I am trying to upgrade the FW on my R610 AP to ZD1200 and every time I try and upgrade I get a "bad firmware header magic" error. This happens if I try to do it through TFTP and locally on the WebUI, and I even tried to do it through the CLI and getting the same error along with a Bad File message.

The AP should get the ZD IP via DHCP option 43 or DNS entry if you want it to automatically get it (these two needs to be configured on DHCP server). Currently I doubt you have configured any as AP has no information of controller IP hence you can alternatively do a manual command to point AP to the ZD's IP by below :

The image you are using is an ZD image and will not work on AP. You would need to upgrade AP to stand alone code and then it would talk to ZD and upgrade to ZD image. Please be noted since 10.5. AP and ZD image upgrade is done via port 443 so make sure it is not blocked.

With my 5D3 I had both firmware versions on the memory card and then I could switch back and forth between versions whenever I wanted. Magic Lantern now works with the latest 5D3 firmware so there is no need for that now.

If your 7D came new fron Canon with 2.0.5 installed there is a slight chance it won't backdate. I heard of one factrory new 5D3 owner who had some problems but it was never confirmed why he had problems.

I then loaded the most recent firmware for Magic Lantern (magiclantern-Nightly.2014Jun30.7D203) onto my 7D with no problems whatsoever. Very simple, loaded it in the same manner as upgrading/backdating firmware.

Please; is there any where I could find a clear way to perform the task of installing Openwrt on my adapter for a newbie like me who isn't used to CLI? I know I need putty to access the machine via ssh plus a TFTP server. My problem starts from step 4 to step 6; unfortunately.

Also, while I don't have this device, the notes at the end appear to state that the PLC functions are not working in openwrt, if you need these do not proceed. You may want to contact the submitter to see if they have a work around (like installing the non-free components from the original firmware). To do that you will need to get familiar with the command line.

lf this is the first time you've installed openwrt on a device - perhaps try with a device that is better supported first, such as a router and get yourself familiar with ssh and commandline uci - before tackling a more complex device like a PLC access point.

Some PLCs present as an ethernet interface to the SOC running openwrt, but this is not always the case, if the committer states it won't work I'd be inclined to think this is one of the 'other' cases.

The OEM firmware is also based on OpenWRT. Sources and extractable firmware images are provided by Devolo. Possibly it would be easier to enable the PLC after first getting a shell prompt with that firmware? Maybe ssh or telnet could be enabled for the OEM firmware.

The startup section of the dropbear init script contains a line to just 'return' when some condition is true, which depends on a few more conditions. Those you can derive from the other scripts. Note that some of those conditions also have other side effects.

The command ghn_console provides insight in the G.hn powerline network. The ver command outputs a version number that seems to fit in the numbering scheme used by the Magic 2 LAN firmware (the device without WiFi that doesn't seem to use OpenWRT). Possibly the G.hn device runs fully independently and this is the entry point into it.

I do not see a distinct ethernet device for the G.hn interface. The one listed is using the MAC address of the LAN interface and is according to brctl only bridge with the wireless interfaces. I suspect that there is another independent switch and the G.hn interface and UTP wired ethernet interface are hooked up together to that. This independent separate environment might resemble a Magic 2 LAN, but running a lighter version of its firmware.

So it seems these devices have two environments running in tandem. To use the regular OpenWRT without losing G.hn, it needs to be figured out what is necessary to initialize the extra G.hn part. I am afraid it would be difficult to replace the proprietary G.hn firmware, it could only be used as-is.

I hope you can help me with my devolo wifi adapter, my device is stuck in a bootloop i was wondering if there is a way to connect it to my pc and somehow unbrick it by flashing oem software to it if possible, i total noob in netwroking but this is this only thread i could find where people are in depth into these devices, hopefully u havent abanded this site and can give me some guidance, Cheers.

3- Firslt i tried to look up what the flashing pattern means, didn't find it in the manual, the device has a red light on the PLC button which stays on for about 10 seconds then turns off and is back on after 2-3 seconds and this cycle continues, What made me think this is a bootloop is that its suppoused to have a solid red for at least 60 seconds after which its strarts the pairing process, i tried resseting through the pin point button near the LAN ports but they appear to do nothing ( The manual says the device should be on for at least q minute before using the reset button for any reason so i think thats why its not working), i tried connecting to my pc but it nothing showed up, tried pressisg and holding diffrenet buttons, nothing worked.

I read online that some people who after reseting the device get a red light instead of flashing white, but not sure if its the same issue as they didnt have any videos or other detials and no solution was given.

If dfu-util fails to switch your BMP into bootloader mode, or you feel like you might have bricked your BMP, you can also plug in your BMP while holding down the button. This will force the BMP to stay in the bootloader on power up.

This software upgrades the firmware of the ST-Link probe, not the firmware of a target connected to the probe. Therefore please ensure you want to upgrade the firmware of the ST-Link probe, and use a blackmagic.bin file built specifically for ST-Link.

The linked repository is forked from UweBonnes/stlink-tool, which in turn is a fork from jeanthom/stlink-tool. The link points to a specific branch named feature/compilation-fixes. Please ensure to checkout to to this branch after cloning the repository, as both UweBonnes and dragonmux have made fixes that are not included in the repository by jeanthom.

My problem was that the Apple article apparently did not apply to MacOS Monterey, as far as checking the firmware version. You have shown how to check that (and many other things) with this System Information utility. Thank you!

Hello RSM, I am having issues with my Magic 260. I did the exact same thing as with the firmware getting lost. Can you please provide me with a firmware file so I can fix this issue? I will highly appreciate it if you can! Thanks

Hola, soy de mexico tengo problemas con mi magic 260 lo quise actualizar y quedo insebible tendran el firmware 1.05 o 1.04 para regresarlo a al version que teniaque me lo puedan proporcionar, gracias mi correo es cone...@hotmail.com

Samsung Magician is designed to help users easily manage their Samsung memory products, including internal SSDs, portable SSDs, memory cards, and USB flash drives, conveniently update firmware and optimize their drive for performance and reliability.

Firmware is a tiny software program embedded in semiconductor chips, like NAND chips. It contains the essential software code and commands that enable a device to function. Manufacturers regularly release firmware updates to enhance the hardware's performance and quality. For Samsung SSDs, firmware updates can be applied using the Samsung Magician software. After updating, a system reboot is necessary for the changes to take effect on the drive. The Magician software is available for download from Samsung's website at
