How to update recovery firmware through USB stick

Hello,
I have px4-300d and recently got an issue with iomega device not booting. The iomega logo is displayed and nothing happens after that. The OS is not booting. I fI conenct keyboard to USB port and press CTRL-ALT-DEL it reboots. So it is stuck somewhere in or before OS boot. Since I cannot connect monitor to this device, I need to find a way how to blindly recover the OS.
I heard some models have an option to use firmware upgrade from the USB stick. I believe it is the same case for this device. Can you suggest me how can I load new recovery fimrware from the USB disk to try to recover the device?
Thanks.
Solved!

Hi climb4hope,
Is your device still covered by the warranty? It is possible to reimage the device's firmware with a USB stick. However, you will have to contact technical support for the file and process. You can contact support by clicking on the following link: LenovoEMC Support Contact Page

How to update recovery firmware through USB stick ix2-dl

Hi, can someone help me - please. My ix2-dl doesn't work. Power led (red) blink all the time. NAS doesn't receive IP address so I can't get there via web browser. I think it is good idea to recovery firmware from USB but I don't know how can I do it. I can't find any help in this topic. Thanks in advance Chris

I would recommend calling tech support directly. They should be able to supply you with the imager/firmware to flash the unit.

I have a new MacBook Air and don't know how to get info from my USB stick and get info from my SD card. Can anyone help, please?

Plug the stick and/or card into the appropriate slots on the side of your Air. Do you see icons for the devices appear on the desktop? Click into them to see what files are there.

HT204382 How do I watch video from USB sticks please Thomas

Hello World, who knows how to watch video from a USB stick??

You click on the USB icon in a Finder window, and double-click the video....
Where the video is (hard drive, DVD drive, USB, network) makes no difference to OS X.
If you are having trouble making QuickTime play a particular video, it's probably because QuickTime doesn't support a lot of formats. Save yourself a lot of hassle and download the free VLC videoplayer and use that for playing your videos (whatever the format, VLC will probably play it):

BIOS Recovery using a USB stick for S10-3t

im from south africa and am having trouble contacting my support center.
i tried to flash my bios and my netbook won't start up now, and i need to recover my bios manually.
please help me with the following:
1. procedure to use my usb stick as a recovery disk, what files need to be on it, and how to make it bootable from my s10-3t.
2. how to use the usb stick to recover my bios and boot my netbook.
please help :-)

Hi thanks yigit.
I managed to contact the service provider, but they have a lead time of about 4 weeks for a simple repair like flashing the bios...
I have an estimate of around $70 from a reputable repair center to do the flashing, with a lead time of a few hours as they do the repair on-site.
My question: does the warranty that comes with the s10-3t cover flashing the bios? If not, would it be wise for me to have the flashing done by the other repair center, and not your local service provider?
(Its actually very inconvenient, as you only have the one company being a Lenovo partner in SA, with 2 branches. And they do not collect the device for repair...
Maybe if I explained exactly what I did to land in my situation it would be best to get the best help:
I wanted to use a PCI-E modem I had already, instead of purchasing a new one at around $200. My modem is a Sierra MC8755 with PID/VID of 1199:6804.
I upgraded from Windows 7 Starter to Ultimate, updated bios from lenovo's site, then tried to install only to get the error message "Unauthorized device installed. Please shut down and remove device"
I then found online forums saying to edit the bios.
I edited my bios (24CN62WW) at MOD5100.ROM, adding my modem ID where the Ericsson F3607gw: 0BDB_1905 ID's were with Hex editor. I switched the values as required, ie "99 11 04 68"
I flashed those successfully, but still got the error message.
I then read a post that stated that you may edit the POST with the phoenix bios editor, by checking and unchecking certain sectors to stop the checking of whitelisted devices on startup. After doing this, the bios was created successfully, the system restarted but failed to boot. It starts up, and then stops after the LED's come on, and the processor light flashes once.

1,1 running Lion with XP Boot (re-install and what should i use for recovery disk or usb stick)?

i am trying to give my 1,1 mac pro a little love and would like to keep this machine running lion. i also have a boot camp installation of XP on it.
1. can anyone give me instructions on how/whether i can basically do a fresh install of Lion on this machine and minimize the system so it is not cluttered up with all my previous software etc, etc while still maintaining the original XP boot camp partition which i really need to have?
2. can anyone clarify for me what i should have on hand /if/ i need to boot into recovery mode or some other safe boot mode? i recently ran into an issue where i may have had to use the old Disk Utility format function and there was a reference to booting using the DVD install disks. however i am really confused as to what i should have on hand. ALSO the last time i had to do something on this machine i was told to boot into the Recovery Partition and it appears for some reason (perhaps because i had a "non-standard" windows 7 boot camp installation on the drive at the time??) that there was no recovery partition created when i upgraded to Lion.
- /anyway/ i am finding that i have the two ORIGINAL install disks for the mac pro on hand, a Max OS X Leopard and a mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD on hand but i am thinking that i should be creating some kind of USB stick similar to the one i created with yosemite? actually, i am not even sure what this USB stick for yosemite is for but i guess i can use it to boot into safe mode or something?
THANKS for any help as i'd like to get this business under control a little better in case i have an issue.
i'd also like to install Lion so that there is a Recovery Partition if possible and i think this may be possible if i don't have the windows 7 partition in the machine when i do a fresh install. any help would be great. thanks.

