WRT350N firmware upgrade not working

Hi, I've just been given an unused WRT350N router.
I've had a few problems getting it setup on my MAC (OSX 10.5.6), but it transpired they were problems using Firefox which were resolved when I started using Safari. However, I still have one outstanding problem with upgrading the firmware....
I want to upgrade the firmware from the original 2.0.10 to the latest available of 2.0.19. I have downloaded this from the Support page, which gives me a readme text file and a .IMG file which i presume is the firmware file (all instructions I have found imply it should be a .BIN file)
I have connected my router to the MAC using a wired connection and followed the firmware upgrade instructions (selecting the .IMG file), followed the rest steps (including using the hardware reset button, and the software factory defaults option), but when the router comes back up it still says its at firmware 2.0.10.
I get no error messages, and have noticed that at the end of the upgrade it does NOT display the "Upgrade is sucessful, rebooting.." message.
I have been through this several times with same results. Any ideas please ?
Thank in advance.
Solved!

I have this same problem now with firmware for WAG54GS   the zip file produces a .IMG file after running winzip
This file is not acceptable to the firmware upgrade as a .BIN file.
The firmware is expecting a .bin format.   It does not like this .IMG file.
The documentation all refers to .bin.
Just renaming the file as .bin causes the linksys to abandon the upload.
I am on a Windows XP.       .BIN is UNIX/LINUX terminology.    Do I have to do the firmware upgrade on Linux?
Tried to get some software to checkout the   .img file but nothing likes it.
WAG54GSv1-E1-AnnexB-ETSI-ML-1.01.05-code.img is what my winzip gets.
What am I supposed do with this file to get it into the right shape for the     WAG54GS?
It wants   .bin file    not this?

Graphics firmware upgrade not working

Hi, I have a 24" iMac 2008 it requires a graphics card upgrade for installing windows 7 i have 10.7 lion running, but it says on checkingavailable disks that it cannot be installed on this disk as it needs 10.6 any ideas the update says 10.6 or later

I see where you are making an error, the advice letter you pointed to refers to:
Download and install the Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 if you run Microsoft Windows 7 using Boot Camp on your iMac (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or 7600 GT) or Mac Pro (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT or Quadro FX 4500) computer.
The early 2008 iMac uses the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB of GDDR3 memory per
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP485
Therefore your system does NOT need the graphics update you're attempting to download.

New Creative ZEN Firmware 1.21.03" firmware does not work

>New Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03" firmware does not work This new "Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03, Filesize : 7.6 MB" firmware does not work.
All I get is : "Please make sure there is only one player connected" (See image below)
I have a CreativeZen 4GB player with Vista 64-Bit Operating system (Main System).
Yes, I have followed the instructions step-by-step, downloaded the new firmware first, then, connected my ZEN player, double-clicked the "ZEN_PCFW_L22__2_03" downloaded file.
Note : No other programs were running in the backround, even turned off installed firewall and anti-virus software. Also, tried this new firmware in a Windows XP (SP2) computer system and a Notebook Vista 32-Bit computer system. Yes! I only have one player connected. Same result (See image below).
I left it sit for one hour and did not move, same result (See image below).
I tried this in safemode (All OS systems), same result (See image below).

Re: New Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03" firmware does not work$ I updated my Zen 32GB using Vista x64 so it can work under some situations. Can't say my upgrade went problem-free but it did work in the end.
You might try some of the following (no promises they will help, but can't really hurt):
Re-download the firmware updater. Maybe you got a bad download.
Make sure your Zen is directly connected to a system USB port (i.e. not to a port on a monitor, keyboard, ext USB hub, etc.)
Try running the firmware update as Administrator if you aren't already
Try uninstalling the Creative drivers before the update.
In my case I got stuck on a message that another application was using my Zen. Turned out the simple act of hooking up the player resulted in Vista running a headless "wmplayer.exe *32" process. I had to manually kill it from TaskManager in order to proceed. Even then the first update attempt ended with the Zen reporting a firmware problem and rebooting into the Recovery Menu. I had to use Reload Firmware to erase what it had and then try again. Second time was the charm.
After all that I can't for the life of me see any changes/improvements in the new firmware. The forum is full of gripes and wishlists yet none of them complain about the radio functionality. I've used it almost every day for year without issue (aside from the rare Zen hang/crash when messing with the headphone jack and/or sliding the power switch). Thank goodness after waiting 0- months since the last update they got around to fixing something nobody noticed was broken. /2?:smileyvery-happy:

I went ahead and updated it anyway. One little thing I noticed was now the volume only goes up to 25 like my Zen Touch instead of 40 or whatever that it did before. Same loudness, different numbers only. Other than that, I have not noticed anything different, but it seemed to work OK scrolling through a song with the old firmware. I did not, obviously, do a detailed comparison.

