MSI 538 - prob with firmware update

I have seen that many had this same prob with this mp3 player.I tryed to update my ms-5538 and got message "Unidentified NOR Flash type".Set usb 1.1 nothing hapens, tryed other comps-same thing.Please help,what to do.

the links don't seem to be working properly at the moment, this is the file you need:
http://us2.msi.com.tw/files/downloads/frm_exe/MS5538FW_v1.11.03.zip
you can ignore the instructions in the ReadMe file. extract all the files in the zip, connect your 538 player (ensuring it is recognised and working correctly) and then run the FWISP.exe program file to update the firmware
PS if your player is currently working fine with no problems then you do not need to update the firmware

Help: Stuck in an infinite loop with firmware update

Need some help here.
I have a 2013 21.5" iMac, running Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.
Recently, during a firmware update, my kids pulled the cord (they claim innocence). Now, when I boot the machine, it goes to the white firmware update screen, does the full progress bar, and then shuts down.
It doesn't restart itself.
When I power it back on, it does the firmware update again.
How can I fix this? I have access to other Macs, USB keydrives, Firewire cable, etc. Just need to know exactly what to do. Tried searching the web, but didn't find an answer for this situation. I'd rather resolve myself than truck it down to the Apple Store.

You can try this:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If that doesn't work, see below.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Whats on with firmware updates?

hi again,ive been planing to update my firmware to its new version becoz maybe updating firmware can resolve my problem bout connecting to secured wifi.but i was confused and little bit scared becoz of some comments and opinions of some user here and outside this site.theres a good comments but also have bad.so i want to know if updating a firmware is good and really need for a phone?does it fixed some problem,errors,bugs?what if not?what if the effect is not good and just causing a problem,can i set that again to its original settings and firmware like when i buy?

You cannot roll back your fw after updateing. There are also a tiny tiny bit of risk of getting in trouble by updating, but prepairing your computer for it, it often goes verry well.
I've always updated my devices n95 8 gb, e71, 5800, n97 and never had any issues with the update process nor having the feeling of that the older fw was better.
But if youre device is working pretty well for you, and you've searched around a checked that you don't need any of the new features that a fw may contain, - you might as well be fine without updating.
Before updating I always make sure I've backed up my phone content and made sure I've no computer problems and that my computer is running the latest os updates etc. - I usually turn off AV and firewall too.
Then I update and after that I perform a soft reset and a format of mass memory before reinstalling my back up. - By doing these steps when updating, I've always got a good experience and got a faster and more responsive device.
If youre FW update should make youre device worse, you can always take it to a Nokia care point and let them straght it out. - After you've of course reinstalled the update.
All in all, I would update - and if you do the right things it's safe to update.
New fw can bring new bugs to the device, but it usually fixes more that it ruins!
Check if you can update by FOTA (firmware over the air) on your device. - I would use that method over NSU/ovisuite on your pc any time.

E-61 changed keyboard with firmware update

Hi,
I'm a U.S. E-61 user. I recently upgraded the firmware on my device using the phone update software found at http://www.europe.nokia.com/A4176089?E61.
Everything works fine except for my keyboard. Now, my "@" sign, along with a few other keys, displays an Arabic character. Additionally, some shift/function keys are incorrect.
Anyone have any idea about how to get back to my previous keyboard layout?
Thanks,
Talib

I have an E61, code 05300096, which I now understand should be the Euro-Z with an Arabic keyboard ... but mine has what I believe is the UK keybord.
I'm one of the many that are now suffering with the keyboard layout issue after using the Software Updater to move to the new firmware (2.0618.06.05).
First ... to anyone reading this, check your location code under the battery BEFORE doing this firmware update. Unfortunately I did not learn of this forum until after I started trying to fix this problem.
I've read assertions that mine is a grey market phone but I'm now angry beyond words that I bought this phone from a legit vendor, paid retail price ... and the keyboard worked fine before the update ... and Nokia's not providing me a means to update with an alternate product code to correct my keyboard issue ... and there is no way to go back.
Some vendors even caution about firmware updates, to the tune of "update only if you are directed to" where Nokia's web site recommends updating when software is available.
This is not a $3 phone. If Nokia is can't help us (there are many on the Internet citing this same issue), then I'm sure all us impacted by this will think twice before laying out big bucks for another Nokia product.
Help us out please.
Thanx! ... Phil

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,
Kris

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):

Help with Firmware Update... Doesn't recognize built-in isight

Hi,
I just installed the firmware update and now the computer will not recognize the built in isight (in ichat preferences it says there's no camera attached and when you launch photobooth it says there's no camera attahced). Anyone have any ideas? Since the firmware update was successfully installed I'm not sure if'how I can back out of it and if so what to do next...
Thanks!
Michael

I just applied the firmware update and had the same problem. So I restarted and all is well. Photo Booth recognizes the iSight and iMovie does as well. Did you try restarting after the iSight wasn't recognized?

