if the answer to this has been posted I apologise, Ive been trying to sort this out for about 4 hours now and I've tried every fix Ive found listed on this site.
ok, here goes
I wanted to get stuff from online music store, looked it up, found that firmware updgrade 2.0.03 was needed for Play-For_sure functionality.
Downloaded it, did all the bits n pieces, shut down everything, unchecked the detector etc etc etc, double clicked the the firmware to install, and it started.
About 2 mins in, the player reboots, and one of those annoying WinXP windows pops up asking what I would like windows to do each time I connect this device (A) use WMP0, (B) use mediamonkey or (C) Take no action. I selected C.
Player shut down, and the message onscreen was player was rebooting........90 mins later still the same thing.
I was loath to disconnect the player or fiddle with it in any way as I know from past expierence, messing with firmware upgrades can be tear jerkers, so I looked around this site before I did anything. On seeing nothing about firmware stalls I did the only thing I could, tried the firmware installation again, but my PC could no longer loacte the player.
I started trying everything listed, recovery mode, format, reload firmware, checking the USB cables on other PC's etc etc etc
My Zen Sleek is now, it seems, completely buggered. There is now no firmware on it, and my PC cannot locate it at all.
OS: Win Xp
Player: Zen Sleek 20gb
Firmware: (It was .00.05 then upgrade to 2.0.03)
Can anything be done?

I had the exact same problem as Drake. I tried to update the firmware, it didn't take, now my Zen Sleek has no firmware on it and the firmware update that I downloaded from Creative tells me that my player is not connected and will not let me install the updated firmware.
While the firmware download (ZenSleekP4S_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe) does not recognize my Zen Sleek, but Windows recognizes it, and it shows up as "Zen Sleek" in the device manager.
I installed the first hotfix from the KB article listed above. That worked fine. I tried to install the second hotfix, but Windows said that the 2nd hotfix was already installed on my system.
I then did the registry edit. There are two "CurrentControlSet" entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM. I navigated to the USB folder in each and changed the permisions for each.
I then uninstalled the player from the Device Manager and rebooted.
After reboot, Windows recognized the player again and it shows up correctly in the Device Manager.
However, the firmware update still tells me that the player is not connected and will not let me install the firmware.
Help, please.Message Edited by bsteggeman on 07-09-2006 07:39 PM

WRT54G v8.2 failed firmware upgrade problem

Today I tried to upgrade my WRT54G v8.2 router to the latest firmware from Linksys. But the upgrade kept repeating itself every time when the progress bar reached about 75%. This lasted more than 30 minutes and I had to stopped the upgrade. Then the router stopped working. I've reset and hard reset the router. I also tried the tftp method to upgrade the firmware again. But the problem is still there. When I ping 192.168.1.1, I constantly get the "Destination host unreachable" message. Anyone could help me fix this problem? The power light and the ethernet port light are always on. Is there any way to fix the problem? Any information is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do not use the wireless computer to upgrade the firmware.Hard-reset the router for 1 minute and try this link and check if that works...

Firmware upgrade failure with zen Vision M 30

Hi Guys, new to this and need some help as it has been a few days waiting on anything sensible to come from Creative support. History. Daughter got the new creative vision M 60gig and gave old (0 months) 30 gig to Dad Smiles all round. Dad (tech support manager) loads up system software and re formats the dri've. Finds new firmware upgrade so down loads and goes through the prosess of updating. Now up to this point, unit was working fine and was seen by win xp in the 'my computers list' but is new to my computer. Selected reload firmware which erased the old and told me to install the new. I ran the downloaded .exe file (latest) and it told me it could not find a device. Spent last night looking over the web for clues. Windows media play was listed but it turns out that it was only the beta that had an issue (in any event, it would not let me remove it as it wanted to do a roll back but could only find ver to roll back to). Sent out message to creative who cam back and told me to roll back wmp (great help) and to change the permissions for USB which I did. This then caused my computer to blue screen twice (had to re boot in safe and exit to recover). Ran registry mechanic and it fixed several things but still the unit is not seen by the upgrade program. When I boot the player up, it detects it has a firmware issue and puts me in the recovery mode screen. But nothing I do gets the upgrade to work. Any one got any ideas?

