WRT160nv2 Firmware upgrade gone wrong

Hi,
    Im having trouble with my WRT160nv2.  I upgraded to the latest firmware using the Internet explorer and .bin file downloaded from this website.  After the upgrade completed i tried to restart but the router is no completely no responsive.  I cant access it via wired ethernet or wireless and its not broadcasting a signal.  I downloaded the setup wizard and it cannot access the router either.  Anyone else have similair issues or have any input would be greatly appreciated.

As you upgraded the router's firmware,I would suggest you to reset the router for 35 seconds,power cycle the and re-configure the router from scratch.

  • WRT160Nv2 Firmware upgrade fried my router, returning to store.

    I was upgrading my firmware to the new 2.0.0.3 because it couldn't do much worse. I was wrong. 12% into my upgrade it crashed and never came back up. I have done every reset out there and customer service helped me through them all again and has given me a case number in case I need it for the return. Good luck everyone. (Modem was less than 60 days old)

    CISCO should put a warning to no updating by wireless.
    Now i'm stuck with a jammed wrt160nv2.

  • Wrt160nV2 Firmware Upgrade (Fix this defective firmware!)

    When can we expect an upgrade to the firmware for wrt160nV2? We all know that Ver.2.0.02 of the firmware is incredibly flawed.
    Please give your customers a firm date as to when this will happen.

    I don't have much time to discuss morals...
    #1 the link doesn't work PaulW... or the site just happens to be having problems at this moment.
    #2 this product has defective firmware. it can only effectively be used as a wireless access point. It was not my intention to purchase a wireless access point.
    #3 This is V2 not V1, there is no firmware update for V2 yet.
    #4 linksys came out with firmware fixes for wrt54gx so they can do it for the wrt160nV2
    #5 its time to stop selling products with defective firmware
    #6 its time for their Quality Assurance program/department/management to step up and demand a highler level of quality
    Customers deserve it.
    Thank you

  • IOS 8 upgrade gone wrong - how do I get my data back?

    I was upgrading my iPhone 5S to iOS 8 today using iTunes. Halfway through iTunes through an "unknown" error and recovered my phone back to the factory settings. I don't have any backups on either iTunes or iCloud (don't ask why).
    I did a search for data recovery tools and it seems there are many out there that claim can get data back. Has anyone used any of these data recovery tools. Can they recover data in this situation?
    I have lots of contacts, Messages and Notes which are gone forever if I can't recover them.
    Many thanks.

    If your phone is back to factory condition, there's nothing to recover.
    I won't ask why you didn't make a backup before upgrading as you requested.  Doesn't mean I'm not baffled. 

  • Firmware flash gone wrong

    Hi,
    I have the 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition board which uses the Micron® JMB361 chipset.
    I needed to flash a sunix PCI card, in order to make it get the it to be used as an IDE card, in my system last night. I used Hirens boot cd and it loaded the drivers for the Jmicron chipset when I booted into DOS. Then when I flashed the card something went wrong and after a couple of screens of garbage it finally said something about Jmicron blah blah blah. Anyway I then booted up my machine and I can use windows fine, but as soon as I transfer data my pc just hangs.
    So I was wondering anyone who has the same board can backup there firmware and supply me with the firmware for this Jmicron chipset so that I can reflash it?

    I still don't understand what this has to do with JMicron chipset/mainboard at all.  The JMicron BIOS is usually updated when you flash your mainboard's BIOS.
    What happens if you remove your PCI card?
    Quote
    fter a couple of screens of garbage it finally said something about Jmicron blah blah blah
    It would be good to know what kind of message you actually got.  "Something/blah blah blah" doesn't really help, does it?
    Quote
    as soon as I transfer data
    Please be more specific.
    Provide full system specs.  How many hard drives and optical drives are connected to the system?  What ports are they hooked up to?
    There are four SATA ports and one IDE port hosted by the Intel ICH7DH Controller and one additional SATA port + a secondary IDE port hosted by the JMicron Controller.  If you use only the Intel ports to connect your drives and disable the JMicron Controller in BIOS, do you have problems as well? Please try.

  • Another iphoto 6 "upgrade" gone wrong

    I am not sure what happened. I am using a PowerBook G4 and was running iPhoto 5.0.4. Somewhere along the line, somehow, I upgraded to iPhoto 6. I would have never paid for it...maybe a trail version got thown into the automatic updates??
    I now have both library.iphoto and library6.iphoto files in my iphoto file.
    When I go to open iPhoto i get an error that reads.
    You can't open your current iphoto library using this version of iphoto.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
    I am not sure how to fix this. Please help

    molz
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Virtually every major release of iPhoto has involved changes to the library structure. When you upgrade there is a message saying that iPhoto needs to upgrade your library and that it will not be readable by earlier versions of the app.
    The only fix for your issue is to upgrade to the same version as your parents.
    Alternatively, you can access the DVD via the Finder and drag the pics from the Originals folder to your iPhoto. You'll get the pics but none of the albums, slideshows, metadata etc.