Wireless Router MSI RG60SE - Problem With Firmware

Hi, I have firmware 3.5.3 on my router MSI RG60SE. I updated this firmware to other version from here:
h t t p://faenl.msi.com/index.php?dir=Networking/RG60SE/
Problem is, that I dont know, what kind of firmware is it. When I finish updatig firmware, I dont connet to admin mode, I dont see wifi network of router. Router is maybe broken.
I am affraid, that the firmware is some special kind of firmware. Because in one of .rar files, which are including of the firmware web (h t t p://faenl.msi.com/index.php?dir=Networking/RG60SE/firmware/), contain picture. On the picture is depicted print screen from admin mode of the router RG60SE and there is available option ENABLE BRIDGES. In old firmware this option I never seen. Here is a picture with these option:
h t t p://img268.imageshack.us/img268/8885/nlw.bmp
Please, advise me, what am I doing with it. Because, none of my devices cant connect. And I dont know connect to admin mode of router. Thanks

No idea why it blocks it.
Silly is that it does work upto the last trace.
Have you tried a ping with a larger byte size?
You do know that ping is working with extreme small blocks by default.
I just noticed Google refuses to accept large packets!
Have you tried other routes except Google?

I have an ancient Zen...Need support with firmware updates/itunes use/drivers/idk what the heck e

I have a really really old Zen. It's full title is "Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra" or something of the sort. Recently I bought a ton of music off iTunes and realized I could not burn it to CDs and could not transfer it to my Creative using the software I'm currently using. And then, someone told me that there was a "pulg-in" that could be downloaded to transfer iTunes music to my Creative. (She also had the same player) Now the only problem is... I've never updated software for my Creative, never downloaded anyhting other than music to it. And I have no idea where to start. If anyone knows what I have to do... or where to start, please please please let me know. It would be really nice to get my music from iTunes to my Creative.
My specs - For the Creative Medai Source organizer I'm running the 2.02.06 version. And for the actual player I have no idea. Probably somethign similiar I'm pretty sure the player was bought in 2003... If someone tells me how to check the players verision I'll gladly do it.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Due to the age of the player, I imagine it's extremely unlikely that Creative will update software and firmware so that your player will work with newer OS. I fear the same thing happening to my Zen Touch - it's a great bit of kit, built like a tank, surperb sound quality, battery still lasts forever, but the latest PlaysForSure firmware upgrade is probably going to be the last and then my player will be obsolete. No company is going to support old products forever - how will they sell their latest products? This built-in lifespan of?many electronic devices is a sign of our consumer market I'm afraid.

Problems with firmware update 2.00.12 (Zen Mic

What version of the firmware is on the Micro now (before 2.00.2)?
BTW, when I installed .02.05 over .0.03, it also hung in the reboot phase. I disconnected, then went in Rescue Mode, did a Reload OS, and ran the installer again.
Oh, and make sure to disable any MediaSource sniffer, if it's acti've...

Help with firmware update

Hey all.
I recently bought a new CPU upgrade to speed me up a bit. I need to update my firmware but I think I can only update it in the classic environment. Is there anyway I can get my firmware up to 4.2.8 without using the classic environment?
Thanks
PowerMac G4 Sawtooth 450 mHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) 704mb RAM 27gb 250gb

Yeah I checked the system profiler and I'm running Boot ROM Version: 3.2.4f1.
I checked the Software Update to see if I could update it, but no dice. Do I need to buy 9.1, 9.2.1 etc. classic? Can you walk me through the steps on how to update it using classic? I'm not posotive on how to do it. I think I have an idea but if you could walk me throught that would be great.

Problem with Firmware update for nokia 5800 xm ver...

I updated my nokia 5800 xpressmusic yesterday to version 40.0.005 and everything is ok, apart from I can't access my dialer or my contacts from my home screen, so how is it possible to make any calls? Can anyone help me please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

jjegen seems to have differently than I. From what I see, tapping on the dialler and contacts on homescreen does nothing?
Your phone settings have had trouble. I would suggest restoring factory settings.
Go to MainMenu>green button>you will see the dialler. Type in *#7780# and enter your security code.
If that does not work:
Soft reset is *#7370# - this deletes all data on phone memory so make sure you have a backup.
OR
A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
2.) Reinsert battery
3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

MSI GT680 Laptop BD Combo firmware update ?

I have an MSI GT680 laptop.
It's a quite nice laptop except for one thing.
The Blu-Ray Combo drive takes a long time to recogise blank DVD media and regularly thinks they are audio discs.
The drive is a TSSTcorpDVDWBD TS-LB23A and other manufacturers have provided firmware updates for this issue.
Does MSI also have a firmware update ?

