WRT54G v8.2 failed firmware upgrade problem

Today I tried to upgrade my WRT54G v8.2 router to the latest firmware from Linksys. But the upgrade kept repeating itself every time when the progress bar reached about 75%. This lasted more than 30 minutes and I had to stopped the upgrade. Then the router stopped working. I've reset and hard reset the router. I also tried the tftp method to upgrade the firmware again. But the problem is still there. When I ping 192.168.1.1, I constantly get the "Destination host unreachable" message. Anyone could help me fix this problem? The power light and the ethernet port light are always on. Is there any way to fix the problem? Any information is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Solved!

Do not use the wireless computer to upgrade the firmware.Hard-reset the router for 1 minute and try this link and check if that works...

  • E90 firmware upgrade problems

    Recently, I upgraded my E90's firmware from the version 7.xx to 300.34.84. I backed up all the data on the phone prior to the firmware upgrade - as required for the retention of software certificates and data. 
    Some of the trouble I'm having now is with the Download! folder, specifically the Applications subfolder - it does not update it's content - actually, it's totally unaccessible. Also, the Windows Live Application no longer works - and I'm unable to download a fresh copy as a result of the problems with the Download! folder. Prior to the firmware upgrade, I had using the Windows Live Messenger application and the Windows Live email/messaging synchronising facility in the Messaging folder hitch-free for about three months.
    Any ideas?  Thanks  
    By the way, I don't think the upgrade in this case has much merit. Other than the A-GPS, there's no real substance in 300.34.84.
    Symbian connected me to the world, to my dreams.. Thank-you Nokia

    I just saw a post for the exact same problem on an E71. Search 'E71 Download! folder: Service Not Available' by hazz on this site. See my problem is I'm not too interested in the third-party software available from ea.mobile.nokia.com/ea/apps/. I'm interested in the ones that become available in the Download! folder, under Applications. When I click on Applications, the chevron appears, followed by the progress bar, which fills almost completely, then shows the this message: 'Catalog update failed!' I believe my internet connection is working fine - I watch youtube on the device often.
    This week, a new link appeared - U2 - Get On Your Boots - which great, 'cause U2 rocks. But, Applications remains dead - even if I remove it from the list and click - Options/Select/Refresh List.
    I got around the Windows Live problem by using the awesome Nokia Messaging (email) [http://email.nokia.com], and the instant messaging application mxit. Besides those minor issues, I think the E90 is a pretty awesome device.
    Thanks

  • WRT54G Ver 1.1 Firmware Upgrade

    I was experiencing some connection problems that were causing me to cycle the power on my router a few times a week. I decided to upgrade the firmware to 4.21.1 hoping to resolve this issue. The firmware upgrade completed and all configuration settings were put back as I had before the upgrade.
    Since the update, I cannot connect to the internet through my DSL when connecting through the router. I can connect to the internet when my computer is directly connected to the modem. I called Linksys and I was told to reset the router three times. Had no results.
    Can anyone help me out with this? Or is there a place where I can download the old firmware that I originally had?
    I have a WRT54G ver 1.1 and Bellsouth DSL
    Thanks
    (Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)
    Message Edited by JOHNDOE_06 on 11-20-2007 08:55 AM

    --Update--
    I solved the problem. The Bellsouth DSL modem is in bridge mode after it is either reset (hard button) or configured via the web utility.
    WITHOUT connecting the router to the modem, configure the router to be PPPoE insted of DHCP. If the router is connected to the modem while still in DHCP mode, the modem will assume the router is a computer. This will kick the modem out of bridge mode.
    So the steps to solve the problem are:
    1) Disconnect ethernet between router and modem.
    2) Reset modem / put in bridge mode.
    3) Connect to router via web utility and configure PPPoE settings.
    4) Connect router and DSL modem via ethernet cable.
    (Mod Note: Edited due to non-compliance of forum guidelines.)

  • **SPA2102 FIRMWARE UPGRADE PROBLEM WITH 5.2.12

    I'm having problems loading firmware 5.2.12 onto my SP2102-R ATA.  I have my laptop PC running Windows 7 directly with an ethernet cable from my laptop to the ethernet connection on the back of the SPA2102.  I run the .bin file and In order to get the software to the upgrade stage I have to enter ****, 73738 1# to move to the next stage.  I have now been waiting for 1/2 hour waiting for firmware download request from SPA.  IT DOESN'T GET PASS THIS STAGE.......CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL WHAT I'M DOING WRONG OR WHAT I NEED TO DO DIFFERENT?
    Thanks......