You have to go out of your way to build the Installer Disk yourself. But this tool makes it easy, and this site contains instructions:
http://diskmakerx.com
the bootable installer is basically to re-install the OS if i have to
Yes.
the recovery partition is somehow for fixing a problem
Recovery can go and get you the software and re-download it and start the Install, and allows the use of Disk Utility and can reset passwords.
or is there some overlap?
Yes. Both give you access to the Utilities that used to be on the Installer DVD. Disk Utility to Repair or initialize and a few other tools that can allow you to set up to install on an otherwise-bare disk or change your password.
is "Safe Mode" something completely different
Safe Mode is a way to start the fully-Installed Operating System in a special way. It first does one pass of Disk Utility (Repair Disk) against the Boot Drive. [Normally this would require booting from a different drive to make repairs.] Then it loads a minimal set of Apple-only kernel extensions, and uses a one-size-fits-all screen resolution. Then it demands your Username and password to proceed.
From there you can fix settings, use the Finder to add or delete things, and check operation with minimal extensions versus all your daily-use extensions. Very helpful for debugging extension conflicts and graphics settings problems, and fixing damaged settings. The next Restart builds a new extensions cache.

Run Windows 8.1 on Mac Air 100%? How to update Mac Firmware?

I know it's possible to run Windows 100% on my Mac through BootCamp (I have small SSD hard drive so it is one or other). My question is if I install Mavericks on a USB thumb drive will I still receive firmware updates from Apple via keeping the USB updated? Or, will those firmware updates just stay on USB?
Thanks.

What a question. Theoretically, if you keep OS X Mavericks installed in a USB drive and it is updated, you will be able to receive firmware updates and to get them installed in your Mac.
To install firmware updates in your Mac, OS X copies the firmware to the EFI partition (a small partition at the start of the drive), and they are installed the next time your Mac starts up. This means that your USB drive with OS X Mavericks must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and have a GUID partition table. With this, all firmware updates will be installed to your computer.

How to create Recovery media as USB

Hi, Toshiba support told me to buy new recovery media from www.backupmedia.toshiba.eu for my Satellite t110.
I ordered the recovery media but it's on CD/DVD! This model doesn't have a CD/DVD drive..
Please let me know how I can create this recovery media on a USB stick. Please note that I don't have any of the Toshiba utilities on my T110.
Simple instructions please - I'm new at this.
Thanks
Phil

I used 4 DVD-R discs. They were on sale - 25 DYNEX discs for $7.
Go to: start/all programs/my toshiba/toshiba recovery media creator
Insert your 1st disc.
Select create and follow the prompts.
Label your discs with a disc marker - recovery disc 1, recovery disc 2, etc. or whatever you'll remember.
store them into individual envelopes or shells and put them in a safe place.
BTW: If your hd "crashes" you'll need a new hd.

How to update XML file through UCCX script ?

Hi,
I have an UCCX script with MENU step. One of the step is for technical support team. When caller chose this step, information about date and time of the call and calling number should be recorded on a XML file located on the web server.
This XML is uploaded into the web server , but I don't know how to update it through UCCX script.
Here is how the XML file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>CALL LOG</title>
<link></link>
<description>Support Call log</description>
<ttl>1</ttl>
<item>
<title>2011-08-24 14:56:39 - 00044 123 123 123</title>
<link></link>
<description></description>
</item
</channel>
</rss>
Any idea?
Thanks,
O

Hi
The 'keyword transform' step uses the template XML file to generate the actual XML file you want to post... the template would be a plain text file uploaded to the repository, and would look like so:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
CALL LOG
Support Call log
1
%%calldatetime%% - %%clinumber%%
Now - if you had that bit of XML, with correct time/number in it - have you verified know that you can definately just post that XML to a certain URL to get it on the server? Check with whoever manages that server exactly what you need to do to get it to appear - then worry about how you do that from UCCX. It may not be a matter of posting up that XML, you may need it in a different format or something..

Can't update N95 firmware as USB connection isn't ...

I'm currently trying to update the firmware on my N95. I have installed the latest version and even reinstalled the latest version of the USB cable driver.
But although PC Suite sees and communicates with the phone via the USB cable (Bluetooth is switched off as a connection method), the Nokia Software Updater keeps failing to detect the phone.
I have tried it with and without PC Suite running, I have tried it on different USB ports, I have tried plugging in the cable before the detection process and during it...but it will not detect the phone.
Everything else about the phone seems to be working correctly. Anyone have any ideas?

uninstall the PC Suites & Nokia Connectivity driver. and then download the PC Suite Cleanup from Nokia site. Install & run it.
Reboot computer & re-install the current PC Suites, wait until prompted to to connect whatever you have chosen(Cable or blue tooth, whatever). Download the latest software updater!
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

How to run fsck.vfat for USB-stick during cRIO-9030 boot?

Hi all,
we have a cRIO-9030 with a USB-stick. Sometimes after power loss the USB-stick filesystem (FAT32) gets corrupted and has to be checked/fixed. How can I configure cRIO LinuxRT to do that?
I've checked /etc/fstab, but it looks that the USB-stick is mounted somewhere else. I run mount - here is the line:
/dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc1 type vfat (ro,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,quiet,errors=remount-ro)
It would be nice if I can run fsck.vfat /dev/sdc1 every boot or when an error is detected.
Thanks in advance,
Nikolai

Hi NickViz,
My name is Ed form National Instruments Technical Support, I have researched into the topic and found that it is possible to use the 'System Exec.vi' to complete the command during the initialization of your RT application.
You simply need to input your commands as a string just as you would to command prompt/terminal (depending on OS), you can also execute commands via SSH however this is one way communication between the RT application and the command shell.
I have included some links below to articles which describe the methodology as well as give some further explanation into the NI Linux Real-Time OS.

http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14626/en/
I hope this is helpful and you achieve what it is you need, do note you will need to enable SSH scripting as described in the article on using PuTTY for your Real Time device.
Kind Regards,
Ed
