Upgrade boot rom version 7200
How do I upgrade the boot rom version on the 7200 router? I am running IOS Version 12.4(22)T and when I plug in the serial ds3 card in my router it keeps rebooting with a watch dog error ( see below). Also, what version should I upgrade to?

BOOT ROM VERSION ISSUES WITH MINI MAC POWERPC G4 (1.2)
HI,
I AM HAVING SOME BOOT PROBLEMS ON REBUILDING MY MAC MINI. WHENEVER I PUT IN A BRAND NEW COPY OF EITHER PANTHER OR TIGER THE BOOT SCREEN WITH THE APPLE LOGO CRASHES AND FUNNY GRAPHICS APPEARS, RESULTING IN A FORCED REBOOT AND USING F12 TO EJECT THE CD. THE MAC MINI IS FINE BOOTING OFF OF ITS OWN MANUFACTURE CD, WHICH IS A COPY OF PANTHER, BUT WON'T UPGRADE WITH ANY TIGER DISKS. I HAVE EVEN MANAGED TO CHANGE THE DISKS WITH SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WAS SUCCESSFUL IN UPGRADING TO TIGER.
I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY MENTIONED THAT I SHOULD CHANGE/UPDATE MY BOOT ROM VERSION FROM 4.8.9F1 TO 4.9.8F4.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THIS BOOT ROM UPDATE? I HAVE LOOKED ON APPLE DOWNLOADS, BUT NOTHING APPEARS TO HELP. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS APPREACIATED.
MANY THANKS
SUPERHEROTIMOWelcome to the Apple Discussions!
First, a word of etiquette, writing your post in ALL CAPS is considered the same thing as yelling. Please don't use ALL CAPS when writing your messages.
Exactly which Mac mini do you have? Is it a G4 Mac mini running at 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5GHz? (If it came with Panther install disks, it couldn't be an Intel Mac mini.) Which version of Mac OS X came with your Mac mini? Some of the earlier Mac minis shipped with Mac OS X 10.3.7 and will not startup from any earlier version (most of the retail copies of Panther are 10.3.0 or 10.3.4). If it's a Mac mini that shipped later, it would have come with Mac OS X 10.4.2 and, again, won't startup from any earlier version (most retail copies of Tiger were 10.4.0 but now have 10.4.4). Trying to startup from a disk that's the wrong version will usually cause a "kernel panic" and force you to restart.
So, if your Mac mini shipped with Mac OS X 10.3.7, you should be able to use any retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) to update your computer. However, you won't be able to update to 10.4 from the install disk that came with another Mac. You will need to buy a retail copy of your own.
There are no firmware updates available to download to upgrade the "Boot ROM" on your G4 Mac mini, so that option is really not available.

How can I go back to a previous boot ROM version?
Hi. I've been reading these forums for a long time...first time posting.
The short story: I have a Macbook 5,2 running OS X 10.5 with boot ROM MB52.0088.B06, and I'd like to know how to flash the boot ROM version back to MB52.0088.B05.
The long story:
I have a MacBook 5,2. It came with OS X 10.5. As far as I know, the latest boot ROM for 10.5 on a Macbook 5,2 is MB52.0088.B05 (EFI 1.4) (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237).
A while ago, a friend convinced me to update to 10.6. Apparently, with the 10.6 install, it updated the boot ROM version to MB52.0088.B06. Now, I'm concerned that there is a firmware issue (which I might be wrong about, and the reason I think there is a firmware problem is very convoluted but I'll explain if you want). So I decided I wanted to go back to MB52.0088.B05. I had been thinking about going back to OS X 10.5 anyway. So, I backed up my system using Time Machine to a Time Capsule via ethernet. Then I did an Erase and Install with the original 10.5 install disc that came with my Macbook. Then, I used Migration Assistant to restore most of my system from the backup. I should have taken a look at the boot ROM version before I ran Migration Assistant...but I didnt.
The boot ROM version still says MB52.0088.B06.
I tried downloading the MB52.0088.B05 update and running it anyway, and it says my computer doesn't need the update. When I was still running 10.6, I did try the method described here: http://pubmem.wordpress.com/2011/04/09/flash-efi-firmware-update-manually-on-a-m acbook-51/ (which has apparently worked for someone else on a 5,2; see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3747472?start=0&tstart=0), and it didn't work. I don't know if it's a good idea to try it again now.
So:
Why didn't my boot ROM go back to MB52.0088.B05 after a clean 10.5 install?
Did Migration Assistant import the previous boot ROM somehow?
Should I do another clean install without MA?
Should I try PubMem's manual method again?
Is there another way I can flack back the firmware?
Thanks a ton!
P.S. I'm posting this in the Time Capsule community as well, since it might be an MA issue. Don't get mad, I'm new. If that's against the rules, I'll take it down.

