Toshiba STOR.E TV+ firmware upgrade

Hello,
Is there any unofficial firmware upgrade for the STOR.E TV+ product series? I can clearly see that there's no official firmware upgrade...
The one shipping with the product looks like "work in progress" (you can see this throughout the entire user interface, which is clumsy and very "90s", but especially if you access the device using your browser - though this one could be useful if your math is rusty and need a little help to perform basic additions :) ).
Moreover, despite the fact that the product is on the market for over 1 year now, there's no firmware upgrade available (despite the obvious need for one). Sometimes I wonder when would have been the release date if the product's time to market would have been extended in order to have a fully functional product upon the release!
@ Toshiba developers: if you don't bother to release a firmware at least give the code "as is" to the community. This way you will certainly find someone willing to do (out of pure passion) whatever you were supposed to do (for the money you make as developers, part of those we pay for this product as customers).
Thanks.

Hi there,
As expected, the software is... archaic!
You can telnet into your box (user: root, no password required) and you'll see the software specs: it is based on BusyBox 1.1.3! There's nothing wrong with BusyBox (a Debian-based Linux distribution, originally intended to run from a single floppy disk, but now able to run to almost anything: phones, routers, NASs...), except for the version: 1.1.3 has been released on May 17, 2006! (Yes, it was already 4 years old when Toshiba decided to put the STOR.E TV+ on the market!).
The newest version is 1.19.3, released on October 29, 2011 (and, if you follow the release notes, there have been some tremendous improvements form 2006 to 2011!).
So.. Toshiba guys, when can we expect an update? (I sure would like to have a proof that you're actually working!)
It is certainly not enough to just throw an update to the CLI-based code; it must be linked to the remote and OSD as well (besides, since Toshiba is not mentioned in the products list on the BusyBox site, I don't expect them to have been used an open code). So just changing the routines, without changing the way they're called for, is useless, and could brick your product.

Toshiba Stor.E tv 1TB PA4209E-1HJ0 SYSTEM FIRMWARE UPGRADE?

Hey
I just purchased a toshiba stor.E tv 1tb multimedia player but it doesn't support mkv video formats & others like rmvb
Is there any system firmware upgrade that i can flash into the bios?
If so pls provide me with the link to it ?
Note : i did not find it on the support page
But i have read that the Stor.E tv 2TB's support the video file formats i'm looking for.
Would it be possible to use the same firmware bios on the 1Tb ?
thanks & regards

hey there,
i just purchased the same hdd. my problem is: after some trys to make it compatible to my mac (i created two partitions - one fat32 and the other in mac-format) it didnt work any longer. i mean i dont have access to the data when i connect it to my tv. even after turning it back to the former status (one fat partition) its the same. i can see the screen, when i turn it on, but i dont have a menu to choose any file. setup is working as well...
so obviously its not possible to get any firmware or other support. does anyone have a solution? maybe a soft-/firmware i can use???
thanks,
stefan

Toshiba 47M7463DG no Cloud service after firmware upgrade

Hi All,

Hello,
I have the same problem.
I have above mentioned TV since 3 months So far, everything was wonderful.
Yesterday an update is installed automatically.
After that all stations were adjusted and I no longer get into the cloud menu.
So if I press the button with the "house", nothing happens.
Wi-Fi is enabled and network test was successful. The Red button also works. So I'll be over in the individual libraries.
Three times I set back the TV .Without Success.
Once I was able to get into the cloud menu. When I went out of it and want into the menu again nothing happened.
I also can not access the contents of my USB flash drive.
The latest firmware is installed.
Did someone have an idea?
Thanks in advance

Firmware Upgrade has hosed my Gateway - Massachusetts

An early morning Gateway firmware upgrade has apparently stopped a lot of Gateway's from recognizing devices. In addition, the Gateway will go offline and come online 2 dozen times in an hour. I'm getting a little frustrated with the downtime of this product. Thankfully it's only $9.99, becuase that's all it's worth.

Yikes, only thing I can think of is an Apple Store possibly being able to cure it.

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue

Right now my Galaxy S3 is sitting at a screen that states "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again." Whenever I power on my phone, I get that message. I've tried to do an Emergency Recovery in both Kies and Kies 3, but neither are able to recover, and the only way, it seems, to get the SRA is to plug my phone into my PC and get it from Autorun. Since my phone is not leaving the error screen, I don't get the auto run option to install the SRA. Is there any way to download it manually to get my phone running, or is it pretty much bricked and I'll have to look at replacement options?

I found a solution on the XDA forums site, but thanks anyway. Looks like I just needed to run the Software Repair Assistant, which I'm a little surprised that the Verizon store I went to didn't have it on hand to attempt to fix my phone. I got my device repaired, and it's working great. Just really wish my Wiimotes worked in Android 4.3.

Firmware upgrade on mac book air 13"

i clicked the update next to the firmware upgrade 1.6 option in app store, it is now stuck on "checking for new updates", i can't shutdown or anything, it says you must wait for os updates to complete before shutting down. the message has been displayed for the last 6 hours. anybody got any pointers, have contacted apple, but they are closed in the uk now, US care are trying to call but can't seem to get through to me.

You can force quit the app store and load it down manually. See this thread for a link.

