  • HP LaserJet 4250: Brick HP LaserJet 4250 after firmware update failed. Compact Flash card recovery options?

    While performing an update of firmware via FTP using cURL, the HP LaserJet 4250 I worked has frozen. I had no choice but to cycle the power and hope for the best, but unfortunately it was bricked. The screen no longer lights upward when turned on (although I can hear the internal working mechanisms which is a good sign).

    While doing some research, I read it is possible to buy a 32 MB CompactFlash card with preloaded firmware (http://bit.ly/1BTZGCh), put the jumper pin on the logic board to boot from it and then re-flashing the firmware on the card. Looks like a foolproof solution, but I would like to save my company some money if possible.

    I was wondering if it is possible to use a Type I, 128 MB Compact Flash card I have handy and load the firmware above myself using a USB Compact Flash card reader/writer. Judging by what I read on another post on the forum (http://bit.ly/1GR6nM7), it seems possible to use a Unix/Linux utility such as JJ to clone another job Compact Flash card with preloaded firmware. However, I don't have such a card to clone. What I have is another HP LaserJet 4250 in working condition.

    So that raises the question, is it possible to insert my own blank Compact Flash card in a HP LaserJet 4250 work and copy the firmware the logic board to the map image by using the printer control panel? I guess it would be the only way, if necessary, to get the firmware on the card.

    However, if she is not the only way, is there an easier way to get the firmware on the card? For example, can I just format the card in FAT32 and copy the file to the RFU firmware to it and start the printer from him? Or the use of HP does it's own file system that is not readable on a PC? Also, would it be possible to use dd and simply copy the RFU directly on the card device believed himself (no file system) and boot from that?

    Sorry for the barrage of questions. I tried to find the answers to all these myself, but HP doesn't seem to provide a lot of detailed documentation on works of the firmware via Compact Flash process. I'd be very happy if someone with experience could provide the answers well! Thank you.

    Looks like I'll be solving my own number here haha. So after bit peicing together information from different positions and some experiences, I managed to save my LaserJet bricks!

    To fix a HP LaserJet 4250 bricks, two things are necessary: an of Type I CompactFlash card and other HP LaserJet 4250 work. It's a common printer, chances are you'll find another around the office.

    Here are the steps to fix the printer:

    1. The card CompactFlash Slot 1 (bottom slot) on board the logical work printer. Instructions on how to do so are provided by HP here: http://bit.ly/1NNyIol
    2. (May be optional) Initialize (format) the CompactFlash card by following the instructions on page 327 of the repair of HP LaserJet 4250 (http://bit.ly/1D22T7R)

      (a) turn off the power to the printer.
      (b) turn on the power to the printer and then press and hold the MENU button when begins the memory count.
      (c) continue to hold the button down until all the lights on control panel three printer flashes once and then remain lit. It may take up to 10 seconds.
      (d) press the BACK ARROW button. The display should INITIALIZE the DISK.
      (e) press Select (mark). The printer initializes the hard drive and continues its power on sequence.

    3. Now that the CompactFlash card is formatted, it is time to copy the NAND of the printer to work on the CompactFlash card.

      (a) turn off the power to the printer.
      (b) turn on the power to the printer and then press and hold CANCEL when begins the memory count.


    (c) continue to hold the button down until all the lights on control panel three printer flashes once and then remain lit. It may take up to 10 seconds.
    (d) press the SELECT button (check mark).
    (e) press the MENU button.
    (f) use the arrow to scroll until you see COPY BOOTLOADER IN SLOT2.
    (g) press SELECT, and the cursor should get the word BOOTLOADER. Use the arrows to change this to NAND.
    (e) press SELECT, and the cursor should get the word SLOT2. Use the arrows to change this to SLOT1.
    (f) press SELECT. The copy process must begin, and the status will appear on the screen.
    (g) once the process is complete, turn the printer off and remove the CompactFlash card.
  • Now that we have a working NAND on the CompactFlash card, it's time to restore to our printer masoned. Perform the following steps on the printer of bricks.

    (a) turn off the power to the printer.
    (b) Insert the CompactFlash card into Slot 1.
    (c) set the jumper on the System Board on the arrow to start from the CompactFlash card.
    (d) turn on the power to the printer and then press and hold CANCEL when begins the memory count.
    (e) continue now the button until all the lights on control panel three printer flashes once and then remain lit. It may take up to 10 seconds.
    (f) press SELECT (checkmark).
    (g) press the MENU button.
    (h) use the arrow to scroll until you see COPY BOOTLOADER IN SLOT2.
    (i) press SELECT, and the cursor should get the word BOOTLOADER. Use the arrows to change this to SLOT1.
    (j) press SELECT, and the cursor should get the word SLOT2. Use the arrows to change this to NAND.
    (k) press SELECT. The copy process must begin, and the status will appear on the screen.
    (l) once the process is complete, turn off the printer, remove the CompactFlash card and reposition the jumper to the default position.
    (m) turn on the power to the printer. That's all! Everything should work normally again. No brick no more!

