How do I install a firmware upgrade on a 300 series switch?

I have downloaded the ros file, but can't find how to apply it. I know this information must be out there, but can't find it. Thanks

Hello Henry,
Once logged into the switch you will want to go to the following location Administration > File Management > Upgrade/Backup Firmware.
From here you will select the file you downloaded and upload it to the switch. Once this process is complete, the firmware will now be located on the switch on image 2.
You will then go to the Active Image tab right below. From here you will change to image 2. Please make sure to save your configuration at this point and then reboot the switch.

Firmware upgrade question for 300 series switches

Hi-
I have a customer that is investigating a strategy and solution for centralized firmware management of the 300 series switches. They have found an issue in the lab where they were trying to roll back the firmware to a previous version They can not roll back to the previous firmware version, which is desirable in the case of finding an issue in the new firmware that causes them to have need to rollback to a known working version.
We have read in the cisco 300 switch admin guide that there are two images (active and inactive) and that a new downloaded firmware always replaces the inactive image and is active until explicitly set. The admin guide does not mention inability to make an older firmware image as active image when the switch has previously run on a new release firmware image. My customer's engineers testing have informed me that an older image can not be made active after a newer image has booted. Can you please verify if this if a fallback is supposed to work as it is causing a lot of concern-
Thanks-
Jena

What firmware is the switches currently on?
Major Changes and Defects Corrected
• Hardware version 1.0 devices that were upgraded to software version 1.1
can now be downgraded to software version 1.0. You must delete the
startup configuration file before rebooting the device to software version
1.0. Otherwise the device may have problems when booting up. You may
backup your running configuration before the reboot, and re-import the
configuration afterward. Major Changes and Defects Corrected

Wow psycho, 23k+ posts! You are quite the Overlord here!
Aside from voiding the warranty on a phone that has probably been out of warranty for at least a year, why is it against the forum rules? Symbian is open source now.... or didn't you get the memo?

How do I install the firmware update for LinkSys E900 router?

Hi,
I'm using Mac 10.7.5 and a few months back had purchased the E900 wireless router. It has firmware 1.0.03 installed and I noticed there is a 1.0.04 update. I downloaded the update, which is a .bin file, but I do not have a CD burner nor access to a Windows machine. How can I install the firmware update?
Thanks, - Dave
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Simple, with your wired computer (never wireless) just access the GUI in the router and perform the firmware update. Just point to the .bin file and away you go. Make sure to hard reset the router and reconfigure it after you are done.

@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.

How do I install new firmware for WRT160N?

Okay, I'm having the same DNS problems that everyone else seems to be having with this router. Wireless devices work fine, but my desk PC consistently fails to connect. If one of the wireless devices is actively sending/receiving packets, my desk machine works fine. I have a WRT160N v2 and the firmware version is 2.0.02, build 11 (the notorious one). My PC is a Vista 64 bit OS.
I saw they have a new version of the firmware (2.0.03), which I have downloaded (to hdd). Can anyone explain (in step by step, simple terms) how this ignoramus can install the new firmware (assuming of course, that this new version will solve my connection problems). TIA for any information/instructions you all can provide...

Upgrading the firmware resolves many problem, so you can try it...
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"
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...

Download and Install RV180W Firmware Upgrade

I received a warning when I accessed the router site which indicated;
"Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from 192.168.50.1 (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards)."
I have downloaded the firmware upgrade. However, when I execute the file, it executes a command to burn file to my DVD drive.
When allow the command to proceed, window returns the following;
"The selected disc image file isn't valid."
Any suggestions on how to proceed with upgrading the firmware.

Hi,
Please follow the procedure mentioned below to proceed with upgrading the firmware
Upgrading Firmware
Cisco RV180/RV180W Administration Guide
Upgrading Firmware
CAUTION During a firmware upgrade, do not try to go online, turn off the device, shut down
the PC, or interrupt the process in any way until the operation is complete. This
process takes about a minute, including the reboot process. Interrupting the
upgrade process at specific points when the flash is being written to may corrupt
the flash memory and render the router unusable.
You can upgrade to a newer firmware version from the Administration > Firmware
Upgrade page. To upgrade:
STEP 1 Click Browse, locate and select the downloaded firmware, and click Upload.
STEP 2 (Optional) Check the box to reset all configuration and settings to the default
values. Do not check this box if you want to keep any settings you have changed
on the router!
STEP 3 Click Start Firmware Upgrade. After the new firmware image is validated, the new
image is written to flash, and the router is automatically rebooted with the new
firmware. Choose Status > System Summary to make sure the router installed the
new firmware version.
And then to reboot it
To reboot the router, choose Administration > Reboot Router. Click Reboot.

