Hp Laserjet CP3525 Firmware update failure

I was trying to update the firmware on an HP color Laserjet CP3525 using a USB  connection using the instructions that were posted on the HP website for the Firmware upgrade.  It looked like everything was going well, but when the printer rebooted it never gets past the 6/6 screen on the LED screen.  I have left the printer in this condtion for several hours and it never gets past this area. I'm assuming that the Firmware upgrade caused the printer to do a hard crash and is not recoverable, but I'm hoping that someone might be able to help get this back up and working.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
This question was solved.

Well, in general if the firmware update was interrupted for any reason it would lead to this. This could be caused on the computer side (restarting/logging out/ending the process before it is complete) or in the cord that you are connected with if it is damaged in any way or not properly secured in the USB ports.  I am sorry that you are in this situation, I understand that in a situation with limited spending caps you would have legitimate concerns about updating your other machines. 
If you have any further questions or issues myself or one of my colleagues are on this forum almost 24/7. 
I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week, Bob!

  • Laserjet cp2025 firmware update failure

    My lasejet is USB connected and I've been trying to update the firmware to the latest version. I've done everything in the support area to get it to update but still no joy. The update runs and says it succesfully updated buy the smily face when it is done but the printer didn't do what HP says it was suppose to and verified by printing a config page. I've tried networking and still get the same results.
    Anyone have any idaes as to what might the problem , Me or the firmware update?

  • Does anyone know how to solve: "Firmware update failure. Disk write error"?

    Hi all,
    Here is the list of all what went wrong and where I am now:
    1. My Ipod worked well
    2. I wanted to update it, you know, the normal thing with Itunes
    3. Every time I tried, my computer froze. I was unable to add only one song (both automatically and manually).
    4. I took my external drive (where my music is) at work and tried again: same result.
    5. I decided to run the Updater I have on the CD that came with the Ipod.(2005-02-07; I usually avoid the newer version, having had once a problem when putting a newer version of Updater).
    6. The Updater was unable to operate any action on my Ipode (I don't remember the messages now).
    7. Like I tried what I describe here above like a hundred time. I decided to format the Ipod with Windows (My Computer, right click on the Ipod, format).
    8. It did and now I have only the famous folder with an exclamation mark on my Ipod.
    9. Now when I am running the Updater, it says it cannot Restore the factory settings giving this message "Firmware update failure. Disk write error".
    I would appreciate any help because, during the last 2 hours, I read and tried all I found on the Support Help here on the Apple web side without any result yet.
    Thank a lot for your answer

  • HP LaserJet 1518ni - Firmware update doesn't do anything

    Hello folks
    I am trying to update my HP LaserJet 1518ni to the latest Firmware (2013-11-08 , Version20130923, 4.22M).
    My current firmware datecode is: 20120110
    I went here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3422472
    Downloaded the file CP1510_Series_FW_Update-20130923.exe
    Turned Firewall and AntVirus OFF, ran the Executable with administrative priviliges - it says it found the printer and I see a progress bar and also the smiley at the end. But the printer is unimpressed and shows just "Ready" in the LCD, nothing changed: The files does simply nothing.
    Tried it via IP Port and also USB on another PC, same effect.
    What is going wrong?
    Where are the good old .RFU Files I just can TFTP to the printer...?
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Hello @TomPe , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you're experiencing firmware issues. I'd like to help!
    I would recommend performing a power reset on the printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Once you have run the doctor, try installing the firmware via this tool:
    HP Color LaserJet Printer Firmware Update Utility
    Also, can you print standalone?  I would recommend pressing the right arrow until you see reports, press OK, select diagnostics page, and press OK.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Firmware Update Failure? Extreme help needed

    I was trying to update my ipod but when i tried to restore it, it suddenly stopped, then it said firmware update failure. No my ipod is screwed up again. This is the second time. The first time i sent it away and they gave me a new one, i followed the directions they gave on updating and restoring to windows settings, but now my ipod shows the apple, then the exclamation mark folder with a website below that. i need help cuz i don't want to send it away again.

    ok i think i may have just fixed it, and for all of you who may run into this problem. I just tried restoring it on my friends computer, and i think i fixed the problem.

