Download Rufus 2.15
Brigitta Martini
I haven't subscribed my Cyberoam device since 3 months. So it's acting just like a plain router without any web/application filtering. My question is that can I install Sophos XG Firewall Home Edition on to my Cyberoam CR50iNG device? As Sophos XG Firewall Home Edition don't need any license/subscription to use so that I can leverage web/application filtering.
Apparently, the Migration from Cyberoam to XG is by using an Enterprise SFOS instead of Sophos Home XG version . You may load the OS on VMware or a Desktop with 2 ethernet cards . The appliance Key is separate for Enterprise consoles and Free Home edition.
If we have the old Cyberoam CR25iNG or greater, this is the way to use it to protect our home networks and record on it free home-use XG Firewall Home Edition software. CR25iNG has sufficient parameters for this purpose (Intel 4-core CPU, 2GB RAM, 4GB Flash, 320GB HDD, 4xGbitEth).
Below the installation procedure for the needy:
1) Download the current version of XG Firewall Home Edition (SW-SFOS_16.05.6_MR-6-266) in .iso format, burn it to a USB pendrive using the "rufus-2.15" tool to create a loadable image with the DD option,
2) Connecting the console and USB pendrive to CR25iNG. After powering up the device the firmware from USB will start up, detect resources without problems, format the flash drive and HDD and install it on flash. It takes about 15 minutes.
3) After reboot is ready to configure (the console is running, there is access to :4444). You must pay attention to the order of GEth interfaces - they are in reverse order than described (mirror image).
4) When we log into the device, we enter the serial number that we received by e-mail when downloading the software. After a positive activation, we register the device on the MySophos panel. CR25iNG synchronizes with MySophos and gets the patterns. All services except Sandstorm are activated.
5) Then it's the usual configuration of SFOS v16. Everything works for this version.
The problem at home is the noise generated by the fan in the device. If it is acceptable then ok, if not then we can remove the upper part of the housing and turn off the fan. At ambient temperatures up to 28 C operates.
The question is:
- Will SFOS v17 also work on CR25iNG?
- Is there a way to extend RAM in CR25iNG for increased performance?
Para el que no lo conozca, Rufus es un programa esencial cuando no disponemos de un lector de CD/DVD y queremos instalar un sistema operativo en un dispositivo de almacenamiento porttil.
Como ya suele ser habitual, no conocemos las novedades de Rufus 2.15 de forma oficial porque el desarrollador no las anuncia. A pesar de esto, es recomendable actualizar a esta ltima versin ya que suele solucionar fallos.
Hace poco os hablamos de un programa similar llamado Etcher, pero no nos ofrece ni la mitad opciones que tenemos disponibles en Rufus. Para mi Rufus es el programa recomendado y que pocas veces falla.
Rufus me ha resultado un prrograma muy til. Pude instalar Windows 10 usando una memoria USB de arranque. Existen web especializadas donde he podido aprender cmo usar esta herramienta. Les comparto rufususb.net aqu hay tutoriales para crear usb booteable con windows, linux o mac.
Rufus ya va por la versin 3.13 y todo apunta a que no ser la ltima versin. Es un programa con un desarrollo bastante activo y debo reconocer que es mi favorito. Donde otros programas fallaron, Rufus siempre me ha dado opciones para solucionar los porblemas.
Otra cosa que me gusta de Rufus es que ofrece una versin portable con la que no tienes que andar instalando nada. Simplemente lo descargas, ejecutas el programa y listo, sin complicaciones. Hace poco he probado a grabar varias distros Linux en un pen USB y no he tenido problemas con este programita. ?️
This is a problem I'm having already for a year or so. Up to version 2.13.0 I was having no problem updating my BIOS, I did it either using Windows Update, either with the Dell Commmand Update tool. I am using Windows 10.
but my EFI drive does not have such files (X:\Dell\Bios\Recovery\BIOS_pre.rcv). In fact it only contians an EPI folder with a Dell folder inside. But the Dell folder does not contain a Recovery folder at all.
- Tried Control+Esc (after enabling/disabling BIOS Recovery options) with computer Off and plugging the AC adapter then. Keyboard lights on, but then I receive 3 orange + 3 white blinking in the charging light and computer switches off again.
I am out of warranty and I have already devoted quite an ammount of time trying all these things. I think it is quite an important issue for Dell to let their users update the BIOS, specially when the laptop has its issues (slow start-up, sometimes not recovering from hibernation, eventual hang-ups when connected to an external GPU).
