WRT54GS v6 firmware problems...

i just bought my WRT54GS v6 router today. i installed everything the way the directions told me to and everything was working fine until i i tried to install the latest firmware. While the firmware was installing, i got an error about not being able to unpacc language file and the installation stopped right before it was gonna hit 100%. so i shrugged and thought maybe i can try to install it again. well i run the file again and after i put in my password and clicc next so it can upgrade my firmware it now says it cant connect to my router. i can go to my router's webpage but i the firmware cant connect to it. well i shrugged that off knowin that i can upgrade it manually. so i got my routers page and this is how it looks like:
and this is what the admin page looks like after i clicc on it:

Trying to Install WRE54G V3 to existing WRT54GS V6.
According to the WRE help screens, I understand that I need at least 2.07.1 firmware in the router (mine is currently @ 1.50.6)
However, when I go to download the firmware, the latest version available is 1.52.0
What am I not understanding/missing? Thanks, George
P.S> Even though I did download firmware V 1.52, I was not able to 'expand' it as my trial version of Stuffit claimed it could not recognize the file...)
What is the model number plus version of your router?
In your heading you say you have GS ...in your message you say you have a
G router You also say in your message you are upgrading from G V3 to GS
v6
If you have a G router you have to update to the latest G firmware not GS and vis versa

WRT54G updating firmware problem

I am trying to update a WRT54G v5 firmware using the TFTP.exe. When I enter the ip address (192.168.1.1) and my password, select the FW_WRT54Gv5v6_1.02.7.011_EN_20090727.bin file, click "Upgrade", I get "unable to get responses from server".
I am able to connect to the router via IE.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I have a similar problem but neither via webpage and tftp.exe do not work.
I need to do an upgrade because my webpage looks like ... it was mostly empty. Most of information is missing. And it looks like this on different computers, different softwears (firefox, ie, chrome, opera) and even deferent ethernet (I also tried to set it in my sister house, she has a differenet internet provider)... I can't tell when it happend. Once I just wanted to change wi-fi settings and it was like that.
After some trying (looking inside the source of page) I finally get to the page you should browse and browsed an upgrade file but OFCOROUSE "upgrade" button was also invisible and absent....
So...
I've read some more and found the solution: tftp.exe. I've download that, tried... and had the same problem. The information is: "unable to get response from server".
Guys, I really do not know what to do... I don't like the idea to buy a new router but I'm getting afraid that this is the only solution...
PS. If such problem was ovewritten somewhere else - I'm sorry. I could not find any similar. That's why I'm waiting.
I would be very happy for any help, and if someone is from Warsaw, Poland - I can buy a beer
PS 2. sorry for such plain and poor explenation, but I'm only a "lady"
Best,

Zen Vision:M - firmware problem

Hello!
I'm having some trouble with my Zen Vison:M 30 GB (I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit with SP2). After resetting the player I got the message "Firmware problem". The player displays this message until the battery is empty and if I reset the player once again it takes approximately 5 minutes "rebuilding libraries"(at least that's what I think it's called in English)?and then the "Firmware problem" is back.
Well, then I downloaded the MP3 recovery tool from Creative. After recharging the battery the recovery tool recognizes my Zen, downloads the firmware and... tells me that the player is not longer connected (it is actually).
Does anyone know how I can update my firmware or reboot the player? Any help would?be appreciated!!

It would be best to update the firmware on the XP computer. If you have WMP on the Xp computer you will need to rollack to WMP0 for the firmware file to see the player & update it.http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ionofthePlayer Emailing Creative will? tell you to come here & you already are hereMessage Edited by coachop94 on 07-20-2009 03:29 AM

Zen Vision M Firmware Problem!!! Can't deal with this thing any more...