MSI support have sent me a link to the wrong firmware for my system.
I've told then it's wrong and told them what Blu-Ray combo my notebook came with but there is not response.
My reply to MSI support is:
The download you have provided does not seem to be correct for my notebook.
When I run the executable "DVDRAM_GT40N_ZPO_SL02_1.exe" it gives an error message: "Valid ATAPI device can not be found!!! F/W model is DVDRAM GT40N ."
My notebook is equipped with the Blu-Ray combo drive that TSST WIN INQUIRY 1.03.1 identifies as:
DRIVE: TSSTcorpDVDWBD TS-LB23A TM00
MODEL NAME : TSSTcorpDVDWBD TS-LB23A
VERSION : TM00
OEM Code : TM
See attached image.
Could you please supply the firmware update for this ?
Is anyone here able to help ?
Not happy with MSI support so far.

Firmware Updates in North America (NAM devices) - ...

After reading the UK campaign for equality post - I thought I'd start one for us North American folks.
As a loyal (but now beginning to waver) owner of Nokia devices since 1998.. it's always been a sad state of affairs in terms of upgrades, and getting new devices, especially compared to the rest of the world, PERIOD.
While I realize that our phones may require a slightly different chipset because of the odd ball frequencies that our areas use - there is no sane or logical reason why we get shafted on model firmware updates otherwise. While I do not have a hardware engineering degree - I cannot see why the primary functions of firmware updates cannot be easily ported over to the NAM versons of Nokia phones.
While a lot of you out there have valid complaints (like the UK) in release time - and do eventually get them. We in the NAM market have been consistently.. well, screwed, is the only way that I can think of it. I have consistently made it a point to buy Unlocked and unbranded devices DIRECTLY from Nokia USA so that I can have flexibility and know that I will eventyally, hopefully,get some sort of update.
With all the new N and E series devices that I have owned - N95-3, N85-3, E75-2, E65, N79 come to mind - we have been consistently, and systematically been delayed as candidates for firmware releases. Example: N95-3 - The was launched as a FLAGSHIP device. All OTHER versions of the N95 got and received a v30 upgrade - the n95-3 didn't even get it as a possibility until almost 7 months later!!! E75 - a lot of you got the v200 upgrade and things work perfectly - I should know - I have a friend who has a E75-1 handset, and we compare notes and see how sad and slow my device is! We're still on v110! N85 - the same way, MONTHS later. It goes on and on.
I mean, if you're NOT going to support a device - that's fine - just TELL us upfront. Don't tease us with versions of firmware for other practically identical devices - and then have your North American support counter parts completely clueless as to any news whatsoever. If you're not going to support the product with firmware updates - just tell me, and I'll make my decisions to purchase, or not, accordingly.At least with other mobile manufacturers - I know there is a set steady time frame of support and so on.
What's even worse than the tease with the other versions of firmware, is the NokiaUSA site itself. You go there, and you see that OH - hey! There's apparently a new version of firmware available for my device on the 'pretty' pages that allow you to select your device. *BUT* whenever you type in a NAM device code on the actual check page - it's never available at the same time as the rest of the family of devices. Heck, we're lucky if we are only 1 revision behind for most, if not all, devices! If you're not going to give us the updates - then make sure your localized website doesn't even mention it! This false hope is the worst wound of all!
And yes, I do realize that Nokia does not have the market share in the NAM market as it would like - but helping us 1st adopters to have wonderful working devices is probably your best form of advertising to people who've never even seen the devices before! I don't know how many of my friends and colleagues have bought Nokia devices because they see how well they CAN work as compared to what they are used to! You want market share? well, help us, to help you!
North American users please chime in and add kudos to this if you feel the same way!

Nokia Senior Managers,
I want to help you. So do all the other customers on this site. The 5800 is the best phone on the market, but it needs the updated firmware (v.4) in NAM as soon as poosible.
Other suggestions (places you are doing well and need help).
Doing well - maps (on-device with GPS is much much better solution than wireless network based only - MARKET this fact, where is the advertising??) and push e-mail. You should make the push e-mail free for life on your smartphones, like you did with maps (then market along with free mapping). This would eliminate Android and Blackberry given the technology and price point.
Need more work - ease of set-up, user interface, music, and apps. All of these need to be improved to take on Apple. It took two full days to set up my phone (before installing music). That is way too long. Everything is convoluted, like it was developed on Mars. This could be one CD that comes with the phone and make everthing easy, or just pre-loaded so you can turn-on and go. The touch screen user interface is ok, but could be much better (more homescreen choices, etc.) Regarding music, don't try to sell, just make a simple pass-through that works well, leave selling (or sharing) music to others. (maybe buy MediaMonkey and incorporate to have a good universal music management program) Regarding apps, this is moving in the right direction, but you need to do more. More apps, make them free, and partner like crazy with media companies, U.S. universities (who are developing for all other smartphones except Nokia through Blackboard, etc.), and any other company/organization that has a cool app. This is the sizzle, which in the U.S. sells more than the steak.
Good luck and let us know if we can be of assistance.

