Ultra 450 flash prom update

Hello all
I would like to update the flash prom on my Ultra 450. But when I try I get half way throug the process and than get this message.
"Erasing the top half of the Flash prom
programing OBP into the top half of the Flash prom
**ERROR: A Vpp range error was reported by the flash device"
Thanks
Alexander

try changing jumper J5501. This might work, might not, but it's worth a shot.
If that doesn't work, will need motherboard replacement

Ultra 2 prom update

I performed a Solaris 8 2/02 install on my ultra 2. After doing so it gave me the warning about the 64 bit os being installed, but running 32 bit version. After reading about this and I performed the prom update as per the Solaris 8 2/02 Sun Hardware platform guide. After doing so, I received a Fast Access MMU Miss error on reboot. The system will no longer boot from hard disk, however it will run in single user mode from the cd-rom drive.
Is there a patch I can run to fix this or is there a newer Prom update I should run?
Thanks.

The latest acceptable PROM version for Ultra is 104169-08.
Is this the one you installed ??

Where can I find PROM Update...

Hi, I'm totally new to Sun/Solaris. Can anyone point me to the correct place to download the latest PROM update for an E450? How difficult are they to install ? I do not yet have the OS (Solaris 10) loaded due to bad CD images (I think), but is CD the manner in which one would apply the PROM update ? Any and all suggestions are sincerely welcome. THANKS !

Install your OS on that box and then go for the task of updating your OBP.
There are a couple of ways that you could get the flash-update file.
You could search on Sun's support web site, Sunsolve, or you could use the SSH to find it.
At Sunsolve you can use search terms,
such as 'E450' and perhaps 'prom', and/or perhaps 'update',
then wade through all the search results until you find what you need.
Then, there is a mantra that some of us mutter quietly:
"The Sun System Handbook is your friend ..."
"The Sun System Handbook is your friend ..."
"The Sun System Handbook is your friend ..."
There is a link to the downloadable zipfile at the front of the E450 page in the SSH.
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/E450/E450.html
Click the link to patch number 106122 and you'll get to another web page,
that is the README file of instructions.
It has a link for the latest version of the file.
(no need for the digitally "signed" version, use the "normal version")
The zipfile includes the binary data and a copy of that instruction README file.
The procedure is most easily done if you have a functional OS on the box.
You'd then have a root directory, that temporarily holds the flash-update binary.

OpenBoot Prom Update for Enterpeise 420R

Hello all,
I would like to look into updating my Boot Prom to whatever version is now current for the Enterprise 420R system. Currently, my system reports the following in response to the .version command:
Release 3.31 Version 0 created 2001/07/25 20:35
OBP 3.31.0 2001/07/25 20:35
POST 1.2.8 2000/08/22 19:50
I read in the "Sun Flash PROM Guide for Workstations and Workgroup Servers�Standalone Version" document about this, but cannot find exactly how or where to obtain the program ( Standalone Flash PROM Utility ) or any of the updates for this purpose.
I am sure that I am lost or not searching correctly for this info. Could someone point me to this utility and the place to obtain these updates/patches?
Any assistance would be most appreciated....
TexasMike

Once again, the Sun System Handbook comes to the rescue.
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/E420R/E420R.html
The OBP patch is linked right up front on the system's resource page in the Handbook.
... whisper after me ...
"the SSH is your friend ..."
"the SSH is your friend ..."
"the SSH is your friend ..."
"the SSH is your friend ..."
Patch 109082 is downloaded as a zipfile.
The README inside that zipfile tells you how to flash-update the firmware.
Your system is already at the latest version, by the way.

Flash PROM Patch

Hello,
What is a good pratice to update the Flash PROM Patch (firmware) on a server ?
I have several SUN Fire V480's , and currently we don't update the firmware on a regular basis.
my question is should this be done on a regular basis or just when experiencing issues.
I am trying to get some experienced advice all you UNIX gurus.
Zak

Hello Zak,
OBP updates are fixing bugs or add support for new hardware.
Certain CPU/memory problems don't arise with later versions or the given log message is more to the point.
Review the patch notes on a regular basis, if one or more of the mentioned fixed problems have appeared on your systems, it's time to update.
Probably not what you expected ...