Can't deal with this thing any more...3 Hello friends I'm new in the forum
Well as the title mentions, I'm about to throw this thing oute of the window!!!
It's a 30 GB Zen Vision M, I own it ,5 years now...
I have read all the relevant posts in the forum about this player, I tried my best, nothing really worked.....
So now I have a Zen which only boots in the recovery mode!!
I have Cleaned it Up, Formated it, and tried to reload its firmware BUT when I connect it and try to reload it, in the end it always says Firmware Upgrade Failed!!Really can't understand it!!!!!
I've communicated with Creative, i wasn't at all satisfied with their responses... I think what they're trying to do is to avoid me, and earn some time with really useless suggestions which I had already told them won't work!!!So in the end they wanted me to send my Zen in Italy and pay more than 100 Euros for what an ,5 year old mp3 player?No I prefer buying a new Cowon with that amount of money!!!
Anyways I'm pretty mad now, so I'll move to the subject..
I have Service Pack 3 Windows XP in my computer, and I did roll back on the Media Player 0 from the I had, using the instructions from a previous post. The truth is that it rolled back with less steps than it showed, and I say that because it mentions in a step that in the add-remove programms, in the Windows XP-Software Updates section, I should find a Windows Media player thing which really doesnt exist and I suspect it's the Service Pack 3 because I have done the same in a SP2 and worked exactly as the steps said..Anyway the fact is I have Windows Media Player 0 now!!!
Please someone tell why can't I upgrade my firmware... I can't deal with this anymore!!!!

So you say that I actually have the Windows Media Player 0, because my Zen is being recognised..
I have rebooted it several times but its just the same thing...it shows firmware problem!!
Why isn't this player working?I've seen many people, not only from here, who have the same exact problem and they gave up on their mp3... I dont have this kind of luxury to buy a new one!!I don't know whether Creative has put on this a "time bomb" or is just faulty, but I really wish it could be saved..
I'm saying it is WMP0 because the firmware file sees the player. The computer can recognize it but with WMP components that firmware file would be grayed-out..So when you reloaded the firmware did you choose "reload firmware" Before you connected it's?(That is what erases the firmware prior to uploading the firmware. If you did not do that it could cause it to fail.Do these ste

Zen Vision 30GB Firmware Problem - No solution wo

I have a Zen Vision 30GB (not a Zen Vision M or W, just a Zen Vision). On Friday I was trying to add songs to my Zen and halfway through adding the songs I got an error on the computer saying "player not connected". So I undocked the player, turned it off and reset my computer. Saturday morning I turned on my Zen to try to add songs again and I got the error message on my Zen?"Firmware Problem" and it put me in "Recovery Mode". The first thing I did was try to reload the firmware, but when I plugged the Zen to the computer it says "docked", but I cannot move through the menu. When I unhook it from the computer I can move through the menu. BTW I am running Windows Vista 32-bit. I have uninstalled the Zen software and installed the software off the Creative website for Vista, but when I try to run the firmware it says "Player not connected, please connect player."? When I plug the player in via USB my computer recognizes it and prompts me if I want to sync my player, so there isn't anything wrong with my USB connection. The?Device Manager recognizes it however Windows Media Player does not. I get the same error message when I try to do the Recovery Tool on the Creative website. I have looked for solutions on the forums and just doing Google searches, but I have not been able to get anything to work. Please help me!? The player is less than a year old. I have never had any problems with it before, never been dropped or anything like that, so i am not sure what is going on. Any help or suggestions would be great!? I sent an email to customer support yesterday and the reply I received this morning was no help. First they thought I had the Zen Vision M, even though I specifically said I had the Zen Vision and gave them the serial number and everything. I sent them back a message today and hopefully they can help, but it is frustrating having to send an email and wait around for a reply.

Re: Zen Vision 30GB Firmware Problem - No solution works\ I recently had this problem with a player i got off Ebay. What I did was format>cleanup>reboot the device thru the recovery screen on the the player. Problem solved . Be advised this will erase all the files (music ect.) http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3

Firmware problem with zen ex

Can anyone help me with this issue. I get the message firmware problem after I turn my player on and it tries to rebuild the libraries. I have tried to update the OS in the hope this would fix it but I got the same error. As you may have guessed I am new to this and have only had the player for month.

WEBSITE BLOCKING ON WRT54G V6 (Firmware Version: v1.02.8)

Hello Friends,
Short: why some webpages block and others don't using this feature in my router? As mentioned above, I run a small office and am using an ::: WRT54G V6 (Firmware Version: v1.02.8) ::: router.
For instance, I have been successful in blocking sites such as "sex.com" and others. Also, in blocking sites by keywords such as: news, music, vid, nude, etc. BUT, when I try blocking FACEBOOK or TWITTER either by URL or keyword, guess what: IT DOES NOT WORK...!
Any ideas why this happens and how can I be successful in configuring this feature??? I will appreciate this! Blessings...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Those sites have a random connection and DNS entries. Your best bet would be to use a DNS servcie like DDNS.com or OpenDNS.com service. Point your router to one of those DNS services and there DNS addresses, then set up one of those services to block FB and Twitter. If you use there DNS addresses on your router instead of the ISP DNS, and you block FB and Twitter, users should beable to get to FB or Twitter after that.