SSH changes vs future firmware update

Hullo, I have made some changes to WD My Cloud via SHH: I disabled ipv6;I stopped two services through crontab (S85wdmcserverd and S86wdphotodbmergerd)etc, according to http://blog.cloud-client.info/?p=1365 In case of future firmware update and I perform the installation will the changes done be overwritten?Would be advisable to accept the update in the future? Thank you in advance.

Indeed, an answer from a user that has experienced the aggravation of firmware updating and vowed never again will he update; unless he has two clouds (one to update and the other to keep as backup). yes... once you update your firmware, all changes will be lost and if you had store script files in the /usr/local/sbin directory, they will be gone too... In a sense it is a good thing because if you had done a lot a changes, this reverts your device back to original factory state. Now I have heard rumors that if you by pass too many firmware updates and decided to upgrade from, lets say 3.04 (which happens to coincide with my current version) to the latest firmware 4.xxx which is probably 6 update versions ago, your device will be bricked. They say, the customers that runs and replies in this forum, that you will need to upgrade your firmware one by one until you reach the latest version. The other rumor is that many have updated their firmware to the latest version to find that nothing works, speed is slower, usb connections don't connect and of course drop outs are more frequent. Then there are those who says "I've upgraded and everything is fine", but that particular user probably has 5MB of data on his drive. Now here is what I suggest. 1. Always have another copy of your data which has nothing to do with firmware updates. Never ever copy your data to the Cloud device and erase the original unless you have another copy somewhere else. If you don't have another device and don't wish to buy another device, either leave the original on your original drive and use the Cloud as your backup, or subscribe to one of the free or paid online storage to keep a backup copy, but don't rely on the online storage as your only copy either, since places like Megaupload may disappear overnight and your only copy may be in the hands of the FBI.2. if you upgrade your firmware, it is better to have another Cloud for a 3rd backup. That way if something fails (and it would feel like it expecially when it goes white light on you), you have another device to use while the other one is being RMAed.3. If you have stopped the scans from occuring, the first thing that happens after an update is a flurry of activity from your Cloud trying to catch up on its scans and you might get locked out. So be prepared to SSH into it as soon as it lets you which is way way after the white light stays on for several hours (speaking from experience). 4. Once you SSH in, be prepare to repeat the fixes that you applied to your last version. For four years (or more), I haven't seen a switch to turn off the media scans although in version 3.04, they actually turned off the scans automatically dues to processor overload and it had a message on the UI telling me that the scans has been stopped and in order to restart the scans you must reboot (I didn't reboot for 6 months). You can skip firmware upgrades as I have without too much problems. Although they have fixed a couple of potential security threats, none of them should potentially affect you since you are behind a router. Although eventually I expect that I will have to upgrade my firmware simply for the reason that the matching iphone app will require the latest version. Perhaps on that day, I will sell my Cloud and move on to a more robust NAS. Good luck.. edit: the/bin/sh /etc/rc2.d/S86wdphotodbmergerd stop /bin/sh /etc/rc2.d/S85wdmcserverd stop are not permanent changes. If you reboot the Cloud, those two process will restart. The update-rc.d commands will disable the processes until you upgrade the firmware.

Need? firmware update on 1.8GH Dual processor G5 PwrMac for Tiger upgrade.

Equipment: refurbed 1.8Ghz PowerMac Dual processor, running OS10.3.9 Panther just fine. CPU's: PowerPC 970 (2.2); Bus speed: 900MHz. Boot Rom: 5.1.4fo
I read on Forums of problems some single processor 1.8 G5's have had with firmware updates prior to attempting to run OS 10.4.3 . I was about to install Tiger 10.4.3, now wonder if it will open a can of worms if I update firmware prior to the install. The reported problems were on machines with bus speed of 600mHz; as mine has a 900mHz bus speed, am I not likely to encounter that difficulty? I would appreciate any input from those familiar with this issue. Sounded like some of the affected owners were really stuck for a long time with that particular problem. Thanks.

Since you did not specify which particular model you have, it's hard to tell you whether a firmware update is even required. Open System Profiler and in the summary look for the Machine Model. If it's 7,2 then 5.1.4 is the current firmware version. If it's 7,3, then 5.1.8 is the current firmware version.
