Upgrading firmware for zen mi

"Be sure to back up all the audio and data files on your Zen Micro before installing this firmware update as all content will be <i>lost</i> when you install the new firmware. After installing the firmware, use Windows Media? Player 0 to restore audio and/or data files to your player." My question is, how do i use WMP to restore my songs?Edit: I have another question...is 28kbps wma better in terms of sound quality or 28kbps of MP3. On my computer i can't hear much diff.Message Edited by bh9 on 02-8-200603:40 AM

You are NOT forced to use Windows Media Player 0 to transfer your songs back. You can simply download the PlaysForSure plugins for Media Source and Zen Media Explorer and it will work.
WMA vs MP3.... Where WMA shines is the lower quality songs sound similar to a higher quality MP3 song. So 28kbps WMA would sound better than a 28kbps MP3 song. However the size of file is larger on WMA than MP3 so setting it to a lower quality would be better. But then there are those who say MP3's encoded with LAME is much better overall... I dont have the best ear when it comes to sound but I do know that 28kbps sounds nothing compared to a 60kbps or 92kbps song.

New Firmware for Zen. Where is

I remember during Christmas Break, when I first got my Zen (8gig, now upgraded to 6), I saw new firmware updates every week. Its been nearly 4 months without a firmware update. I liked the new features they kept adding, but stopping suddenly at only copying items in my SD card to my Zen and seeing ONLY my photos is NOT the best Creative can do. I love my Zen, but surely, someone in Creative's team can fix something about the Zen freezing (you know, fixed by using the paperclip reset ) or add more SD card functionality

"...any update would probably affect millions of Zen users..."
Not if they chose not to install it.
Re the integrated SD question. I don't know if it's deception, per se, but it kinda felt that way to me too. I don't think its an unreasonable expection that that you would be able to access the stuff on the card through the regular menu (music, etc.). I've seen a variety of players with expandable storage and Creative's is the only one I've seen that keeps the card memory separate. It's just different, and not what many people expect.
Another thing that is different and unexpected about this player is the faulty "resume" functionality. Oh, it will remember where you left off all right, and start there the next time you turn on the player, as long as the next time isn't more than 2 hours later. Overdri've media includes the Zen on its list of compatible players (one of the reasons I bought it), but it's only compatible in the sense that it will play the DRM WAV files. This flaw in the resume function and the fact that a bookmark loads only the single file containing the bookmark, i.e., it doesn't remember that the file you bookmarked is part of a playlist, makes it a frustrating experience.
I know most people use the player for music, but the audiobook & podcast world has been getting more popular for the last several years, and it would seem like Creative would want to to take those uses -- and users -- into consideration when designing firmware for their products. I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to return Zen in favor of the **other mp3**, but I certainly won't recommend it to anyone if they plan to use it for anything other than music.

Where to get latest firmware for Zen Xt

I have a 40GB Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with firmware version .20.08, which recently has been giving me "Firmware Problem" errors. I used to use AutoUpdate to get the latest firmware, but it no longer supports this device. I also don't see it in the list of devices on the suppport site. It's considered "End of Life" so I can't ask email Creative directly about it. What a pain.
I tried the Zen NX (closest thing on the site to a Zen Xtra) driver .0, but when I run it it gives me an error saying "You cannot use this firmware upgrade for your player. Please download a suitable firmware upgrade."
Does anyone know whre I can find the latest firmware Otherwise, I guess it's time to buy an iPod...