I was finally able to recover my BIOS, using a USB-C pendrive with a FAT32 8GB partition, copying the last BIOS file I found on DELL drivers page, renamed to BIOS_IMG.rcv. Then, with the pendrive connected, shut down, press control + Esc and connect the AC power plug (don't press the power button). I had tried many times recovery before but I guess not with all these conditions at the same time... Anyway, it worked, thanks to @V-F-K , that posted this solution and made me try again:
When you download and run the Bios update, it runs for a while and sets up the change. Then it reboots the system and goes through updating several sections of the Bios. If it were to fail, it should leave a log you could access.
For some reason, I think I do remember having to let Win 10 update to the 2.15 version.. But I was already on the 2.14 version prior to that update. And I am referring to the optional driver updates from the Win 10 Settings Updates page.
When I do it with the donwloaded file (XPS_13_9365_2_15_0.exe) it sets up the change, as you say, then it reboots, but then it boots up normally, I cannot see any difference with a normal bootup (I think I remember seeing some message during the updating process...). If I look at the logs in the BIOS, nothing shows up. No message at all in the BIOS log.
OK, if you open the Windows 10 Settings-Windows Update and look at that page, is there an indication of a driver update available? If you don't see one available, you might manually do a check for updates to see if it shows up.
You seem to have tried other methods so not much I could suggest there. The log I was referring to was one created by the installer, since it usually does that and puts it in a Dell folder on your system, possibly at the location below.
I also checked for my system and noticed you can download the Bios Recovery Image file, which is the update in an .rcv format. I think you tried using the process but stated the .rcv file was not on the USB drive. This is the file needed for the System Bios Recovery process you may have been trying. When you see a directory such as X: you are normally looking at a RAMDrive in memory. So the location of that file would be where you downloaded it.
In Windows Update I always have the availabe "driver" update of "Dell Inc. - Firmware - 0.2.15.0" under "Optional Updates">"Driver update". It always fails.It reboots and I think I have seen a glimpse of a message saying "preparing to update... blah blah", but immediately reboots again and nothing is executed.
No "Dell" folder is created in my hard drive, so I have no logs to look at. I can see however under "Device Manager">"Firmware" an entry saying "System Firmware 2.15.0" with an exclamation mark. And, of course, the firmware hasn't been updated (I checked it with the BIOS or with the update program and the current version continues to be 2.13.0).
The .rcv files are on my system in the directory indicated. If you want to add a drive letter to check, just run the command and keep the admin command prompt window open. Use cd and dir commands to go into the folders. In the Attachment, I used the drive letter Y:
It is interesting you show a yellow Bang (triangle) in the Device Manager. If it was me, and I am not suggesting you do this, I would try uninstalling the faulty 2.15 version. Since all indications seem to show your system is still running 2.13, it should not matter.
I was using "mountvol X: /s" already to mount it using the command line with administrator privileges, and in my case the .RCV files are not there. The cause is probably that I formatted the hard drive at least twice: I had dual boot before, with Windows and Linux, some time ago I restored it to the original configuration with a Windows 10 with the hard drive in RAID mode (not AHCI). I was able to update the BIOS after recovering the Windows only configuration.
no success As it did before, when, with the computer switched off, I press Control+Esc (which is the sequence to enable Boot Recovery) and connect the AC POWER the computer keyboard is illuminated and the light in front of the laptop blinks 3 times orange and 3 times white, repeating this sequence 4 or 5 times until the laptop turns off again.
The Dell FAQ indicates the folders have to be there, unless you had reinstalled or re-imaged your system is a way that did not bring them forward.. If, for some reason your do not have an EFI partition they also would be missing and the /s part of the mountvol command would not work.
This describes a problem that can't be reproduced that seemingly went away on its own or was only relevant to a very specific period of time. It's off-topic as it's unlikely to help future readers.
I am trying to install a 14.04.5 64 bits Ubuntu in a machine with several partitions, one of which is already running a 12.04 64 bits Ubuntu, into one that is empty and formatted as ext4. I have created a bootable Ubuntu USB following the instructions of -create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#3, but when I try to install I get an error message that says:
I have also tried to use Universal USB installer but the result is that the screen remains blank for eternity just with the prompt, which does not admit any command. I have changed the name of the isolinux files and folder to syslinux, as I have seen in other threads with similar isues, but to no avail.
