MSI CR52-A2 Firmware upgraded ( MR!!! and better media support )

Here is a solution for many people's problems with slow burning CR52-A2
Thanks to clarkkent57
I found this -
http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=15157&highlight=msi
which suggests the CR52-A2 is the same drive as the optorite CW5205.
http://www.optorite.com/firmware.htm is the firmware page.
I just finished flashing my drive with the following.
CW5205(52x24x52) 190E017_cw5205.zip 2003.9.2
My New Optorite CW5205 has Mt. Rainer support.
It also recognizes all brands of media at the correct speed.
For the very first time, in more than a year of owning MSI 48x or 52x CDRW,
I was able to burn a CD at more than 32x.
It burned a CD at 52x without any problems.
Personally I don't recommend that anyone update firmware unless absolutely necessary.
Updating Firmware with a different companies firmware's is generally a BIG no no.
It worked for me, and has worked for other people, but you take a risk of making your hardware into a paperweight.
OPTORITE managed to updated their drives FOUR MONTHS AGO!
Why hasn't MSI updated their firmware?
BTW,
Optorite also has an even new version 210e017.zip dated 2003.12.26
190E worked for me so I didn't bother trying the newer version.

Old thread but thought those with the drive might be interested.
I just flashed 210E017 and worked for me as well. Seems quicker in all operations.
Sweeet!

E71 firmware upgrade failed and mobile software co...

I recently purchased a new E71 and on the same day I run the "Phone software upgrade". It took around 2-3 hours to download and upgrade the phone. I saw it was updating to 3.x framework from 2.x.
When I see after 2-3 hours what I saw that screen was blank, nothing on screen and keyboard light was on. I restared by removing the battery and restarted, but nothing happened. But on my PC upgrade was successful.
How this is possible. Is the framework upgrade is this much critical ? OR is there any other way around to upgrade the framwork of the phone?
After this problem I submitted my phone to nokia care and they installed the framework again, because it was corrupted. Now I want to upgrade the framework, so please let me know how can i do this easily.

Have a look at the link below for details on how to update your firmware. It is probably the same as the procedure you used the last time.

Updated: 08/05/07 - MSI P965 Neo-F Latest Official and BETA BIOS!

Dear All,
I've got an info from one of MSI Engineers for the DDR 800MHz RAMs support for MSI P965 Neo-F mainboard.
There'll be a BIOS v1.40 that enables the mainboard to support 1GB DDR 800MHz modules.
Another upcoming BIOS v1.50 will fixed the 2GB limitation on the board, allowing the board to run up to 4GB of DDR 800MHz RAMs.
I'll update this thread on any upcoming details that I can get.
I can't confirm when the BIOS will be officially released so please kindly have the patience to wait.
Best Regards,
Joe Chow.

Pentax K20D firmware upgrade 1.01 breaks Aperture support

I upgraded my Pentax K20D to a new firmware, 1.01
I used the PEF format since white balance in Aperture worked better with this format than with DNG.
Now I get the "Image format not supported" square in Aperture again.
Sigh!
I really want to use Aperture since it is a good program. But I do not want to use DNG
since this format has some white balance problems with Aperture.
I hope Apple will update the Raw format support to again support the K20D format.
Maybe Pentax changed a version number or something.
I think the format has not changed since both Photoshop and Pentax Photo Laborotory
can read the images without problems.
Anyone know how to report this problem to Apple engineers so that they may fix this?
Eskil...

