PS Vita Firmware Update(s) causing a problem

My brother? He's been using my account. He doesn't have one

It's been a while since I used my Vita. I lent it to my little brother to play games on for a while. I got it back from him yesterday. There've been a good few updates since then but it seems one of them has caused a problem.
I felt like returning to my Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days save file only to get the infamous DLC Error when booting up. I followed all the tips and tricks that were used back on the PSP but to no avail. I looked around a bit more and people were reporting this from around January time. My save file was from October 2013 so there's definitely been a lot of updates since then. One post I read said it was working fine until he updated his Vita earlier this year. I have redownloaded and installed the game and all it's DLC a couple of times and also tried formatting my memory card after backing up my data. Even if I start a new game, the DLC cannot be found. Any help would be great, but I don't know if that would work. It seems that only someone official looking into this problem and seeing if they can find a solution is the only answer. Also, I have no idea if this is affecting any other games at this moment. Honestly I had no idea where to post this thread. I thought due to it looking like an update may have caused this that it may be best here. If not then I apologise. I'd also like to know how I can get in touch with anybody who could look into this if it's no good posting here. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks.

  • G5 Firmware update necessary? Random problems since Tiger upgrade.

    I have a PowerMac G5 (7,2) with a 1.8 GHz PowerPC 970 (2.2) CPU running under boot version 5.1.4f0. I have added memory.
    I apparently upgraded from OS 9 to 10.2.8 without running any firmware updates. I quite frankly don't remember. I have since upgraded to Tiger, directly from 10.2.8. (There were OS X versions in between, I'm told. *wry smile*)
    I am now having random problems.
    The machine won't sleep. Display will but tower won't.
    On occasion when I boot it up, I get the blue screen and nothing else; I have to shut it off with the power button and restart.
    iPhoto (ancient version) is running agonizingly slowly (better since I did the fix suggested in the iPhoto forum in answer to someone else's question).
    A short while ago, (in the last week) I noticed that some of my rules in mail ceased functioning (while others work fine). I deleted and recreated them to no avail. I previously had serious Mail problems that I fixed thanks to Mr. Gost, but those were largely of my own creation, so this latter might be unrelated.
    If I'm reading things on the various boards and in Apple's Support forum right, in order to truly fix this I should deal with the firmware, to wit:
    1. temporarily remove the memory I added (not factory-installed)
    2. somehow (handwave) install OS 9 OR boot up from a OS 9 disk
    3. download and install the 5.1.5f2 uniprocessor firmware update that Software Update keeps insisting I need.
    4. reinstall the added memory
    5. If I've reinstalled OS 9, reinstall 10.2.8 and then reinstall Tiger. (because I can't go directly from 9 to 10.4, right?) Otherwise, a clean install of Tiger might be a good idea.
    Is this accurate?
    Should this solve my blue screen and non-sleeping issues?
    Are those issues indicative of a serious problem, or just annoying?
    Is there more than one firmware update I should be using?
    Will updating my firmware at this point create more issues than it is worth (as I'm seeing that many people had issues after firmware updates?)
    Also, these problems seem to have intensified since the update to 4.10. Can I go back to 4... um... the last update? If so, can you point me to directions?
    Sorry to be so verbose. I'm obviously more than a little behind the bell curve on this upgrade. The version of iPhoto I want (6) isn't even sold anymore.

    Software updater insists the firmware update I need is 5.1.5f2. The only information I can find on this is on a 2004 page at apple support (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117) that states:
    These firmware updates cannot be installed when the computer is started up from Mac OS X. In order to install them, you must start up the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk (not from a CD).
    When you click on the technical details it says:
    Remove any third part RAM before installing this Firmware Update. After the Firmware Updater has verified that it has been completed correctly, you can re-install your third party RAM.
    There are other firmware updates, but they don't appear to address the issues I have been having, and they're not what Software Updater says it needs. Am I missing something obvious here?
    I will check the USB devices. Thank you.

  • Omen 5012 firmware update, keyboard backlight color problems

    When upgrading from F.09 to F.23, the ability to control the keyboard backlight colors went away, as discussed by OP. When checking the available firmware updates, HP Support Advisor showed new firmware and 3 other downloads, as of 30 July. Then, I pressed check for updates, and all the entries disappeared, now HPSA says there are no updates available. In any event, where can I download the latest firmware, and has this fixed the inability to control the keyboard backlight colors.