I have a similar problem. I tried to upgrade my firmware. So it erased the one that was on the player, and when i try to install the new one the computer says the device isn't plugged in, even though when i plug it in the pop up menu is displayed and it says DOcked on the player and the player is charging

This is part of the message since you cannot post such a long message in posting.
This should show how lost you might be with your warranty. If you install the Firmware Upgrade .8.02 your player might be useless. There is no way to make it work again. Not really. If you understand what Creative seems not to do. So dear user - buy a new player. If you want to know what the solution is to make your player work again post here. If there are enough postings I will explain it here. Too sad that Creative does not do it. It is their job not mine... But again - I am not talking about a problem what is nice to have it solved. I am talking about a player that does not work anymore. If you do not want to wait for my solution just send your player for repair - it was not your fault that it does not work anymore...
This story with the great support was a test of Creative and will be used in a review. So be not surprised to find it somewhere else.
Here the Creative support story. The first mail is at the bottom. I had to make part and part 2 since you cannot post such a long message here.
To: Creative Labs Asia Customer Support <[email][email protected]][email protected][/url]>Subject: Re: CLA (CTL) - Technical Support Request - (MuVo TX FM) (KMM7755874I6636L0KM)Dear,I know the solution long time already. I just wanted to test the support at Creative. The problem is real and forces owners of your players to buy a new one since their playes get useless after the upgrade. Not only that Creative puts a faulty upgrade on their homepage - their support is good for nothing. But this was a test of the Creative support. I hardly can believe that Creative is not in the position to solve a very simple problem caused by Creative - what has severe consequences for their customers. But this mail story confirms exactly this. So my advice to any customers - stay away from this company and their products - what is the final result of my test. If you want to know the solution for the problem please contact me again - I am glad to help such a poor company :-)))) For free?

Failed firmware upgrade on PX6-300D

Upgraded my PX6-300D to 4.1.102.29716 and on reboot the LED status bar stops at 95% and the System Status Indicator is solid red and the Drive Activity Indicator is solid red. What is the next step in troubleshooting this problem?

Hello gnomikk,
For a px6 that is getting hung in the boot sequence, I would try booting the NAS with no drives installed.
If it boots, try adding the drives, one-by-one, giving about a miniute between each one, while the NAS is still powered up.
If the NAS will not boot with the drives removed, you will need to contact your local support here:

'Thanks a million for the link, KokChoy-CL! You are now on my X-mas present list.
I have been using the .0.03 firmware, but recently I read http://forums.creative.com/t5/MP3-Players/Zen-Touch-Custom-EQ-Frequencies-Wrong/m-p/64205" and wanted to try out the .00.06 firmware. Comparing from memory and using custom EQ, lows and mids sound much more clear now while bass is a bit more on the light side.

Looks like it hasn't touched OCR or Voting disk yet. You can fix the problem.. ie enable RAC and make sure ar is in path and re-run the script.
Make sure that 10gCRS is good.. If everyhing is all right with 10g.. you can probably bounce it and verify again.. if its all good, you can uninstall the grid home using OUI.

Cannot perform JetDirect firmware upgrades

I was recently tasked with making sure the firmware was up to date for all the printers in the building. I still have 8 more that I have been unable to update. I used HP Download Manager first, and it was very good at telling me which printers needed firmware updates, but it failed every time I tried to actually perform an update. So, I downloaded the firmware files manually, then used the web interface of the printers to do the firmware updates. Except that a number of them did not include an "upgrade firmware" option. So, then I tried to FTP the firmware file to those printers, following the instructions here. Every time I tried that, the printer would just start printing garbage, interpreting the binary file I was sending it as if it was a print job. Of note: the instructions say to do a "cd DOWNLOAD" command, but not to worry if that directory does not exist. On every one that failed, and just printed garbage, the "cd DOWNLOAD" command failed. I even connected directly to the printer with a crossover cable, but then you still have to follow the FTP instructions, and it does the same thing.
So where do I go from here? How do I perform a firmware upgrade without the printer interpreting it as a print job?
Here are the models of the JetDirect cards I am trying to update:
J4169A
J6057A
J3113A
J3111A
J2552B