Here is an easier "fix" from the Pentax SLR Talk Forum: (from timo)
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=28475746
"OK -- putting some stuff together from another helpful UNIX Pentaxian, Mac users can do the following.
1. Go here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
2. Download the Mac OS X package ExifTool-7.34.
3. The ExifTool installer should open up. Install, with your admin password
Now you have ExifTools installed. As mentioned previously, Windows users can use a GUI (graphic user interface) wrapper, but Mac users have to use the command line.
4. Download from your card the .PEF files to a folder. Download to a folder on the desktop, called "x" .
5. BACK UP THIS FOLDER NOW. Important: put the backed up .PEFs in a different folder.
6. In Applications -> Utilities, open up "Terminal"
7. In terminal type "cd" and the spacebar. Now, from the desktop, drag the folder with the .PEFs on to the Terminal window. The Mac will auto-complete for you the address. (We are going into a directory with the images.)
8. Now copy and paste the following (much easier than typing):
exiftool -Make="PENTAX Corporation" ~/Desktop/x/*.PEF
If you have the folder "x" open, you can watch ExifTool make copies of the original .PEF files and update the files with the new metadata that let's Aperture or iPhoto process those images.
9. Import into Aperture or iPhoto. Back up your vault or whatever.
10. Delete the contents of "x" when you're satisfied the .PEFs are what you want them to be."
Worked nicely for me - assuming the ONLY problem is the simple text change from PENTAX Corporation to PENTAX in the EXIF data.

Safari and HTML5 media support

Hello,
I see that Safari only supports the HTML5 audio and video tags if QuickTime Player is also installed on your PC or Mac.
I thought that the idea with these HTML tags were that it sholud not be necessary to install players to your browser.
Will it be necessary to install QuickTime in future versions of Safari to be able to run HTML5 media ?
I use Windows 7 and have just tried with Safari 5.1.1 + QuickTime 7.
Kind regards,
Martin

Thanks for the reply.
I do have Click2Flash 1.6b9 installed. I disabled the option "Play H.264 movies with Quicktime" as it caused problems in the way YouTube behaved.
Someone else's example: http://att.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=218947&d=1269127031
Parts of the page would just jump and act strangely. I'll try turning it back on to see if Safari 5 has remedied the problem.
However, it does then seem that full screen isn't working in YouTube without having a third party add-on. I'm guessing it's YouTube which need to provide the fix as Apple does seem to adhere more to standards.

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? I am not so sure...since my player was not for free too...Best Regards,PeterPS: The product is still within the "police period" of my dealer. And I did not just buy the product.

Firmware Upgrade for WRT54G

I have download latest firmware Version 8, I completed the firmware upgrade successfully, however on the router page right on the top it still show the earlier
version 1.02.
How do I checked whether I upgraded to Version 8. I have followed the firmware upgrade procedure and try the next lower version 6 but still show Version 1.02.
Is my router faulty, as it revert back to factory default after 1 month of new router
configuration.
Cheers!
Raymond Chang

On the tag all it means is that you have the version 5 of that router. Linksys will make them diferently (different chips etc.. etc..). Now the firmware version is the version of (software) installed on the chip in the router. If you tag says you have a version 5 you need to install the firmware for a version 5 router. The latest firmware is version 1.02.2 which came out 7/02/2007 for the version 5 router.
Here is a link to the WRT54G v.5 router.

Firmware upgrade - improvement?

My Nokia 5140i presently runs on firmware version 03.80. Now there is an upgrade available: v. 03.85
Before upgrading, I would like to know the specific changes &/or improvements offered by the new firmware, but I can not find any sources of information.
Does anyone know where I may obtain useful infromation on Nokia firmware upgrade history and the consequent improvements?
I'd be grateful for some advice.
Thank you.

WRT54G Ver 1.1 Firmware Upgrade

I was experiencing some connection problems that were causing me to cycle the power on my router a few times a week. I decided to upgrade the firmware to 4.21.1 hoping to resolve this issue. The firmware upgrade completed and all configuration settings were put back as I had before the upgrade.
Since the update, I cannot connect to the internet through my DSL when connecting through the router. I can connect to the internet when my computer is directly connected to the modem. I called Linksys and I was told to reset the router three times. Had no results.
Can anyone help me out with this? Or is there a place where I can download the old firmware that I originally had?
I have a WRT54G ver 1.1 and Bellsouth DSL
Thanks
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)
Message Edited by JOHNDOE_06 on 11-20-2007 08:55 AM

--Update--
I solved the problem. The Bellsouth DSL modem is in bridge mode after it is either reset (hard button) or configured via the web utility.
WITHOUT connecting the router to the modem, configure the router to be PPPoE insted of DHCP. If the router is connected to the modem while still in DHCP mode, the modem will assume the router is a computer. This will kick the modem out of bridge mode.
So the steps to solve the problem are:
1) Disconnect ethernet between router and modem.
2) Reset modem / put in bridge mode.
3) Connect to router via web utility and configure PPPoE settings.
4) Connect router and DSL modem via ethernet cable.
(Mod Note: Edited due to non-compliance of forum guidelines.)