I think you're right.
To run the AHT you would need the AHT disc that came with the computer, but it's unlikely you have it for that old iBook G4.
I do have it, in fact! But it's not working. Here's the situation, copied from a conversation with Kenichi Watanabe over in iMacs...
I haven't been able to run the Apple Hardware Test. I have the AHT CD that came with the computer (v1.2), and I also downloaded v1.2.6 here and burned that to a CD. In both cases, when I load the CD into the external optical drive which is connected via a firewire cable (exactly what I used for the install disc), restart, and press and hold C, the computer ignores the CD completely and boots from the HD. Any idea how to fix this? Or, is there another function I can use to achieve the same thing, maybe in single user mode?
Regarding the Apple Hardware Test CD, holding down the C key will attempt to boot from the internal optical drive. Since there is nothing in there, it boots from the internal hard drive. I would try starting up with the Option key held down. That should get you to the Startup Manager screen. If that CD is in the external FireWire drive, it should be listed as a startup disk choice. Select it and see if it will start up from it.
Right, that makes sense. Unfortunately, in both cases, when I select the CD to start up from, the screen blinks for a second and then returns to the screen where I am supposed to choose a startup disc. It does this as many times as I try to choose the CD, until I select the HD and start up from there.
When I put either CD in the drive, with the computer on and booted from the HD, the CD mounts, and Disk Utility says it's verified. But when I try to select it as a startup disc from system preferences, it doesn't show up. Ideas??
Update: I tried Hoja's reccommendation from this thread using Open Firmware, but in response to
boot cd:\diags
It says:
can't OPEN: cd:\diags
for both CDs. -

I have a G3 desktop with a 300MHz processor, 1MB backside cache, but it is a Rev A ROM board ($77D.40F2). Did someone swap out my Rev B chip before I bought it on ebay? Can I just put in a Rev B chip onto my motherboard without creating other compatibility issues? I just want to be sure I can run three 256MB RAM chips in my computer (they are the 128 chip (16 modules per chip) version).
Runtherace2006The beige G3s are compatible with low-density (PC100/133) 256 MB DIMMs, having 16 chips - 8 per side. The high-density 256 MB DIMMs with only 8 chips on one side won't work. Additionally, the desktop model requires low-profile DIMMs (max. height of 1.15"), to clear the underside of the drive bay chassis.
I think it was in May or June of '98 that the Rev. B ROMs were phased in, along with the #820-0991-B motherboard having the Rage Pro graphics chip. Check the motherboard part # and/or the production date on the rear label, to determine whether your G3 is original. Some sellers downgraded the ROM card on later boards, so they could sell them separately. I've never had any SCSI issues with my G3s having a Rev. B or Rev. C ROM. The upgrade shouldn't pose any compatibility issues¹, but you need to be careful when pulling up the ROM card. If you're not careful, you can break out one of the slot's card guides. It's best to apply downward pressure on the card guide, as you gradually pull up on the card, alternating from opposite ends of the slot.
¹The Sonnet Tempo Trio card isn't compatible with the Rev. C ROM. -