*URGENT* Firmware Problem On Zen To

Hey,
Ok so i was updating my firmware using the latest

computers and i have done it with the AC plug in
but still nothing works. The error i get when i
try to update is that (even though the computer
recognises the zen) the update firmware
application does not recognise and asks for it to
be plugged in (also nomad explorer does not
recognise it)
Please can you guys help?

I have also tried reverting to wmp0 but still on both computers no resultMessage Edited by Drakhra on 0-5-2006 03:32 PM

Interesting... I burnt all the necessary software to a CD (which included: JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.exe [Creative Zen Touch Drivers], ZenTouch_PCFW_L4__0_03.exe [Old Firmware update], and ZenTouchP4S_PCFW_LB_2__0.exe [Latest Firmware update]). loaded the CD onto a laptop. Installed JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.exe which are the drivers for my creative zen touch. With my Creative Zen Touch plugged in via USB port. it asked me to reconnect the device. I reconnected it. I attempted to install Firmware: ZenTouch_PCFW_L4__0_03 it gave me the same error before. Then I double clicked firmware ZenTouchP4S_PCFW_LB_2__0.exe and it recognized my Creative zen and is currently updating the firmware. Suggestion:if you have all these files on the computers try uninstalling and then reinstalling. Might be a trial by error thing. Hopefully this hel

I need help , 8GB ZEN has 'Firmware Problem' mess

Hi there I'm from Singapore & I bought a 8GB ZEN from West Mall's Harvey Norman last Oct .
Eariler on , I realised that my ZEN has a 'Firmware Problem' message displayed on the screen . I try as might to reset the player countless times but no matter what , the message still appears & to make things worst I tried to call the customer/techincal support hotlines but they're closed for the day :S
I don't know what happened , it was still working fine this morning when I brought it to Uni . Does anyone know how to solve this problem ?
Thanks
Karen

If you get the firmware error, you can go into the Recovery mode by holding down the Play/Pause button while turning on the unit. Then do a 'Reload Firmware'. This will clear the firmware. Download and run the Firmware update from the Creative website for the Zen. This should reaload the firmware with the latest version.
If that fails, just bring the Zen and the receipt down to the Creative service centre and they will take care of it.

If you are having firmware problems, enter h

Ok, if you are having firmware problems, like you can do nothing to your mp3 (in my case Zen Vision: M) or you're stuck in recovery mode because you erased your firmware and now you pc isn't recognizing your mp3 and you can't upgrade you firmware, don't worry, I got trought all of it and my Zen is now working =D I had to do a lot of things in order not to loose my mp3, and one of those things was reinstalling my windows xp =/... took me 2 or 3 days to install everything again and put the whole pc in order, but once it was finally done, I was able to upgrade my firmware, so if you are having this kind of issue, you can reinstall you operational system and it'll go back, at last came back with me But before reinstalling it, here a few things you can do: try to reinstall you USB drives, and when I say reinstall I really meant it! Fully unnistall it, get your motherboard cd drive and install it again, before downloading any upgrade for your USB, try it as it comes from the cd, if it doesn't work, then upgrade your USB drive. Since I had to reinstall everything from my computer, that includes that I had to reinstall SP and SP2, so if reinstalling USB doesn't work, you can also unnistall SP and SP2 and see if that can work, although is pretty hard and annoying to do it, if you really like you MP3 and if you don't want to waste more money on it, I highly advise you to do it. So after you reinstall SP, SP2 and USB and your mp3 is still coming up with firmware error, DON'T WORRY! Go to creative.com, look for support, download, and check for firmware download, they have firmware upgrades, mine goes for the name of Creative ZEN Vision:M 30 GB Firmware .62.02, at http://us.creative.com/support/downl...type=4&x=8&y=9 If still none of these settings worked for you, then you can reinstall your operational system, having in mind that althought it was very simple for me (yeah, I know something about computer and I've reinstalled my XP a ton of times), it can get some people into trouble and it can damage your HD if you have no clue on what you're doing. If that's your case, call someone you trust to do it. You can also find some tutorials at the internet teaching you on how to do it. I hope this can help all of you that had the same problem as I did Anything else I can do for you, just ask.YoursMonttanha