Zen MX Firmware upgrade issues

I purchased my Zen MX a few weeks ago. It's been fully charged and I've been using it. It works great! I decieded to upgrade the firmware from the existing v .00.09 on the player to the v .02.04 version that's available on the Creative website. I've read and followed the firmware upgrade instructions and all seemed to be going well until I clicked on the upgrade package.
The player goes dark and the window tells me that it can't connect with the device. Then I get a device timeout error message. The it tells me I need to reflash it again. So I click the upgrade button again and the green progress bar starts to move and then stop and I'm prompted again to click the upgrade button again. It's just a vicious circle from there. I did notice that the window where the upgrade button is shows me that the current firmware version on the player is v 00.00.00. This leads me to suspect the the upgrade software is not connecting with player at all. When I click close in the upgrade window the software on the PC closes and the screen on the player comes back to life.
Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks!
BTW I'm running Vista 32

I evetually figured out that it was vista that was preventing the upgrade from happening. So I downloaded the software from an XP machine and transfer the dfiles via a flash dri've. All went well after that. Let me know how you make out.

I went ahead and updated it anyway. One little thing I noticed was now the volume only goes up to 25 like my Zen Touch instead of 40 or whatever that it did before. Same loudness, different numbers only. Other than that, I have not noticed anything different, but it seemed to work OK scrolling through a song with the old firmware. I did not, obviously, do a detailed comparison.

Safe boot required for firmware upgrades??

The two recent firmware upgrades, EFI and SMC, both required me to do a safe boot for the firmware to install. Is this normal behaviour?? Trying to do the firmware install from a normal boot results in in an installation failure.
Possibly related, the "fixed" version of Parallels crashes the Mac during the install. If I try the same install during a safeboot, it will install. However, the system will panic during a normal boot until Parallels is uninstalled.
Thoughts?? Advice??? Thanks!
-Phil

Safe Mode boot…

You get updates by running Software Update (System Preferences else it's the 2nd item in the Apple menu).

'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.

SunRay 2FS DTUs dead after Firmware upgrade?

Hi everyone,
although I am fairly experienced in Solaris this whole Thin Client business is a bit of unchartered territory to me as of yet... following situation:
I got 2 SunRay 2FS DTUs and I have a vanilla PC setup with Solaris 10 U6 for x86. Installation was smooth except for the onboard NICs - I had to locate and manually install the appropriate drivers (skge). Installed SRSS 4.1, no problems, made a basic configuration (skge0: standard LAN, skge1: SunRay LAN with the standard 192.168.128.0/24 network). Installation told me DTUs would be firmware-upgraded after next power-cycle. Fired up the first DTU, it displayed the firmware upgrade OSDs and power-cycled - so far so good. But after the power cycle nothing happened - LED on the front is green so obviously POST is okay but the OSD constantly display status "1" (waiting for ethernet link to come up) and nothing else happens. Link lights on the NIC are on, when I send packets on the skge1 network (pings) they even flash, so I assume it's not the cables. Strangest things of all: I tried DTU 2 and the exact same sequence happened - so I am sitting here with 2 dead DTUs - any chance of reviving them? I scoured the 'net for information but I got no description that was even close to my problem...
Kind regards from Germany,
Henning

after installing sun ray server remember to:
1) utadm
2) utconfig

Firmware Upgrade and Battery Life?

Since the firmware upgrade on my Macbook in early February the fan appears to be running at full speed all the time and battery life is crap! Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix/workaround available please?

Sounds more like an app stuck processing that shouldn't be....does happen from time to time. Behing hot means it is constantly processing.
To fix:
Try a reboot (described below).
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

For me, 2.1 works great.