Zen Micro PlaysForSure firmware upgrade fatal error - RESOL

First, sorry about poor english!
When i tried to upgrade my Zen Micro to the latest firmware i got the following message: "Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware Upgrade: This application only supports Windows XP platform with at least Service Pack installed." The executable name was: ZenMicroP4S_PCFW_L6_2_2_02.exe and yes i have Windows XP SP2 installed on my computer. (and on the other three computers, where i got the exact error message.)Message Edited by kaszast on 0-26-2006 08:37 AM

Dear Creative!
You screwed the upgrade program a bit, because it is works ONLY IN ENGLISH version on Windows XP. Shame! You are pushing me into the sea of warez...

Zen Sleek photo firmware upgrade

I found out that the Creative Zen Sleek had a firmware upgrade (PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03). The Creative Zen Sleek Photo hadn't... Can 2.0.03 be used on the Zen Sleek Photo and what is the effect of it's

The Zen Sleek Photo was a later model and may have included the fixes that the update for the Zen Sleek had. It could be the Zen Sleek's firmware upgrade was just to catch up.
I wouldn't use firmware for another player.

Zen Mozaic EZ300 8GB Speaker not working

I have the Zen Mozaic EZ300 8GB, got it for Christmas, charged it overnight last night through my PC after upgrading the firmware to the latest version.
Went to mess with it this morning and all seems well except... I have no sound at all from the speaker. I set the speaker to on, through the menu while playing a song... no sound. I crank the volume all the way up, still nothing. I unplug the headphones, the speaker icon comes on, play an MP3 or a video... no sound.
So, do I have a bad speaker or is there another setting somewhere I can enabe the speaker ? :/

Re: ZEN MOZAIC FROZEN!! KEY PAD NOT WORKING? Hi!!
Thanks so much for answering!
Well, the player has never worked properly. This problem is since the first time I tried to use the player two days ago!!
Once the player is on, the keypad does just not respond, any of the keys. When I reset it, the player starts up again (the creative logo, the zen logo) and then the main menu displays, once there (where I am supposed to navigate through the menus and submenus) i just cannot do anything because of the keypad not responding.
I already tried this sequence: reset + pressing play/pause at the same time while I turn it on, and nothing happens, I mean, it is everything all over again, no response from the keypad, so i can't even select the option i want from the recovery mode display.
I have already connected the player through the usb cable to my PC and I can perfectly see the content of the player, all the music i previously saved, and even play it in my PC but doing nothing at all with the device!!
does that mean that my new player is just faulty!?!? what a disappointment, I thought what a great present was!
I would appreciate any new ideas! regards!

N73 Firmware upgrade--- bad working Voice dialing

I updated the firmware of my Nokia N73 from 268.0.0.3 to 368.0.0.1. With the older version delivered by the phone voice dialing worked. In the 268.0.0.3 I only could given voice command for the profiles not for the contacts. It didn't recognise any contact. Because of thos I decided to do the next firmware upgrade to 368.0.0.1 and now the voice dialing doesn't work at all. Each time I put the button to activate it tells me "fualty voicesystem"in dutch "fout spraaksysteem. Now it became even worser. Is there anyone who helps me out?

Thank you for your reaction. I put the firmware for the second time to my phone. Now it seems working again. When I touch the button for voice dialing it works untill then. But I may ask for every contact in my contactlist but nothing happens. When I touch the button again it is not reacting then but only the second time. When i asked for an other profile it sometimes works. In my contactlist it is possible to hear the contactname. But via voice dialing none of the contacts to choose.
best regards
Voice Dialling seems to be a bit choppy on most of the N-series models, because they use speech synthesis. Whereas this works for profile names, it's a different tackle for contact names. This is because contact names are assigned by assigned by you, the user. If you select Play Voice Tag for any given contact in your phone, it will output this name using speech synthesis. You will have to EXACTLY copy this output. And, if the name of a certain user is "John Doe Geralds", it wouldn't suffice to simply say "John Doe". You'd HAVE to put Geralds behind that, and in the EXACT same way as the device says it.
The only way to change a voice label for any given name is to change the name itself. The same goes for profile names and commands, but I wouldn't change these as the defaults work fine.
A reason because of which voice dialling may not work can also be found in the user's voice details having become useless for the phone. To correct this, go to Tools> Voice commands > Options > Settings and choose: Reset Voice Adaptations. Note that carrying this out means that ALL data collected about your voice shall be lost; you might have a bit of difficulty using voice features the first couple of times after performing this instruction. Beware to EXACTLY copy whatever the phone says, even though you know real-world pronunciation to be different. Until now, I haven't had to actually adjust the pitch of my voice to the synthesizer's pitch, but I know this would improve recognition accuracy.
Oh yeah... Sorry for my late reaction!
Best regards,

New Firmware Upgrade Not Needed

I tried to download and install the firmware upgrade posted today (v1.4), which is supposed to take my BootROM to MBP31.0070.B03 (it is currently identified as MBP31.0070.B02 in System Profiler). However, when I run the updater, it tells me I don't need the update.
Any thoughts?