You should be aware that there are signifficant changes with upgrading ( or more apropiatly) changing your firmware version from one starting with a point somehting to a two point somehting firmware, and i would only advise you do it if you realy need to ( ie you need it to work on a windows Vista P.C)
there is a .30.somehting firmware for that player somewhere ( i think) that shouldnt be such a huge change.
goign to a 2.something firmware will:
make the Zen Xtra an MTP device that you can drag n drop stuff to, and it will also help intergrate it with other programmes such as widnows media player on p.cs that dont have the drivers ( i think)?
during the update process ( if it doesnt brick your Zen) everything on you hard dik will be completly wiped, all mucis, playlists and anny other files that you have stored on your player.
?As? with all firmware updates you should make sure that the battery is fully charged and the player is conected to the mains charger.
Updating toa ver2.something firmware is only possible on a windopws XP machine, and that XP P.C must be checked to make sure its is free from windows media player and windows media player runtim, you need to go to the control panel and select remove? on WMP then roll it back to windows media player 0, re-boot your XP p.c, then go back to add/remove programmes, remove Windows media player runtime ( roll back to windows media player ) re-boot your p.c then with a bit of luck the firmware will uipdate to the latest version.
In my opinion unless you realy want the Zen to act as an MTP device, and work on windows vista, theres not much to differentiate between the last ver firmware and the last ver2 firmware, read t6he link below ( if it still woks) and you should get an idea of the hassle i had when trying, then failing ( and eventualy suceeding) in updating the firmware on my Zen Xtra.

Need upgrade help for ZEN 3.2 and NW 5.1.

We have a Netware 5.1 network running ZfD 3.2 that spans two locations and
comprises two partitions. We want to upgrade to NW 6.5 and ZEN 7.
I have just found TID10083888 that says that ZfD 3.2 is not compatible with
NW 6.5.
My question is this:
What is the order in which items should be upgraded and to what interim
versions on each step? Keep in mind that each upgrade could be separated by
days or weeks, so the network needs to be functional between each upgrade.
Also, does upgrading NW or ZfD at one location affect operations at the
other? Should both locations be upgraded synchronously?
Clients are Windows 2000 and Citrix.

There's only one problem with this approach. I was told in another group
that my first NW 6.5 server should be my CA.
My CA is the main file server and the one doing the WS imports. This would
seem to necessitate a more granular approach, starting with the main file
server and upgrading it to ZfD 4.01.
What do you think?

Trying to upgrade firmware for WRT54G V6 on Windows 7

Since buying a windows 7 PC, my WRT54G V6 is dropping connection a lot more than it should (1/hr). Because of this i thought to update the firmware. I have downloaded the new .bin and accessed 192.168.1.1, but when i try to move to the ADMINISTRATION page all i get is ascii chars and no admin page, the only pages that actually work are the basic setup and DDNS setup. For info i'm currently running Firmware Version: v1.00.9
Asked for help online and got as far as downloading Tftp,0, but that onlyworks to the point where it tells me ''unable to get responses from the servers''
can anyone help or do i just get a new router ???
Thanks in advance, les
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try to upgrade the router's firmware using TFTP utility..Download the TFTP utility and save it on the desktop.Also Download the firmware for WRT54G v6 and save it on the desktop.
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Double click the TFTP.exe file and click run.
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
**Make sure your modem is connected to the router on internet port and the computer on the ethernet port of the router while you run the TFTP program.

Most likely. Try restarting your computer and waiting a day or so. Kind of like refreshing a webpage, sometimes you need to try a download more than once.

Petition: PlayForSure/MTP firmware for Zen 2

Hi folks,
Rather than leaving this relati'vely new player in the cold, I'm sure folks would like to see a PlayForSure/MTP firmware for it.
So what do you think?

bonus_uk wrote:There's even a sticky thread for it at the top of this forum with links to the firmware. Just thought you might want to know and be warned the firmware update wipes the sleek hard dri've, so back up anything you don't want to lose :-).
We're not talking about the Sleek, this is the Zen 20Gb.

It maybe considered new to non Asian countries but in Spore, Zen 20GB is considered a old model as compared to Zen Vision and Zen Vision:M
It's still relati'vely new though, compared to players like the Touch and Xtra.
Very often I wonder about creative marketing strategy. Why issit some models are released predominantly in say Asia Pacific region and some in the US and Europe and not in Asia Pacific or vice versa?
Any idea why? Different models developed in different countries? I understand besides the development labs in Spore, creative has some development labs elsewhere and this result in different model releasing at different time?
I'm not sure that players are developed outside of Singapore. It does seem that Singapore has some different ideas to what folks are used to in Europe and the USA, in terms of releasing a consistent and stable range of players. Also releasing players to fix bugs in earlier players is not considered good form in Europe and the USA.
I think each region has very clear control over what they release, hence the variation.