My player is currently stuck in recovery mode. My player isn't supported by the mp3 recovery tool offered on this site. I have been thru 3 micros because of the jack problem. On my 4th episode I finally had a friend that works in computer welding fix the jack for me. It has worked flawlessly for .5 years now until I had this recovery mode freeze happen. I was hoping I would be able to get it going thru the help of Creative or some of the Gurus on this site. Well, I have given up. So, I thought I would go and check out some of the players similar to mine and order a new one. Well I was going to check out a 6 Gig player and they want $250 for it. The new 80 Gig Zune is $250. Not to bring up another player but to me, that is a no brainer. I don't really have any use for a player that big but for the money and what you get compared to what they are offering here, Creative isn't leaving me too much choice. My wife still has a Micro Photo but I guess it will be time for me to step up and try something different. I really like staying loyal, but Creative isn't really giving me any competitive choices to do so. I would like to say thanks to all the nice people on this site. I really appreciate all of the information on here.

Nothing after "Firmware Problem&qu

Hi there, Ima noob, and I just recieved a second hand Zen touch and thought it was great for the first day. I started by downloading the drivers, no problem, cool now I can manipulate things. Next I downloaded an application, still no problem. I syncronized the player and the computer to try to save some of the music before I started to add and delete. Did not work right, but no worries, most of the music was not of my taste. Anyway here is the deal, I downloaded some mp3's from a file to the player and the computer said it was done. Now it is locked up and after a reset it says "re-building library" and then goes to the "firmware problem" and there is nothing after that. Neither of my computers will recognize the player and nothing seems to work. Can I retrieve this at all, or is it now a 2 day old paperweight?ThanksSteve

Well, see, now that was the problem. I could not understand how to do that. I had clicked on a link and it said to hold the power button while re-installing the battery. So I did and got no where. I may not be the sharpest hook in the tackle box, but Im not completely out of it either. Well long story short, and long searches, and many differing tries, I finally found the detail that I had missed earlier and got to the recovery screen(even that didnt work immediately). It all is working normally (as normal as it sounds like?that they can)?ThanksSteve?

I got a firmware problem on my zen extra please hel

i was trying to upgrade the Firmware on my Zen Xrta with the PlayForSure but it stops updating and i shut the mp3 player down and now im stuck at rescue mode...i tryed to reload the Firmware but it gives me a MTP device, and don't show up in Windows Media Player beta, Realplayer, or Media Source...when i turn it on it said Firmware Problem and just does on the rescue mode...i want to get out of rescue mode so i can put my songs on..if i sound mean it because i been frusted at this...

For all those still suffering from this problem I managed to get it fixed. While searching about for other people with the same problem I found one post where someone said their player wasn't being recognised and he was recommended to go back to Windows Media Player 0 (instead of ). He said he did it and now it worked. So I did the same (after a few problems with windows I got back to an older version of WMP). I then found on the knowledgebase page a link for people having problems with connection. There are then 2 pieces of software from microsoft (updates I think) it says to install. After I did this and restarted the computer I was able to run the firmware update again and this time the player was recognised, and now it works .
This is the link to the thing on the knowledgebase http://ask.europe.creative.com/SRVS/....com,case=9287
Hope this will also work for you guys.

HH3 firmware problem or can anyone explain this?

Hi All,
I am getting fairly frustrated with the problem in that I set my Win 2008 R2 server on DHCp and tell the router to "always use" 192.168.1.75. My remote services all work when i setup the port forwarding but when I come back the next morning not nothing works and my router table shows the detail below.
I have tried another HH3 but wondering if this is a firmware problem in the router or is there any reason why Win 2008 r2 would cause this problem?
Any advice as I am at the end of my rope here?

Once you have configured your server to a static IP address, you must remove any entry in the DHCP table of the home hub. On the earlier home hubs you could just delete the name of the device and it was gone.
Not sure about the HH3, you may have to reset it to factory default.
Looking at your logs, its still trying to allocate and address from the DCHP pool, which is why you are having problems.