  • "Firmware Update Failure", please help

    Okay so my brand new 20GB iPod photo refuses to have the systems software loaded onto it, everytime I try and use the iPod Updater (yes I have the newest version) it says: "Firmware Update Failure. Disk write error." I've got it connected with USB 2.0, it shows up as a removable storage device in my computer but doesn't show up at all in iTunes.
    So if any of you know what's going on please give me a hand.

    JamesBond said:
    That means that USB2 port is not compatible with the iPod?
    I don't think so. More along the lines that the iPod is not USB 2.0 compliant, or properly certified, or it has a bug somewhere.
    Basicly if a device is USB 2.0 compliant, it will work with a USB 1.1 port, just very slowly.
    from www.usb.org, if a "device" has passed the certification and has earned the proper "High Speed USB" logo http://www.usb.org/developers/compliance/logo/usbhs125.gif it also HAS to work with a USB 1.0 port otherwise it won't earn the logo.
    Now, this begs the question... has the iPod passed it's tests and earned it's High Speed USB certification logo? I can't find any of Apples products that have the logo, can someone point me to them?
    Apple is a memeber of the USB Implementers Forum, Inc (and only has one person that is a member).
    You can find some good information about USB at www.usb.org. Specificly that it is no longer refered to as USB 2.0, but as "High Speed USB" (just semantics)

  • FOUND SOLUTION TO: "Firmware Update Failure.Diskwrite Error"

    I have found a solution to the:
    "FIRMWARE UPDATE FAILURE. DISKWRITE ERROR."
    Last night i re-encoded my mp3's to 128kbs, and then plugged my iPod Shuffle in, and it went crazy... i tried restoring and it kept giving me the error above!
    Anyways, here's a solution (that may require to be tried a couple of times)...
    If you keep getting this error, go to My Computer, then right click the iPod (maybe called "Removable Storage").
    Go to Format... and make sure its set at FAT32. Also make sure that "Quick Format" is unticked.
    Once this is done. Eject it. Plug it into another USB slot, and go to iPod Updater and restore. It should work.
    And then rename the ipod thru iTunes, and upload ur music on to it!
    Enjoy and Good luck!

    So are there any risks involved in formatting with windows?
    I just tried doing this and it won't format (I select the option but there is no response)

  • Getting "Firmware Update Failure" when restoring

    My ipod mini kept giving me the folder and exclamation point icon and resetting didn't work to make it stop. I tried a few times to restore, but it keeps giving me the message "Firmware Update Failure. Disk Write Error" whenever I try to restore. Now what do I do? My ipod still just gives me the folder icon.

    A couple of tricks to try:
    1) Plug in whatever was last connected (charger, peripheral) and then try rebooting. Sometimes it just wants to see the last config
    2) Try mounting on PC as USB drive (may take multiple tries). If successful, then REFORMAT just like an external HD.
    At that point, you can "start over" with iPod update.

  • Restore fails with "Firmware update failure. Disk write Error" message

    I am going totally bonkers with this one. My Shuffle stopped working suddenly.
    My iTunes was not able to read the contents of the iPOD and there seems to be a corrupt filesystem. After reviewing various posts, I have tried the following with little success:
    1. Tried Restore using the Updater tool that came with the Shuffle (2005-09-23). I kept getting the "Firmware update failure. Disk write Error"
    2. Downloaded the new updater tool (2006-03-23) and tried restore again. I got the same error message again.
    3. Tried formatting using Windows format, it is not able to complete the format
    4. Tried chkdsk. Get an error message saying "CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."
    5. Tried connecting it to a different computer and tried pretty much the same steps. Similar results.
    I am using USB 2.0 both on my current Thinkpad as well as the other computer I tried with.
    I am totally clueless and am not sure how to go about fixing this one. Though there have been lots of posts about this, I haven't been able to find a solution that works for me. Any thing else that I may have missed out which I can try?
    Thanks,

    hiya!
    just checking. have you worked through the possibilities from this document yet?
    "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
    given that you're connecting to a laptop, we'd better check on this possibility too:
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    ... and even though you aren't using a Toshiba, this technique might be worth a try (if all else fails):

  • HP LaserJet P1102 firmware update freezes

    HP LaserJet P1102w setup will not allow me to get the firmware update because it says I must complete all print jobs first. Only print job is the Test Page, which never printed at the end of the registration/install process.