    Based on my experience with the SPA2102-NA, it is not necessary to do a factory reset (*73738) in order to perform a firmware upgrade/downgrade.
    However, now that you have done so, any and all previous user settings will have been reset to the original factory settings (including user set passwords - assuming your ATA is an un-locked SPA2102-NA).
    If you think the firmware 5.2.12 is faulty, then repeat the upgrade/downgrade process by downgrading back to an earlier version:

    If you are still having problems, see if this tutorial will reveal any procedural issues:

  • X4600m2 bios/ilom firmware upgrade problem

    In the X4600m2 downloads, under Software 2.3, in the firmware category, I downloaded ILOM-3_0_3_31_r42822-Sun_Fire_X4600M2.ima (md5 checks out). I can't install the new firmware however (using the ILOM cli):
    -> load -source tftp://172.22.95.215/ILOM-3_0_3_31_r42822-Sun_Fire_X4600M2.ima
    NOTE: A firmware upgrade will cause the server and ILOM to
          be reset. It is recommended that a clean shutdown of
          the server be done prior to the upgrade procedure.
          An upgrade takes about 6 minutes to complete. ILOM
          will enter a special mode to load new firmware. No
          other tasks can be performed in ILOM until the
          firmware upgrade is complete and ILOM is reset.
    Are you sure you want to load the specified file (y/n)? y
    Do you want to preserve the configuration (y/n)? n
    Image is not for this platform.
    Firmware image update failed.
    ->With all previous releases this worked fine.
    Update: the upgrade on the ILOM web interface also fails.
    I'm running this version currently:
    -> version

    Any idea why this is failing? I've tried both preserving and not preserving the configuration.

  • Had a failed Firmware Upgrade on a Zen??? LOOK INSIDE FOR POSSIBLE

    From the Nomadness.net forums: (I had the same problem and user inferno9 at those forums posted this which fixed my issues - hope it helps!)
    The problem was that I had formatted the dri've and attempted to reload the firmware, when, BOOM, the firmware updates would not detect the player. I tried all kinds of different strategies, different drivers, different applications, safe mode, etc...until I FINALLY figured it out.
    Buried deep within Microsoft's website, I found this link...

    Issues updating firmware on Creative ZEN portable devices after installing Windows Media Player
    If you have a Creative ZEN device, make sure the device has the latest firmware before you install the beta release of Windows Media Player . To download the latest firmware, go to Creative Worldwide.
    If you try to upgrade the firmware on your Creative ZEN after you install the beta release of Windows Media Player , the Creative firmware upgrade software might not recognize your device.
    In this case, remove Windows Media Player , update the Creative firmware, and then reinstall Windows Media Player . Creative plans to address this issue in future firmware updates.
    For information about removing the beta release of Windows Media Player , see Rolling back to a previous version of the Player.

  • Nokia n80 firmware upgrade problems

    Hi all i just tried to do a firmware upgrade using the nokia sites stuff and my pc crashed and now my fone wont turn on could some1 please tell me
    1 if this is terminal
    2 if i can sort this out myself
    3 point me in the right direction for the info i need to sort out my 3 week fone
    4 how much i should expect to pay if i HAVE to go to a shop to get it sorted
    thanks in advance for any help given

    Right first thing I would try is to connect your mobile to your pc and try running NSU again. If it connects to your N80 great you should be able to just start over.
    (Tips: Run only the NSU on PC close all other programmes down. and ensure your N80 is charged fully or at least plug your charger into the N80 whilst doing the update.)
    If your N80 Isn't recognised by the NSU then its dead and the only way go revive the poor little things is to:
    1: Take is to a Nokia Service Centre. Carphone warehouse is usually your closest NSC, If your lucky they will have an 'on site' techinician and he will fix your N80 within an hour or same day, if not then you will have to leave it with them for a week or so.
    2: Call your Service provider, tell them your N80 just went bye bye and they should swap it for you or at least give you a refurbished N80.
    You won't be charged by the Nokia Service Centre for any work done as your within your warrenty and if you choose to go back to your service provider you should also be covered. This has happened to me and I sent my N80 back to O2 they had a refurbished model sent back to me within a couple of days with no charges.

  • 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 ?

    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.