First thing you can try is just to save the firmware file to the root (c:/) and run the ftp command from the root which negates any need to change directories.
Second thing to consider - what printers are the JD cards installed in? Some of the printers will automatically update the firmware for the JD card when you do the printer firmware. More common in those with internal JD cards but I have seen a few printers do the double update with the accessory card.
(oh, and you are ftping to the IP address of the printer, not connecting via parallel, correct?)
One of the simplest ways to ftp is to use an IE browser (preferably IE 6), enable view folder option for ftp in the advanced internet options and then use the browser to ftp to the printer (ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). You should see a small folder icon. Some printers need to have the firmware file dropped beside the folder for it to work, some need it dropped right on the folder for it to work.
If that still doesn't work - drop the cards in one of the printers that did allow the update and see if that makes a difference. You could also try cold resetting the printers with the cards installed in case they were managed by Webjet Admin at one point and updates were blocked. You could also download and use Webjet Admin to do the firmware upgrades (this is a great tool for fleet management and being able to configure multiple families of similar printers at the same time from the comfort of your desk!)

Would you buy an n200 when firmware upgrade a problem or go with nan

My dealer has both the n200 and nano with n200 a bit lower in price.Would you go with n200 if no firmware upgrade seems to exist or go for the nano?Does the n200 have decent firmware in it so upgrade not needed?Is there firmware out there to stop the backlight buzz? thanks matt

First of all, compare the n200 to the Nano Plus. The Nano lacks FM radio and doesn't come with the case and armband(In the US both the n200 and Nano Plus have FM and the case and armband. In other places the case and armband might not be included). I would tend to want the Nano Plus if it is close in price to the n200 since going forward firmware upgrades for it will probably be available for longer than for the n200. Some of the earlier n200 firmware does have issues, especially that before .2 . If you do decide to buy an n200 you should plan to do a firmware upgrade as soon as you get it. It is not easy to tell what firmware an n200 will have just by looking at the package. If the price of the Nano Plus is $20 or more above that of the same capacity n200, then I would prefer an n200. If the Nano Plus is only $0 more then I would prefer the Nano Plus. Between those I guess it is a toss up.

Toshiba STOR.E TV+ firmware upgrade

Hello,
Is there any unofficial firmware upgrade for the STOR.E TV+ product series? I can clearly see that there's no official firmware upgrade...
The one shipping with the product looks like "work in progress" (you can see this throughout the entire user interface, which is clumsy and very "90s", but especially if you access the device using your browser - though this one could be useful if your math is rusty and need a little help to perform basic additions :) ).
Moreover, despite the fact that the product is on the market for over 1 year now, there's no firmware upgrade available (despite the obvious need for one). Sometimes I wonder when would have been the release date if the product's time to market would have been extended in order to have a fully functional product upon the release!
@ Toshiba developers: if you don't bother to release a firmware at least give the code "as is" to the community. This way you will certainly find someone willing to do (out of pure passion) whatever you were supposed to do (for the money you make as developers, part of those we pay for this product as customers).
Thanks.

Hi there,
As expected, the software is... archaic!
You can telnet into your box (user: root, no password required) and you'll see the software specs: it is based on BusyBox 1.1.3! There's nothing wrong with BusyBox (a Debian-based Linux distribution, originally intended to run from a single floppy disk, but now able to run to almost anything: phones, routers, NASs...), except for the version: 1.1.3 has been released on May 17, 2006! (Yes, it was already 4 years old when Toshiba decided to put the STOR.E TV+ on the market!).
The newest version is 1.19.3, released on October 29, 2011 (and, if you follow the release notes, there have been some tremendous improvements form 2006 to 2011!).
So.. Toshiba guys, when can we expect an update? (I sure would like to have a proof that you're actually working!)
It is certainly not enough to just throw an update to the CLI-based code; it must be linked to the remote and OSD as well (besides, since Toshiba is not mentioned in the products list on the BusyBox site, I don't expect them to have been used an open code). So just changing the routines, without changing the way they're called for, is useless, and could brick your product.