The santa rosa chipsets (2.2s and 2.4s) may not need the firmware ?upgrade. If my 2.4 had needed the upgrade, it would have shown up in Software Update, and it did not.
I don't mind this at all. Firmware upgrades could be problematic and I love to avoid them where possible. All of the iLife and iWork upgrades came up on software update for me and installed and are working fine.

IMac w/firmware upgrade not connecting thru chooser

Grade school iMacs (crt style) connect to library search software by selecting an alias on the local iMac that is for the program on the shared volume on the library Mac. This share is Read Only to everyone.
Any iMac running OS 9.x that does not have the firmware upgrade for OS X is connecting fine as they always have. Click the alias, brings up the chooser to do the STUDENT logon to the library share and begins the execution of the software on the local mac.
Some used iMacs that were added to the library have had their firmware upgraded for OS X. When these select the same alias - they get an error saying they do not have execution rights to the alias. But, if you manually go to the Chooser and log on to the libary share - then execute the actual program file - it works just fine.
So it appears that the firmware update has glitched the machine's ability to log on to the library share and execute the search program via the alias.
iMac iLamps (flat screen with round base)seem to work fine. Switch to OS9 via Classic, go through the Chooser and run the library search software. So seems our problem child(ren) is/are the CRT iMacs with the firmware upgrade.
Ideas? Anyone else run into this?
Thanks,

You didn't indicate how long the iMac was running without problems, before you decided to upgrade the memory. It's possible that the display's degraded picture quality is not directly related to the memory installation, since that procedure is relatively non-invasive on a slot-loading iMac. The board could have had a problem that would manifest itself after a sufficient period of ON time, that went unnoticed, prior to its sale on eBay. Sellers often buy pallets of computers in unknown working condition, that are stacked on top of each other and wrapped with plastic. Because the cases often have cosmetic damage, they're parted out. If the computer powers up and everything appears to be working fine, it's shut down and disassembled. If the unit were left ON long enough, perhaps any problems that it had (prior to being pulled from service) would eventually surface. I'd suggest trying the other board that you bought.

Zen Nano Plus firmware upgrade to 1.14

I just tried to update the firmware to .4.03 and in the process said it would restart the mp3 player. Upon doing so the unit now is dead and will not turn on at all. I tried the recovery for flash players and nothing will make it turn on. Has anyone else seen this happento their unit after trying to upgrade the firmware Any help of what to try next would be appreciated but I did try to hit the play button many times while plugging into the computer with no luck. That did not work. The unit will not turn on now at all after trying to do the firmware upgrade. Thanks. SR

I just fixed my Nano Plus using this website from CL.
Goto the Knowledge Base and key in this Solution ID: 265 Worked great. Thanks, SR

16 GB ram upgrade not working

I have an iMac 3.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (late 2009 model) I purchased 4 x 4GB 1333 ram chips to upgrade to 16GB. All four chips simultaneously do not work. The screen stays black and it beeps endlessly with a pause every 6 seconds. However, if I put any two of the four chips in (= 8GB) the computer boots fine. If I use any two of the four plus the two 2GB original chips (=12GB) computer boots fine. I have tried every combination with the help of the “support line” of the company I bought them from.
The original chip speed was 1067 and the new are 1333. I was told the computer could run both and it does, up to 8GB not including the original ram. When I use the orginal ram to bring it up to 12GB it drops the speed to 1067 from the 1333.
Would appreciate your help!!!
Thanks, Tim

There have been many discussions on this subject; you might want to read these (lengthy!!):
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2567907
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2588800
The short version is: If going with OEM RAM, 16 GB appears fine. When going with third party RAM and 16 GB - problems; however, third party RAM and a total of 12 GB work. That's what I got on mine.
However, you added another wrinkle to the whole thing: I would always stay with the exact specs that Apple publishes for a particular model; I wouldn't care what I'm told by someone else. And, yes, it'll drop the speed - that's because it wasn't made to address the extra speed.
May I ask what brand and where you bought yours? Hopefully it was somewhere with a good warranty/return policy. I would contac them and explain the issues and send back all of it for a refund; then purchase 2 x 4 GB with the right specs from someone like OWC (macsales.com).