Problems with flashing PROM on Ultra1 Creator

I have an Ultra 1 Creator 200 MHz. It is claiming that it needs a PROM update to run in 64bit mode. The problem that I have is that when I run the prtconf -V comand it comes up with OBP 3.3.2 1996/06/28 08:43 Suposably I only need 3.11.1 When I tried to go though sunsolve patches to find an update all I found were Ultra1 (non-E) that were marked for the 140 and 170 models and the Ultra1E version...which do I use??? Thanks a ton for any help you can give me.

For future reference before installing major OS Updates and especially before installing a number of OS, Security or Apple application updates at one time, you should check the hard drive for any directory problems via Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc.
Before installing a major OS Update or a number of available updates, it is also a good idea to disconnect all external peripheral devices except for a keyboard and mouse and don't launch or run any applications during the installation.
As a first step, I suggest the following link for system troubleshooting procedures and when doing so, follow all steps/instructions in the order provided.

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are

I get following message:
Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
How can I solve this?

People,
Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.

Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2. Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem. But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history. I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
Please help.

Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877. They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support. Or buy the paid version. They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network. Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time! They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update! I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

How do I install adobe flash player update

I've downloaded the adobe flash player update. It says thank you, here are some more products I might like, such as photo shop etc. I don't want them.
But I still can't play videos on youtube etc.

First uninstall all previous versions of flash player by using Flash Player Uninstaller then install Adobe Flash Player Software.

Running without Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task

I'm trying to understand how to avoid installing Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task.
I am also unable to remove the Scheduled Task using a script that works on other tasks, on the same workstations.
Is there an mms.cfg setting that will instruct the installer to skip the Task?
1) Uninstall the Scheduled Task from all workstations in my environment.
2) Install future updates without the Scheduled Task.
I have already tried mm.cfg with these lines:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
It still runs the update process every hour.
I have explained that it hasn't been causing a problem, but running this many processes on so many computers for no reason is causing some concern.
My organization also does not allow big bang automation included with this product.
Has anyone managed to shut off the Updater process from running?
Thank you

Hi Ethan,
try creating an MST file, with Fx, Wise package studio...
Edit the CustomAction “NewCustomAction1” added the parameter “-au 2” to the Command line argument.
you should do that for both:
install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi
and
install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi
If you are using both of them..
Or you can delete the scheduled task with schtask /delete "taskname"

Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date. Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work. Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen. When I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password. Any suggestions.

Hi,
This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password. Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

Error: Flash Player "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."

I get the following message as soon as I boot up my PC:
"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
According to Adobe, this is the first time they've heard of this issue.

RE:

Unchecking auto updates does not stop the message for me.
Sorry to hear that too. I actually recommended this to a few friends who were having the same issue, and it worked for them.
But, I'm wondering.... Have you tried disabling the check for updates settings in both the (Window's Control Panel's) Global settings manager and the (online) Global Notifications Settings panel? (That's the one on this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l ) On that page, click on the "Globe with the Check Mark" tab and make sure that the box is blank.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Flash Player Update 13._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Downloaded Adobe Flash Player 13 a few days ago after Adobe kept prompting me to update for an enhanced video player experience with popups from Adobe. Every time I go to play a video or game, this VERY annoying pop up askes me to accept or deny third party storage on my computer which also allows them to access my info.
I DO NOT ACCEPT, however, it is very resistant to disappearing after several attempts. How do I get rid of this stupid popup. I WILL NOT ALLOW A THIRD PARTY TO ACCESS OR STORE.
Adobe people, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING by making this a part of your perfectly good program? This is not something you make the public aware of before downloading.......shame on you.
PLEASE GIVE ME OPTIONS FOR REMOVAL IMMEDIATELY!

You're infected with adware.
It didn't come from Adobe but it DOES use Flash Player to run the popups.
There are literally millions of fake "Flash Player Updates" out there, and you most likely got one. It installed the adware with it.
You'll need to run a throrugh system scan to remove the offending software, and afterward, ONLY update Adobe software from this site, to prevent a reoccurrance.