  • WRT54GS v7.2 firmware upgrade problem caused Router to "Brick"

    Hello,
    I accidentally “bricked” my Linksys Router WRT54GS v7.2. I tried everything on your website to un brick it, but it still does not work. I have 5 solid lights (4 where the cat5 attaches and 1 internet light). I cannot log into the router and ping 192.168.1.1 does not work along with no network.
    I took it apart thinking I can take a jeweler’s to a “short pin’s 15 and 16, but this has the Broadcom (not Intel)  chips so I do not know which one is the flash chip and what pins to use.
    Can you advise? Can you tell me what flash chip and location?
    Thanks

    Are you referring to this procedure? Have you tried 30-30-30 reset?

  • Firmware upgrading problem

    I am using WRT54G wireless router version 7.2 when i try to upgrade it to any further version e.g. "8.0" i get "Upgrade are failed!" message. Any help appreciated.

    It sounds like you are trying to use firmware for the WRT54G version 8.0.
    Your router's version is based on the hardware that is built into the router.  You cannot change the version of your router, except by buying a new router.
    However, the router's firmware can be upgraded.  You must use firmware that is posted for your version of the router.  So, if you have a version 7.0 or 7.2 router, you must use firmware that is posted for that version of the router.

  • After firmware upgrade problem CP1025NW

I have tried running the updater both through a USB connection to the printer and a wireless connection. Both result in the same error.
    After that on the printer is blinking caution sign and I cant print anymore (, I think soft erase old firmware and did not record new one.

  • Airport Extreme 7.1 Firmware Upgrade - problems with Airdisk

    I recently upgraded the Airport Extreme firmware from 7.0 to 7.1 but have experienced several problems.
    After the initial upgrade, I encountered a double NAT warning, which was fixed by switching into Bridge mode, followed by an invalid IP address warning. I rebooted the AE and the warning disappeared.
    Connecting to the wireless network is ok, except that it can never remember my connection (which is a closed WPA2 Personal network) and I have to manually re-connect every time I switch on the nac - with my previous Airport Express this would remember the network and re-connected automatically.
    Worst of all however is that I can no longer see my AirDisk - a LaCie 500 GB USB HD connected to the AE.
    The disk name is simply upper case ASCII and so I cannot understand why this is occurring. It worked perfectly using version 7.0. Has anyone else had these problems or aware of a workaround?
    MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The 7.1 update has caused problems for many many people.
    What I did to solve problems was to revert back to 7.0. here's a link to a post I made over at jmacrumors.com explaining how to do it:

    Message Edited by jokerady on 28-Feb-2008 10:03 PM

    Sadly something has gone wrong with the update leaving the phone unusable. You can try a hard reset but remove the sim and memory card first.
    Hard reset:
    1. Switch off the phone.
    2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
    3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
    4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selction screen.
    If this fails the your only option is to get it repaired. If you are in Europe you get a 2 year warranty, not 1 year.

  • Creative Zen Xtra Firmware Upgrade Problems v1

    While trying to upgrade the firmware on my Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra, there was a problem with the upgrade. I'm now stuck in rescue mode v.3. When I plug the MP3 player into the computer, Windows will recognize it and asks me what to do. I exit that window and try to run the firmware update again. The firmware program tells me "Your player is not connected, please connect your player."? there are 2 options "Upgrade" and "close". Upgrade is greyed out, but close is clickable. I've tried
    1. clean up,
    2. format all,
    3. reload OS and
    4. Reboot.
    None of those options seems to do me any good. I've uninstalled all the Creative software from my computer, but still no luck. Please help me. I'm doing my best to avoid having to go buy an iPod, but if I can't get my Creative Mp3 player to work, I guess I will have to. I have spent a lot of money between cables, the docking station and the leather case. I'd hate for all this to be wasted, so please help me.
    I've tried to "reload the OS" and then clicked on the language the moment the Player told me to start the update. Someone please shed some light on this for me. I've tried email Customer Support. I've searched Google. I've put my best skills on it and of course I've scoured this website to no prevail. Someone help me out.

    READ ALL BEFORE PROCEEDING You do need to install the driver. http://support.creative.com/Products...e=MP3+Players# When you get to the page for your player bottom left the manual selection choose Xp & clik submit the driver should be the first one version 2.0.00 .After the driver is installed when you plug in the player check in device manager to see that it shows up there Start>Control Panel> System>Hardware>Device Manager look under Portable Devices or for the name of the player. Use a rear USB Port to assure a good connection. Then run the firmware file on the computer ,choose reload firmware or Os on the player,choose language when player asks for update(the pop-up from windows indicating that it "sees" the device DO NOT CLOSE IT.)