Any way to upgrade firmware for Pioneer DVR-K06 DVD-RW drive?

Finally got around to replacing the factory SuperDrive in my Mac mini the other day. The original drive NEVER worked right out of the box -- would read some CDs but not others, always barfed on burning DL DVDs, etc. My last experience with getting a mini fixed under warranty (mobo on my 1.42 G4 took a dump after a few months) involved two three-hour round trips to the nearest (and I use the term loosely) Apple Store for service. It was cheaper for me to just replace the optical drive in this one than to do that drive again.
Anyway, enough complaining. The replacement drive has firmware v1.01 and I would like to get it up to the latest available firmware to take advantage of any compatibility, stability, etc. fixes since v1.01. Problem is that I can't find any software that supports flashing the K06 drive. Hope someone here has a solution. I don't have a Windows machine with appropriate connectors to hook the drive up to or I'd go that route ... plus I'd much rather do it on a Mac just on principle ... plus I don't want to have to disassemble the mini again.
Any solution?

Hello Sang,
I have Sun Ultra 40 Workstation which comes with Matshita DVD-RAM drive.
Mine has D100 firmware and I find other people who has the same drive on different system have D101, D200, D201 firmware.
So does anyone know how to contact Sun to get the latest firmware for my DVD-RAM drive?
I did contacted Matshita for this matter and they tell me to contact Sun.
I did review the Full Components List for the Ultra 40. The only DVD drives listed (Part No. 370-7970) are Panasonic UJ-485 and Teac DV-W28SLA-093. Both aren't capable of reading or writing DVD-RAM.
In some countries Panasonic uses Matshita as brand name.
I did a search on SunSolve with the keywords DVD firmware.
Sun supplies only firmware updates for two DVD readers: Toshiba DVD 1401 (fixes: unable to boot from Solaris 8 DVD) and Toshiba SD-C2732 (fixes: returns incorrect data).
I was unable to update the firmware of the SD-C2732 (Sun part) with the Sun patch. The drive was attached to an Ultra 10 (with an adapter). I ended attaching the drive to a PC and using a DOS boot floppy with the Toshiba flash program and the Sun firmware.
Regarding you problems with the drive: Have you tried another brand of media. The Ultra 40 is under warranty (GA date was February 14, 2006).
Use the contact information from your other thread.
If you search the net for firmware you can locate sites that offers region-code-free firmware for several drives. Usually they provide a flash program (requires creation of a DOS boot floppy). Using these programs/firmware voids your warranty. Maybe you can not revert the firmware upgrade.
These slimline drives have no jumpers, the installed firmware (of the drive) determines if the drive is master, slave, uses cable-select (CS) or reversed CS.

Upgrade Firmware for WRT54GS V.6

I am new to the wireless world and just purchased the WRT54GS V.6 router and it says I have downloads for this firmware. I have copied so many instructions I don't know where to start first. Can someone give me some advise as to what to do? Thanks for any information!!!

Hi, you seem to know the way around the router, so I hope you help me. I downloaded the new firmware for v6. and installed it. It call my attention the fact that the firmware started to load slowly, saying that it will restart, and about 40% it congratulate me for the work done, but no restart and after I restarted manually, no wireless!!! Any idea? from the first Easy Link I got a configuration on a pen flash drive, and everytime I restart, I use it, but it is not automatic like it used to be on my older router. Besides the fact that I have to have the computer wired to get it wireless, which is absurd. Thanks if you can help

Question about the new firmware for Zen Mi

Does the recent update for the Micro allow the user to use Zen Micro Media Explorer unlike the update from December?

You have to upgrade the Explorer version to the one that is enabled for "MTP" firmware, which can be downloaded for free from the creative download section. I'm using the beta firmware, and it works pretty well for me, and I like the autosync feature with WMP0.