Satellite Pro M10: firmware upgrade issue DVD UJ-830B FW:1.50, HW:1.00

Hi,
I had tried to replace the old DVD/CDRW with the above UJ-830B ( FW: 1.50, HW: 1.00) but the result was IDE error. It is not recognize it in Windows at all.
I have tried to solder the contact 48 and 49 but result is the same.
How can I make to work this UJ-830B ( FW: 1.50, HW: 1.00) on Toshiba Pro M10?
Is any one have any solution like firmware upgrade or some hardware soldering/desoldering?
Thanks.
Regards

This is not possible because such software is not placed or released on any of Toshiba webpage.
Fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible with all notebooks due to different master/slave/c-sel settings.
Therefore its always advisable to contact the ASP in your country or to check the user manual to get the details about combatable drives.
I can recommend only buying an compatible and supported ODD.

Toshiba Stor.e Partner - Can't find Nero serial number

Hi,
I'm trying to install my new Toshiba Stor.e Partner 1TB on my Windows Vista computer and during the installation, it's asking me for a serial number to validate Nero BackItUp 12 Essentials.
I assumed this would be the serial number on the bottom of the HDD and the packaging but that doesn't work. It's not on any of the leaflets that came with it and can't find any info on the user's guide.
Anyone know what I'm missing here?
Thanks

As I understood your message, you found the serial number but it does not match with your software. Right?
Are you sure you typed the number correctly?
Maybe you mistyped the number or mixed some numbers like 0 and o or i and l
Check it again.
You can also upgrade the Nero software to the latest version
How? Check these links:

Dear Mr. #####,
Thank you for contacting Vodafone Customer Service about Nokia E70.
Please can you take your phone to your local Vodafone store so that they can check it and give you the possible resolution.
Please can you click on the URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

Mac mini won't boot after accidental loss of power during firmware upgrade

i accidentally hit the power switch on the wall during an upgrade (might even have been a firmware upgrade, I didn't really look at what was going on). Anyway, now it hangs on the silver Apple logo screen with a spinny wheel on reboot. It's only 3 months old, it's the $599 model.
What to do? I see that you can download firmware restoration disks but they appear to be limited to earlier versions of the Mac mini.

I took it to the Mac store today and they fixed it for free by booting from an external drive and finishing the half-baked system update. Now that I know how to do that, I can fix it myself next time.
Thanks to Alan at the Salem, NH store!!

Toshiba stor.e tv+ WIFI settings not working

Hi there!
Ive recently bought a Toshiba stor.e tv+ and when trying to connect the drive to the router via wifi it just doesnt work.
I connect to my wifi network, I give the WPA password, I choose DHCP, and when accepting, it takes a looong time until it reverts back to the first screen.
As well Ive noticed that when selecting the Network mode, below "Wireless setup" It says "On*: DHCP Not ready!"
Has anybody faced anything like this before?
Ive connected the HD to the router via network cable and its fine.
Thanks for your help!

http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
choose: Options -> Drive devices -> Multimedia HDDs -> 3.5 StorE TV+
Now you should be able to download the latest firmware.
After that try to configure the Wlan once again!

E71 firmware upgrade problems

Hi,
when I want start my firmware upgrade (today 100.07.76 - Vodafone branded) to the actual one via NSU, it stops always ~60 MB. Tried many things already, everything is up-to-date from Nokia and PC with XP.
Any ideas ?
cheers

Message Edited by michaels on 18-Mar-2009 12:33 PM

It should not be anything to do with branding if the update starts downloading, if the branding was an issue you wouldn't even get acces to the update.
There are conflicting stories about Nokia service points and debranding. It can only be done if the phone has had any SIM lock officially removed by the network, and the service point may in some cases ask for a letter from the operator stating their approval for the action to be taken. Service points are not required to offer this service and so may not do, and if they do it will be at your cost.

HOT iPhone and poor battery life after 1.14 to 2.1 firmware upgrade

I recently upgraded my Original iPhone's firmware from 1.1.4 to 2.1. I did a restore rather than a simple upgrade (backup, restore to version 2.1, restore backup).
After the restore I noticed that my battery life was terrible and that the phone would get very hot (near the top of the phone) sometimes, as if the battery was discharging very quickly. I read a few posts that suggested Push might be the culprit, so I turned Push off (I'm not using MobileMe), and this seemed to solve the problem. However...
I now notice that whenever I play Apple's Texas Holdem from the App Store or play YouTube clips the same phenomena occurs, and that nothing short of a hard reset will stop it.
Oddly, if I refrain from playing YouTube clips or playing Texas Holdem battery life is much better than before the firmware upgrade.
In short, it looks as though there is something wrong with the 2.1 firmware. I see sporadic accounts of similar behavior on the various discussion boards, so I know I'm not alone.
Is there a fix for this behavior?
Thanks in advance...
James

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.

Firmware upgrade for keyboard failed now keys won't work

Hi
Hope someone can help, I recently upgraded my sisters intel imac and during the aluminium (USB) keyboard firmware upgrade it failed and now computer doesn't recognise keyboard keys but usb hub on keyboard that mouse is plugged into works fine. Another keyboard works fine which was handy when trying to type in the passwords to try to re update.
I have tried the following
1) searched discussions found advice on resetting nvram, and in open firmware (which on further research doesn't seem possible on this imac?) did control, option P R on start up.
3) EFI firmware upgrade was successful
4) have used disk utility to repair permissions
5) Looked in system profiler and keyboard usb hub is recognised but no keyboard. When another keyboard attached it recognises this fine and is in the system profiler
6) checked all usb ports
Main question - can I fix or do I have to get a new keyboard or perhaps it would be less stress, time wasted etc to just buy a new keyboard???
thanks

Hi, if the K/B is under warranty Apple will replace it FOC..Call Apple Help or ->
call in at the local Apple Store or Apple Approved Service Agent.