How do I install iPhone Firmware without Errors???

ok folks, here it is:
Macbook Pro 8GB Ram
Mac OSX Lion 10.7.2
iTunes 10.5.2 64bit
and a dead iPhone 4 CDMA :-(
iPhone stopped starting up Oct 9th, 2011 and was fully updated at the time. I tried countless suggestions then, have resumed troubleshooting this week.
it's fully charged and will not turn on. it displays the prompt to connect iPhone to iTunes via USB.
These are the variety of steps I've tried (many of these worked for others. Try them if you are experiencing problems) :
Failed for me: in iTunes, I clicked restore. Apple downloaded latest ipsw firmware, extracted software, stopped at error #3002 :-(
Failed for me: Since apple downloaded v5.0.1 and failed, I downloaded "iPhone3,3_4.2.9_8E501_Restore.ipsw" & "iPhone3,3_4.2.10_8E600_Restore.ipsw" & "iPhone3,3_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw" via third party sites. in iTunes, I held down "option", clicked restore, and selected one of the newly downloaded ipsw files. iTunes successfully extracted the ipsw software but gave me several errors including #3002, #3001, #3194, #1611, #1602 :-(
Failed for me: forced iPhone into DFU mode (Device Firmware Update)
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
then tried to restore with both apple and third party ipsw.
got more errors. :-(
Failed for me:
Closed iTunes
Opened Finder. Clicked "Go" - "Go to Folder..."
Typed /etc/ looked for "host" file and opened
deleted the last line containing gs.apple.com
Saved host file to desktop, unchecking "include .txt"
deleted original host file. took edited host file saved on desktop and dragged to where original host files was
authenticated it with mac administrater name and password
closed finder. opened iTunes. Forced iPhone into DFU. clicked restore.
#Error 1602 :-(
Failed for me: same everything as above but instead of deleting last line, replaced it with this one:
"#74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com" (this is the Cydia server address)
Same error #1602 :-(
Failed for me: When iTunes is trying to restore, part of the process is the rebooting of the iPhone, but it cannot boot up, so it gets stuck in this endless cycle of trying to reboot. the apple logo will appear for 30sec then disappear, then reappear, then disappear, etc.
Failed for me: I used redsn0w to "Recovery Fix" and all other options redsn0w offers. Nothing :-(
Failed for me: I tried installing Cydia via redSn0w, entered DFU, selected different ipsw's to use, and it always gets stuck on waiting to reboot. the apple logo keeps cycling without stop until I unplug or use redsn0w to recovery fix.
Failed for me: I also used TinyUmbrella to recover from the same cycle. Nothing :-( I don't have a saved SHSH, so I cannot start a TSS server
Failed for me: I've tried rebooting my mac. I've tried editing my "host" file various ways. I've tried restoring original host file. I've tried using different USB cables. I've tried all different USB ports. I simply cannot get my iPhone to boot up past the apple logo. Apple won't even look at it without $200 thrown at them.
As you can see I've experienced a lot of FAILURES :-(
I've successfully restored my iPod touch in the past, my Dad's iPad, and my brother's iPhone with no problems.
Because of wonderful experiences in the past, I declined AppleCare. Why is this iDevice being so problematic?
I NEED suggestions other than what I've tried thus far. PLEASE HELP!!!

thanks for the suggestion. This was just a simple tutorial on doing a regular restore through Apple. I've tried that already and it doesn't work. I'm sure that Apple downloaded the iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) through my iTues. When iTunes tries to install the firmware on my iPhone, however, that's when the errors start popping up. When I try restoring in DFU mode, my iPhone gets stuck in rebooting over and over again.
It seems like I'm getting some kind of error even before it starts putting any firmware on my iPhone. I've never got to the part where there is a progress bar underneath the apple logo. Any other suggestions?

How do I install memory into the Pavilion 17z-F2 series laptops?