Cannot upgrade Firmware on Zen Mi

Just bought a Zen Micro yesterday, it came with the .0.03 firmware.
Wanted to upgrade to version 2 firmware because I used WMP and XP. Also would like to be able to drag and drop using windows Explorer.
However everytime I try to upgrade the firmware, the firmware upgrade application on the PC is waiting for the Zen to reboot even if it did. The player formats his dri've, then reboot, then waits forever.
I even unplugged the Zen after 30 minutes... everything is fine on the player, it still has the .0.03 firmware.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is the MediaSource detector on? If yes, try turning it off. Start MediaSource -> Tools -> Settings -> Detector.

Hi , here is the problem..... The firmware 1.52.02 is for the model no BEFW11S4 V4.0 and i believe you have BEFW11S4 V3.0...
Download the firmware 1.45.10 for BEFW11S4 V3.0 and you should be able to upgrade the firmware successfully.

What to do if new firmware for zen micro is not for you

Ok its pretty simple, takes long but it should work (never been tested)
Uninstall the new firmware (keep all your songs saved onto PC music library)Install the cd you were given with the zen micro.You'll have all your songs on your pc library ( i would reccomend clearing out you zen micro music library and just putting the pc music library songs on your zen micro from there) so just transfer all the files you want onto the zen micro and it should be running fine.please reply and tell me what happens.Zenmastertml

Hi Prakash,
As per GAAP - FI general accepting account principal,
Balance is define as on date,
while transaction/P&L can define for perticular period date range.
Here, I guess you want to see balance as on 30.06.2011
and transaction for 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011.
Am i right?
FYI, If you use 0BALANCE for any period, let say 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011
then it will show balance for last day 30.06.2011
because its aggregation is SUM, LAST Value on time characteristics.
More detail on requirement will help us to provide you better solution.

Can't Download Any Firmware for Zen V Plus

? I've tried to update my little old Zen V Plus by downloading the latest firmware and applications, but I keep getting error messages. One error says "C:\Windows\system32\regsvr32.exe not found" and the other error has the code of 2472332. I'm running Windows XP Media Edition (2002) and Windows Media Player . My Creative Media Explorer won't let me add new media, and while I know I can do this via the Windows Media Player, I'd actually prefer to use the Creative Explorer. What am I doing wrong here? I've done device manager and updated the drivers, and my Zen V Plus is still detected. My USB is fine. Is there anything else I should do before I uninstall and reinstall all my Creative software? I still have my disc, and upon reinstalling the Media Explorer, the option to add media was greyed out. I'd truly appreciate any suggestions, and thanks in advance!

Just an update on my initial post, if anyone even noticed!
I was able to install new firmware, but not any software like Creative Source. It simply won't open. This goes for the Media Explorer as well. Using my disc, I'm still getting the same error codes. The video converter opened, but it doesn't recognize my player as being plugged in. I was able to roll back to Windows Media Player 0, but my system wouldn't let me install Service Pack 2. So now what? I'd like to be able to convert videos and add music through the Media Explorer instead of Windows Explorer. Once again, any thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks. I'm really at my wits' end.

Problems with upgrading firmware in Zen Micro 4

I am currently having a problem with upgrading the firmware on my Zen Micro 4 GB. The Zen Micro seems to hang right after the first reboot, therefore not finishing the whole upgrade. I am currently trying to upgrade to 2.2.02. It seems that whenever I try to reboot the Zen Micro while it is connected via USB, it hangs at the Creative Logo and I have to end up resetting the system. Oddly enough, I have a second Zen Micro that I was able to upgrade the firmware with no problems whatsoever. Any suggestions?
P.S. I do have Windows XP SP2 with WMP 0 installedMessage Edited by Hubmasterflex on 0-07-2006 04:23 AM

Try using reload OS in the recovery mode to erase the current firmware, then connect to the PC and reload. You take a risk doing this though as if the firmware won't reload from the PC you'll be left with an effecti'vely useless player, and you'll have to contact support to get a replacement.