    The website detects what OS you are on, so searching for it within Win10 will show you only what is qualified for Windows 10.
    From the link below, can you change the OS:

  • Is the new ipod firmware update the cause of them freezing?

    the frimware update for the ipod turned my 2 day old video into a paper weight. yesterday when i plugged my ipod in, itunes asked me to download the newest itunes, so i did. then, immediately, after downloading itunes urges me to udate the ipod firmware. i hadnt gotten used to the o.s that was already on my new ipod so i postponed the update. i uploaded 200 songs, 5 music videos, and superman, worked beautifully. today i plugged it in to my pc and itunes urged me to update the firmware again, so i did. everything went smooth, i unplugged it and saw no indicator saying to plug it in to my wall charger, so i didnt, an hour later i plugged Giada (my ipod) back in to upload some ebooks, the "do not disconnect" screen frozeimmidiately my pc would not recognize it neither would itunes, ive been at it for hours and nothing has changed. ive tried Giada in three other computers its the same with all of them. it works otherwise, listening to music, but while plugged into my pc its a peice of metal.
    does anybody know whats up, and how to fix it?

    So, Godmorning from Sweden
    After hours of scanning diffrent forums i found a method which worked for me, you can put the G5 Video in "Disk Mode" by first
    1. Reboot (Key lock, Key unlock, Menu+Middle several seconds, 6-10sec)
    2. Press Middle+Play just when the reboot starts.
    This enables Diskmode, to exit diskmode just do a standard reboot.
    When my Ipod enterd "disk mode" i could access it with iTunes and did a factory reset, and "for the moment" my problem is solved.
    I hope this tip helps people....

  • Nokia E71 Firmware update 300.21.012 - problem wit...

    Russian language got messed up - I get Ukranian language instead!!!! Some Russian simbols like Э and Ъ are missing. In the preious firmware everything was ok.
    Please help to fix! 

    it could be because you had a different language pack installed and now you have a language pack native to your phone. although i would think that both Russian and Ukrainian would be in the same language pack. 
    i think yours should be euro 2
     Russia: English, German, Ukrainian, Russian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian 
    with these langauges. try to remove your battery for 5 min. reboot your phone and see if it makes any difference. if not, perhaps reinstalling the firmware or your last option is this:
    the only way you can change a language pack is by going to nokia care. also make sure that the language you use plus the language you want are both in a specific language pack. nokia care will install the desired language pack for a small fee. there is few things to keep in mind, you will lose your installed language pack if you update a firmware and/or have to reformat your phone. in that case your language pack will default to whatever native pack was installed with the firmware meant for this product code.

  • Most Adobe updates now cause severe problems

    I have used computers for many years and am well aware of their vulnerabilities.
    However, due to the repeated destabilising results of Updating Adobe products on numerous computers, I will no longer update ANY Adobe product and will seek alternatives.
    My latest update was to Flash Player 10. This resulted in BSODs every time on two fairly new and very stable computers.
    Another reason to dislike Adobe is their insistence on Installing what THEY want on MY computer, such as AIR.
    Surely there must be a more stable alternative than Adobe that allows us to watch video?
    Does anyone have any advice?

    Hi 123noodles,  As you can see there are many threads on the Flash Player Forum. Anyone wishing help with whatever issue regarding Flash Player always needs to provide their computer and browser info and a brief description of their issue.
    I think it's best not to offer solutions before knowing what the issues are. That is called guessing, in my opinion.
    If you would like help, please provide the information.
    Thanks,

  • After EFI Firmware update 2.3, MBP Early 2011 will not boot. During restart it all went wrong please help!

    Hello,
    I've done an ample amount of Internet research to find an answer to this problem however nothing yet found is quite like this. I will start from the beginning.
    I am traveling through Europe, and I normally live in California. When I arrived in Ireland my MBP early 2011 15 inch, began crashing constantly when I had several tabs open on Chrome and maybe one or two low CPU/Memory using applications, nothing the 8gb RAM &750gb hard drive can't normally handle. Thus I began trouble shooting.  I ran disk utility once started up and repaired both disk and permissions. Still crashing. It didn't seem like it had anything to do with a kernel panic shut down, I never would receive the usual message indicating so. After that I did an SMC reset. It was still crashing. I then upgraded the OSX from 10.8 to 10.8.4 believing it could help. It did momentarily, but then crash again. (When it crashes screen goes black suddenly and upon pressing power button does a regular boot on my single partition). I decided attempting to repair using the Internet recovery option but it appeared my MBP had not yet have it installed, so I downloaded from Apple and began installing. Here I made a mistake, I unplugged the power source as it was restarting. When the gray screen and apple appeared, the loading bar shows up as it says it will when installing the update, but when the bar fully loads it crashes every time. I've tried starting in safe mode, which then loads but never goes further (I let it stand for two hours such as that and nothing). Then I decided to allow the MBP to fully charge overnight to give it time and charge. This morning the problem has stayed the same, even with power source plugged in. Please help I need this to work.
    Thank you and please ask any questions!

    Your constant crashing problem is probably some type of hardware fault which no update can fix. Doing the 10.8.4 update and then the firmware update just caused further problems. you need to take thr system to a apple store to be diagnosed and fixed if cost effective.