How do I install memory into the Pavilion 17z-F (17z-F200, product L2H13AV) series laptops?
HP appears to have no maintenance guide available for this model series. What's up with that?
Please, do not offer the generic (and out-of-date) Pavilion 17 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. It does not appear to apply to the 17z-F series. This guide instructs to remove the bottom service panel which I could have figured that out on my own. However, the 17z-F series does not appear to have any removable panels at all. I took an up-close look at the Pavilion 17z-F100. And, it does not have any removable panels on the underside, except for the battery. So, I presume the 17z-F200 to be the same.
I am a computer technician. And, this is the first laptop I have seen without any service panels. I am probably going to have to disassemble the entire outer-shell to install memory (or to replace the hard disk drive once the time comes). But, every laptop I have worked on in the past had its own special array of hidden screws or special tricks for disassembly. So, having a maintenance guide is a necessity to avoid damaging plastic mounts, clips, guides, etc.
This question was solved.

How about this one:
Pavilion 17z Manual
Don't get me started on this. It's one of my pet peeves, too. HP is not the only one doing this. Acer and Toshiba, etc. also are selling "closed" systems now. I hate it. I will absolutely never knowingly buy one but I am spending a lot of time here answering questions just like this. Good luck and let us know how you do. Sounds like you will be fine.

HT1237 How can I install the firmware without an installed operating system?

I'm trying to update the firmware on a mid2010 macbook pro whose hard drive failed. In order to use Internet Recovery I need to update the firmware. I don't have an OS to boot to YET so I'm no sure how to use the DMG file via a direct boot.

I started down this path because as per http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/ it says "if your Mac problem is a little less common — your hard drive has failed or you’ve installed a hard drive without OS X, for example — Internet Recovery takes over automatically". After doing some research I see that in order to get Internet Recovery to work you need an upgraded firmware, hence my opening question. Also at that link it says "Not all Macs running OS X Lion are enabled for Internet Recovery. But Apple still has you covered with the Recovery Disk Assistant." so I tried going down the Recovery Disk path. To be honest, w/o the original restore media, I wasn't expecting any of this to work, but the language on the macos/recovery site makes it seem like it is possible.
It is very possible but you need to create the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, Recovery HD USB drive, on the computer it is going to be used on from the Recovery HD partition that is on that computer when Lion and the R-HD is on that system.
In all honesty Apple should have a method and instruction on how to create a REAL Lion Install Thumb drive or DVD if you like. In stead of this STUPID Download system.

How i can install old firmware?

i have an E71 and i update new firmware(300.21.012) but i cant type a letter while i am writing sms, i type letters after a few seconds it appear so i want to install my previous firmware 210.21.006 but i dont know how i can do it?
are there any way to install my previous firmware?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is no way to get an old FW on your phone without voiding the warranty (topics that are not discussed here) and a Nokia Care Point won´t do it for the reasons mentioned above.
I know this doesn´t solve your problem, but that´s what sometimes happens. A new firmware is released and there are things that stop working. All you can do is hope that Nokia will address this problem and release a new firmware as fast as possible...
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

How can I install my CS2 upgrade to my new macbook pro?

Help! I have a new Macbook pro and an old upgrade of CS2 photoshop (upgraded from Photoshop 6). I bought these two for a PC and was told in the Mac shop that I could run them on my fancy new machine..........apparently not, it won't install classic photoshop 6 as presumably it's too old. I also have CS2 Indesign but can't find the install button to press for that either......Am I screwed? I can't afford new programmes.

CS2 is the oldest version that can be upgraded to CS5. You may want to do that now before you lose the opportunity when CS6 comes out. You can upgrade and crossgrade to CS5 for Mac.
Another thought...
I run CS2 for Windows on Linux through Wine. It works fine. You could probably install Wine on Mac and do the same.
The salespeople might have been referring to running your Windows software on Mac with a virtual machine... with the help of such apps as VMWare Fusion or Parallels. These let you run Windows on top of Mac OS X without rebooting into a Windows partition. See the marketing line: "It Runs Windows Too".

AppTRK wont install after firmware upgrade (N95)

Hello i have recelntly updated to the newest firmware and im having trouble whilst installing apptrk on the mobile i transfer it to the phone and when i start the installation i get to the part where you choose where to install the app but when i choose either the phone mem or the memory card i get an error saying that the component is built in and i need the trk app to be installed in order to install some other aplications that i also need very much
Thanks in advance...

You can't do anything.
The new firmware stops these sorts of programs working.
Mainly because they can be used to install illegal applications etc.
There is no way of downgrading your firmware either before you ask.