  • Hard Drive and RAM upgrade gone wrong - please help!

    I have a 2+ year old Mac Mini Core Solo that I recently decided to upgrade. Originally it had a 80GB hard drive and 512MB of RAM and I installed a 250GB Western Digital drive and upgraded to 2GB of RAM.
    Everything went smooth with the reinstall of OSX and the Mini was actually working, Internet was working etc. I was in the process of downloading and installing all of the Mac SW updates and that went on for several minutes, it actually got through most of them and then a screen came up to tell me to restart the computer. I did and then got the same screen. Which was the gray screen with the restart message and a message like this:
    panic (cpu 0 caller 0x00398C43); unable to find driver for this platform: "ACPI"
    (Then there was a bunch of hexidecimal debugging jibberish and then some kernel version info.)
    So I held down on the option key while doing the restart and tried to start from the internal disc and also start from the install disc. I can get to where I've reinstalled the first disc again, but then when I have to restart the computer to load the second disc I get the gray restart screen again with the above info.
    During one of the attempts I brought up utilities and did a scan of the internal HD for defects and all the repair steps but it always said that everything was fine. When I bring up the general computer info it shows that I have 2GB of RAM. So it recognizes the two items that I installed.
    So what do I do now? I am stuck on this issue and out of ideas, I havent tried to put back in the old hardware to test it, (but I would prefer not to as that doesnt really help me with the new stuff I bought).
    Sorry for the long post but I wanted to offer as much detail as possible in case there is something in there that triggers an idea with someone. I dont live in a huge city so theres no apple store within several hours drive from here.
    Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!
    crazychile

    Thanks for all the help.
    It is a kernel panic and unfortunately it can be caused by a bunch of things. But I think I have it figured out for now.
    My first step was to put the old RAM back in with the new HD, no change with the problem.
    Then I put the old HD back in with the old RAM (original config) and everything was back to normal.
    Then I tried the new RAM with the old HD and everything is also good. (and faster!)
    So it would appear that the new HD was flakey and needs to go back to OWC.
    Hey, I'm a pro at taking apart and rebuilding a Mini now!
    Thanks again for the help,

  • Nokia 5800 v50 firmware update gone wrong

    Hey guys,
    I installed v50 firmware over the air. I had to uninstall some programs because the update complained of lack of space, so I uninstalled Ovi client and related software and some location aware thing that I don't remember the name.
    Then flashed the firmware... all went well, phone turned on.
    While on the home screen after some seconds I got a message saying that something failed to install (it didn't say what). I still was able to use my phone however, now the camera software doesn't work.
    Any tips ? Do I need to do a hard-reset on the phone and install firmware again ? And how can I do a hard-reset ?
    Thanks a lot!

    Yes, since there is a space problem a hard reset would be a good option before reinstalling. Remember that it deletes everything so make sure you have a backup.
    A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
    1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
    2.) Reinsert battery
    3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
    4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
    5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
    A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

  • HELP ME WITH HDX18 CPU UPGRADE GONE WRONG

    I am not a regular member of this forum and logged on today because I really need help
    Here is the story. I wanted to upgrade my old HP HDX18 to the Q9100 processor which is the highest one listed in the service manual. I studied the manual intently and made sure this was an ok upgrade.
    I disassembled the notebook exactly as it was done in the manual down to the motherboard. I installed the Q9100 and then reassembled exactly as it was in the manual. I found with the hard drive connected, a Crucial M4 SSD-solid state drive, the computer came on for about 10 seconds getting to the windows logo and then shut down. However, with the drive disconnected I found that I could access the bios and the computer would not shut down.
    I decided to reinstall the old processor and the exact same thing happened. I ran diagnostic tests while in the bios screen with the drive connected and it appeared all was ok. When the drive was reconnected I got this error screen.
    I did use Phobya HeGrease. The Q9100 processor was a used processor off of ebay. I looked on the Intel website and it is unlikely this is an engineering sample.
    I searched the internet and found that some others have had this exact same problem and they corrected by reseating the CPU. I looked at the CPU again and found that this seems fairly simple. It seems like its in their securely. Its just a drop in and screw. When its locked, I cant seem to get it out with my hands.
    I read some articles about how too much Thermal paste might cause this to happen and I probably had on a bit too much.
    So please help me out with any ideas. Right now my HDX18 is in a pile on the floor.
    Thanks for your help!
    Here is a video of exactly what is happening and you can see an error code in the diagnostic log which comes up towards the end of the video.

    Hi,
    The good thing is that the cpu is probably not the issue. I have noticed that a memory test failed so it could be magnetized during the disassembly/assembly. If you remove the ssd and are able to access the BIOS, it might suggest that the problem is the ssd. Make also sure that the memory is compatible with the cpu as better cpus support faster memory.