  • Lip Sync Problem AFTER LG Firmware Update on some HD Channels

    I have an LG HDTV, model number 47LH90, and I'm experiencing lip sync issues even after they gave me a firmware update to solve the problem.
    I've noticed the problem appears to be most prevalent on the History HD channel.  Most other channels seem fine now following the firmware update from LG.  Any reason why this is  happening?  I have a couple thoughts to add for Verizon personnel:
    1) The Motorola STB/DVR I have from Verizon let's me choose my output as 720p, 1080i, etc.  It would be nice if it would also allow a pass-through option to just be whatever input the feed is.  For example, sometimes I wonder if this issue is because the DVR is trying to take 1080i input to the STB and convert it to 720p output to the TV, which somehow changes data lengths and results in some lip sync issue.
    2) I have a PlayStation3 that I bought to use mainly as a Blu-Ray player.  The PlayStation Audio/Video to my TV using the HDMI cable works great, with no lip sync on Blu Rays, Hulu, games, etc.  I know this lip sync is sometimes more prevalent on LG TV's, but it would seem to me that if PlayStation's can produce lip sync-free content, surely FIOS can too.  Perhaps they could upgrade their hardware and use the latest standards.
    3) I'm using the same make/quality/length HDMI cables on my PlayStation3 and STB, HDMI 1.3a.
    I would love to see some updates that address this issue as soon as possible.

    We frequently have a similar/same problem but do not have a HDTV or programming. We have a  QIP6416-2 hooked up to a 12 year old Sony large screen TV (we won't buy a HDTV until Verizon gets a better, higher capacity DVR or until out contract is up and we can move on).  Often when we are watching a taped show (we tape almost everything) the sound and picture will get out of sync.  Think bad Japanese movie!  It makes me crazy as I read lips but my husband, although bothered, doesn't want to kill the DVR after a few minutes. We have found, by trial and error, that if we exit the show and then resume play the sound and picture return to normal. It also happens when we rewind on a currently playing show.  It happens almost every time I rewind a long ways (I do this when I watch 2 shows at once).  It is harder to get back in sync when this happens but it sometimes works if I watch and jump forward to be close to live and then jump between shows and only have to rewind a short ways.  I used to routinely watch 2 shows at once but now the aggravation factor makes me either tape everything or just not watch some shows I like.  I posted to let you know that it may not be the LG update and may be the DVR.  Try out my tricks when it happens, and if they work, I would blame the DVR.
    Thanks for the suggestion.  My problem actually seems to go away when the show is recorded versus live, at least sometimes, but not always.  Although, I've found that stopping playback, then resuming, or similar behavior can help the problem as well.  I just want my TV to work without having to throw salt over my shoulder.

  • SMC Firmware Update

    Hi,
    I am wondering what results people have seen from the SMC update, I am not ready to install it yet....

    I wonder why the firmware update only causes these issues on certain MacBooks?
    Both the "random shutdown" and "vertical streaks on boot" issues existed before the firmware update came out, but again, those two issues only happened on certain MacBooks.
    Since the firmware update for MacBooks is the same (i.e. the update I downloaded that didn't cause any problems on my MacBook is the exactly same update you downloaded only to have problems you've never had before), I'm wondering if there's some hardware differences between MacBooks that are causing the issues in the first place, and the firmware update is bringing them to light.
    For the record, I have a 1.83 MacBook that before the update didn't have the random shutdown issue (but had the horizontal line issue once). After the firmware update, it hasn't had the random shutdown issue nor the horizontal line issue.

  • Home Hub 3 Firmware update stops DNS queries and m...

    I am getting very poor service after 5 phones about my incident 1403**-******.  The staff cannot understand my problem even though I have explained in clear technical detail.  Basically a firmware update has caused my BT Home Hub 3 to have very slow management web interface and fails to handle DNS queries.  It connects to the Internet Fine.
    The Home Hub has been rebooted and reset many times and no improvement.
    Help BT.

    I have been DNS having problems with two Chromebooks accessing the internet ever since the latest firmware upgrade to my HH3 on 15 March - calls to BT went over their heads they just blamed it on the Chromebook as no other devices were having problems despite the fact that I made it clear that the problem only started after the latest upgrade - the muppet dealing with the problem even went as far as to say that BT does not support more than 6 devices connected to the hub at anyone time.
    I found that the DNS problem does not affect you if you switch from the HH to BT FON even when you are on your own network.
    I finaly got round the problem on the chromebooks by going into the settings page on the Chromebook, opening the HH3 settings and selecting  the option to use 'Google name servers' from the 'Network' tab.
    It has long been an issue for me that the HH3 does not allow me to set my own choice of DNS unless I subscribe to a Dynamic DNS provider from their list - I prefer to use Open DNS to control my network as it allows me to filter out content across the whole network but to do this I would need to replace the HH and that would mean I would lose the Vision service

  • MEGA STICK 520 Firmware update?