Upgrading Mac OSX version 10.4.11 to 10.6 issue..
Hello all,
I have a MacBook with version 10.4.11 that I am trying to upgrade to 10.6. The upgrade instructions says to simply insert the disk and to double click on the Install Mac OSX icon, and that I should see a Welcome Pane along with a screen to accept license agreements. Unfortunately, I don't see anything of the sort. The only thing that comes up is instructions to restart the computer. And, upon restarting I do so only to be told that I cannot install Mac OSX on this system. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can't install, all I need to know is what version of Xcode will run on version 10.4.11, I am trying to install Wine for Windows. And, I'm pretty sure Bootcamp is out of the question since I have to upgrade in order to have Bootcamp work.
This is my system spec, which seems to meet the requirements:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB

Best Regards,
freesparksYour system specs look good for Snow Leopard. From this page: http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory
* 5GB of available disk space
* DVD drive for installation
You have an Intel processor, 1GB of memory, and a DVD drive. As long as you have 5GB of free space on your hard drive, you meet all the requirements. I've upgraded a family members MacBook (the very first model from May 2006) that was older then yours, and it worked fine.
On a separate note, a recommendation I would have for making your MacBook run faster would be to upgrade the RAM. It will help the system last a bit longer along with the upgrade to Snow Leopard. Apple provides instructions and specifications here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651
If you buy online, you can upgrade to the maximum for your model (4GB) for well under $100. Doubling your memory to 2GB would cost less then $50. If it's not in your budget now, it's worth considering down the road instead of upgrading to a completely new machine. -
How to install a update for a boot rom firmware On a intel iMac mid 2011?

Miguelangel2000Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As you can check in this website, you are running the most recent EFI and SMC version available for your computer. In this case, reset the SMC and the PRAM, and finally, try to use Boot Camp Assistant -

Any ideas how to fix all of these? -
I thought the correct thing to do was to start a new thread but it is closely related to another thread below "Can someone explain to me how to correct this problem??"
When I look at the info under 'Production information' on my G4 (pci) I get:
ROM revision: $77D.45F6
Boot ROM version: 1.2f2
Mac OS ROM file version: 8.7
This does not seem to fit in with what Don Archibald was discussing. What is my firmware version?
Regards
JohnHi, John -
Boot ROM version: 1.2f2
That may well be correct. I no longer have access to a G4 (PCI) model to verify that number.
However, the important thing is that there is no firmware update for a G4 (PCI) model. This means that if you have a G4 (PCI) model, its firmware is, by definition, up to date and current. -
What is most recent boot ROM compatible with Snow Leopard?
Just got a fine refurb Qc i5 27" iMac which was reportedly manufactured in May 2011. It's tested and warranteed by Apple, and came with Lion installed. I am hoping I can back-grade it to Snow Leopard to make the human interface like the file systems on our other 10.5/10.6 machines.
I am guessing that I might be able to do this if it indeed was made in May, before Lion shipped on all newer machines.
I suppose I can set up an external drive and install 10.6 externally and see if the installer allows it. Wouldn't that indicate the the ROM is compatible with 10.6?
The iMac boot ROM version is
IM121.0047B0A
Thanks for a definitive answer!Update from OP: I made an extra tray in my MacPro with a test install of 10.6.8. Booted ok as alternate drive in that machine. Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable copy on an external LaCie drive. Plugged the LaCie into the quad-core iMac, which recognized it as a potential startup drive via FW 800. It booted fine. I suspect if I zeroed the iMac's drive, then I might be able to boot the SnoLeo install disk and install, or boot from my LaCie external drive and use CCC to clone to the iMac's drive.
I'm concluding that the May 2011 firmware is fine for 10.6, as it was shipped that way on the spring releases. So now I'm guessing that Lion's new recovery structure may interfere with a "backgrade" install. I'll scrape and sand the internal disk after cloning it for good measure, then try to install 10.6. More notes in a week or so. -