  • Firmware Update Gone Wrong

    I'm on a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, trying to install the Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.3.
    It won't install.
    I follow the directions, and on restart, it still prompts me for the flippin' install, and says to rinse and repeate. On reboot, it does not bring up the firmware update status bar that I'm used to seeing on previous updates... but instead, just boots as normal.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated !

    Thanks for the help everyone.
    It is indeed a 15 inch, and I did just try the 1.0 update, then the firmware update again, but no dice. It still won't boot up and do the update for some odd reason.
    Here is my hardware configuration fwiw:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro3,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP31.0070.B00
    SMC Version: 1.16f8
    As you can see, the SMC is not at the correct number either.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.
    Thanks !

  • UPGRADE GONE WRONG...

    I have an iPod photo...I had around 7000 songs, a few photos...and some downloads from limewire on it. I upgraded to the latest version...so here is what happened:
    1. Suddenly, my music collection will no longer fit on my ipod...previously, the collection was circa 6k songs 17 megs....it is now 70+megs
    2. All songs in the library are at least dulpicated, some quintupled.
    3. My limewire dls are now showing 1.6mb each (really).
    I wish I hadn't bothered, I restored my ipod as it had backed up with everything, twice, treble, etc...
    I spent a few hours, manually deleting the EXTRA repeats in iTOONS library but, still no result worth mentioning.
    Can I have my old itunes and disk space back, I had photos and all sorts on there too and it's all messed up
    Solution??
    Any help would be most welcome.
    Graham

    Additional, not that it will help...
    after having dl the latest itoons, when the ipod was docked, it showed around half space free, but when sync was done..., you guessed it, not enough space....on the ipod...so what on earth is going on???

  • HD Upgrade gone WRONG!!! OS dvd wont boot after HD format

    I just upgraded my original 160 GB Hard Drive to the Seagate Momentus 500GB HD 7200 RPM. Loaded in the install dvd for Leopard 10.5 that I was sent from Apple Care. Went into Disk Utilities and formated the HD into one partition, GUID and Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)(Source: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2131586&tstart=45).
    Then I went to actually install the OS, using "first time install" and an error message popped up. I ejected the dvd to try again, now my Macbook wont boot from the installation dvd. I am holding down "C" as the computer turns on and the "apple", a folder with question mark" and a "circle with line through it" keeps flashing. When I hold down the "Option" button I see the icon for the dvd but when clicked nothing happens.

    Is your old hard drive functional? One option that avoids the install disc problem altogether is to clone your old drive.
    Replace the old drive in the MacBook. Then purchase a USB SATA enclosure--these can be had cheap most anywhere these days--and put the new drive in that.
    Plug the new drive into your MacBook, and use SuperDuper! to create a bootable clone:

    Install the new drive into your MacBook, and you're good to go.

  • Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

    Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About 2-3 days ago ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

    I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
    In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
    Here is a run-down of my process:
    0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
    1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    ( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
    2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
    3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
    Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
    4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
    5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
    Hope this helps.

  • WRT160Nv2 questions - no firmware upgrades?

    I just bought a WRT160Nv2 today, and although setting it up was very easy and quick..there's a couple of things I'm curious about...
    a) When I look for firmware upgrades, it only shows Version 1 and 3...not 2..why is that?? (I have version 2.0.02 build 008 Jul 27, 2008)
    b) Why is there no Wide-40MHz option in the Radio Band even though the 'help' clearly mentions it?? Is this a reason why I don't really notice a big difference in the range improvement over my old router? (Belkin 54g + another Belkin 54g router configured as AP) I have currently set the mode to MIXED, Radio Band to Standard 20MHz, and Standard channel on AUTO.
    Will the Wide Channel only apply if I have Wireless-N devices on the network?
    Oh and I have a follow-up 3rd question:
    c) I have a WiFi capable mobile phone (Nokia E65) which has 802.11b capability, and so far I have not been able to get it to work with the new router. I currently have a 11b device (the phone I mentioned), 2-3 11g devices, and I've just bought a Wireless-N adapter (WUSB600N) which I'll be using on a desktop...I'm just wondering what will happen when all three types of devices are going to be used, and if they'll all be able to work together without detriment to another (I guess mainly if the 11b phone will be usable when the N-device is active)
    Message Edited by deep_schismic on 05-27-2009 02:20 PM

    Yes, your router does not have a Wide-40MHz option in the Radio Band...You should try to change the Standard Channel to 1/9/11 and see the difference, also you can change the Beacon Interval to 75, Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 and RTS Threshold to 2304 under Advanced Wireless Settings to improve wireless range...

  • After the recent iPhoto upgrade, I've completely lost access to the application and my photos and it says that its not supported on this version of Mac. Any idea whats gone wrong?

    After a recent upgrade, I've completely lost iPhotos and all my pholto files.
    It now comes up with 'You cant open the application iPhoto because it is not supported on this type of Mac'
    Any ideas whats gone wrong?

    Reinstall it:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Maybe you are looking for