    Hey @jmg616,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're having an issue running a firmware update to your HP Laserjet Pro P1102w. I would like to assist you with resolving this issue. However, I do have a few questions for your first before I can offer accurate support.
    What Operating System are you using with your printer?
    What's my OS?
    Is you printer connected through USB cable or Networked?
    If you have a print job in your print queue, like your test page that failed to print after you ran the installation of your printer, than a firmware update won't go through. A firmware update is sent to the printer like a print job so you need to make sure that the queue is empty.
    If you're using a Windows Operating System can I have you run the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool? This tool will 'fix printing' issues for you and should it detect any driver or software conflicts it will identify and let you know what the issue is. The tool will also attempt to fix the issue for you.
    HP Print and Scan Doctor
    Please let me know if the Print and Scan Doctor resolved your issue. Should you still be having problems than please respond with your Operating System and how your product is connected. Good luck!

  • HP Laserjet 4 Firmware Update

    I have a HP Laserjet 4 printer and I installed a JetDirect card on it but I don't have the MIO menu on it to setup TCPIP, so I figured I needed a firmware update.  But there is no firmware update listed on the hp website.  Does anyone have a firmware update for a HP Laserjet 4 printer that is later than 12/14/1992.  (Firmware Datecode:19921214)  Thanks!

    Hi.  I too am looking for firmware for this printer "Laserjet 4" .  I have a much older firmware installed on mine.  You mentioned in your posting that you have one from 1992.  Do you mind sending me a copy?

  • No network connection after hp laserjet m602 firmware update

    After updating firmware on our hp laserjet M602 printers, the printers are no longer communicating with our print server. I can't even print configuration pages, if the Network cable is connected.  The update completed successfully and I can print using a USB connection.  The Event Log displays the following:
    EVENT:           42.B0.01            Firmware:     23000331_377983                    
    Description: Missing String ID: en-US: Please refer to the Jetdirect Admin Guide_Text
    Additional Notes:
    Before firmware update:                                            After firmware update:
    Firmware Datecode: 20111217                                   Firmwar​e Datecode:  20130722        
    Firmware Revision: 2131305_192069                     Firmware Revision:    2300331_377983
    All Help will be greatly appreciated.... JP

    Try to turn on device while network cable is disconnected (standalone) and let it completely boot till READY status.
    Connect the network cable & note the front panel status (display & LED's both).  Also note if the LAN port LED's are ON.
    Hope that there is no data being processed by printer (data LED on control panel).  If yes, then you might need to delete any pending jobs (including firmware download initiated from computer - if pending in que as a job)
    If printer shows READY status without any data, then you may try printing printer internal documents using control panel menus.  Next step will be to access printer through web brower (EWS page) and confirm if the device is available for use in network.

  • Laserjet 1525nw firmware update for macintosh

    Printer HP LaserJet 1525 NW
    OS Mac OSX Lion 10.7.2
    I received an email from HP saying I needed to upgrade the firmware. I downloaded and ran the Mac installer. It crashes when it tries to download the firmware update from the internet. There is no explicit description of the error - the installer simply crashes. What am I supposed to do? I have tried repeatedly downloading the intaller in case the first copy was corrupt. The crash takes place consistently at the same point in the firmware installation process.
    This question was solved.

    You could try download directly from here to some removable media on another machine (in case your mac is acting up)? http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL34888/lj-86474-6/CP1520_Series_FW_Update-20111215.dmg
    The above firmware update utility is for the HP Color LaserJet Pro CP1520 series.
    This utility is for use on Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6, Mac OS X.
    The utility can be used with a USB connection or network connection. Be sure to use the firmware update utility that is specific to you printer model.
    This update is recommended for HP Color LaserJet Pro CP1520 series that has a firmware version prior to 20110329.
    This utility updates the printer firmware version to 20110329 (March 29, 2011).
    The firmware version can be found from "Setup Menu" -> "Service" -> "Firmware Datecode".