Creative Zen Microphoto - "Firmware upgrade failed&qu

Hi,
two days ago my Zen Microphoto started in "Recovery Mode".
I had no means of getting out. I first selected "Clean Up" and rebooted, still "Recovery Mode".
Then I downloaded the latest firmware version for it:
ZENMicroPhoto_PCFW_L6__3_0.exe
Then I selected "Upgrade Firmware", acknowledged with "Yes", the firmware was deleted, but the windows firmware application said "no player connected" after connecting the player.
Okay, after googling a bit, I found out that I needed to downgrade from WMP to WMP 0.
I (painfully) did this and after installing an additional Registry Key via fixup.cmd the
ZENMicroPhoto_PCFW_L6__3_0.exe
detected the player (hurray!). It showed "Current Player Firmware Version .20.0 " and "Upgrade File Version .3.0".
When clicking on "Upgrade" at the windows application, the blue progress bar appeared and the player showed "Recovery Mode" and a blinking USB logo.
What it did NOT show afterwards was a gear symbol with "Upgrading firmware" (which I found on a screenshot in the internet).
When the blue progress bar of the windows firmware upgrade application reached about 85% it halted and after minute the windows firmware application showed "Firmware upgrade failed!" while the player only showed a black screen with "Recovery Mode" and the green battery symbol at the top.
I also tried the same procedure with
ZenMicroPhotoP4S_PCFW_LB__20_0.exe with the same result: "Firmware upgrade failed!"
Any ideas how to "repair" the player

Thanks for help.
Major problem solved.
Already upgraded to new firmware.
I do it by:
1. uninstall all creative application and plugin.
2. using registry cleaner to clean the registry.
3. downgrade WMP to WMP0
4. Detected by WMP as MTP device, loading firmware upgrade, closed WMP. upgraded.
Now it Working fine already, just still have some problem is:
. Only WMP can detect it, all creative application can't detect it..
thanks anyway.

Vision:M - "Firmware upgrade failed!&qu

After spending several long, long hours rolling back WMP, trying different USB ports, installing and uninstalling various software, and borrowing friends' computers, I FINALLY got the firmware upgrade software to recognize my mp3 player. With great delight and an intense feeling of satisfaction, I clicked the "Upgrade" button and waited for several minutes, only to get a "Firmware upgrade failed!" message. I've tried the "Reload Firmware" option more than once, only to receive the very discouraging "Harddisk Problem". I've tried everything I can think of, from formatting to rebooting to resetting to reloading, but to no avail. I'm now left, like so many others, with a $300 bookend. Now what? I'm completely demoralized.

Well, being the stubborn person that I am,?I didn't listen to your advice andYesterday, against all odds from what I read on this forum, and being told that I would end up with an expensi've paperweight,? I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my Zen Vision M 30MB. ?I downloaded the newest firmware .6, saved it on my laptop which runs WMP 0, disabled all applications, including Norton and virus and spyware programs, as well as Creative's detector, connected my Zen Vision M to the USB dri've, double clicked the new firmware file, and followed the instructions. The new firmware started installing, within 3 minutes my player rebooted and then the library started rebuilding and within 5 minutes the process was SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED!!!!!My player is working better than ever, it has all the new upgrades, album art, never went into Recovery Mode, and most important of all, I didn't lose any of my 2500 songs, hundreds of photos, slideshows and numerous videos, even my personal wallpaper and themes remained the same. I subsequently took the player to my desktop which runs WMP to test it'sand lo and behold, my player was immediately recognized, i transferred music and pictures without any problem and my player is now drag and drop compliant ?through Windows Explorer. My faith in Creative is unfaltering, I also own a MUVO TX FM, a Zen Micro and a Zen Sleek Photo and never had any problem with any of them.

Firmware upgrade failed, printer now say i has firmware version 0. attention light lights up

Hey all
I had a problem printing a pdf on my mac, and then tried to upgrade my mac driver and printer firmware.
But the firmware upgrade failed for some unknown reason. And now the printer just have the ready and attentions lights on constantly.
I have tried to restart and reset the printer many times, and tried the HP firmware upgrade utility several times, with no luck. It just say it was "failed to upgrade"
Any idea what to do ??
My printer is a HP Laserjet Pro CP1025nw
Thanks
Jan

Hello Jan
It definitely sounds like the firmware update failed. Firmware is like a devices Operating System. Without it, it can't do much. This is backed by the "failed" message and that your printer reports it has version 0.
The printer will need to be serviced. Please call HP Phone Support at 1-800-474-6836.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