  • UPDATE (07/04/15): IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER HP LASERJET 4250

    It turns out that you can just download the firmware on HP website and create an image of it bootable on a CompactFlash card. However, it is not as simple as just copying the firmware image. You should ignore the 633 first bytes of the file of the firmware (at least with the 08.260.1 version), then copy the rest on a CompactFlash card. You can accomplish this by running the following command on Mac OS X or Linux. Download and boot from a live CD of Linux like Ubuntu if necessary.

    DD if = lj4240_4250_4350fw_08.260.1.rfu ibs = 1 skip = 633 of = / dev/disk2

    Replace "lj4240_4250_4350fw_08.260.1.rfu" with the name of the appropriate firmware file and ' / dev/disk2 ' with the appropriate device if necessary.

    If you prefer, a bootable copy of the revision of the 08.260.1 firmware can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/1FeF3YP

    As you can see in the image below, when opened with a hex editor, image downloaded from HP firmware starts with 1 b 25 31 2d bytes... However, the printer does not include the first part of the file when you start, because there are instructions of PJL and not binary. Bootable image begins at 631 byte (277 hex) highlighted. It may be possible that this address may change in future versions of firmware or for different printers, so here's how to know where to start the startup code. The first occurrence of 00 00 04 24 bytes, is where that starts. In ASCII, it looks to "... $". In this sequence, the 00 first is the beginning of the startup code. Here's another picture, of what should look like a bootable firmware image.

    Non-bootable firmware image, downloaded directly from HP

    Bootable firmware image, extracted of HP download

    For fun, I unpacked it some of the files included in the firmware image, and it turns out that tracks on the printer to LynxOS. Who would have thought?

    Hello

    seems really strange, especially after the installation of a pc wireless card software. I can give you a suggestion:

    EVERYTHING YOU DATA BACK UP AND REINSTALL YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM.

    I think that it is the only way, because when you describe you already tried almost every thing, then a recovery is inevitable. Copy/backup your data and put the new OS on the HARD drive.

    After that, make separate accounts (for example 3 accounts) and install the card netgear with the admin account. It should work.
    Would appreciate some comments.

  • format micro sd card acer liquid e2 problems

    Hello I have an acer liquid e2 smartphone running on android jelly bean 4.2.1

    recently, I bought a micro sd with a capacity of 32Gbs of kingston card

    at first glance, everything worked fine, but yesterday, I wanted to transfer files via 4Gbs.

    I noticed that it is not possible for FAT based micro sd for this cards but if format you the card micro sd for exFAT, or NTFS you could work around this transferlimit.

    so today, I bought a drive from sd cards to solve the problem.

    I put my micro sd card in a sd card and then the sd card in the sd card reader/writer.

    I connect to my computer and I reformatted my card micro sd, exFAT AND NTFS, but none of them has been recognized by my phone.

    so I searched more on this subject, and it seems that android supports NTFS...

    so I wonder is my e2 liquid acer problem here? and what do I do?

    I hope that I did not purchase this reader/writer for sd cards

    Thanks for the help

    Sorry for the late response

    my phone is rooted so I lack it but there were a few problems update even if it was properly the

    so I changed my phone to its factory settings and updated to 4.2.2

    It was not always able to recognize NTFS in itself, so I searched again and found an app that should be able to do

    the app is called "paragon NTFS and HFS +" it wanted to download it but I need to root my phone to use this application

    so I rooted my phone after update to 4.2.2 and downloaded this app

    now, I'm finally able to use my micro sd NTFS-formatted card

    I don't know if the app alone would be enough to do, but it was clear that I needed the app or at least root

    4.2.2 update alone is not enough

  • Xperia Z3C issue after the transfer of applications on SD card

    Hey guys, hoping you can give me a little help here.

    I've updated my Xperia Z3C to Lollipop the other day, which was until now very well, but last night I moved a few apps to my SD card to free up some of the internal memory of my phone (do not use any application of third party to make).

    It seems that something has gone wrong, as my phone restarted itself, while one of the applications was yielding and now EACH of them will be displayed as an icon of plan with a little red in the corner SD card, and when you click on it it says "Application not found". I guess that means that the data of the app to the SD card is damaged. As I have photos and music on my SD card that still work, I really don't want to format it, but don't know what to remove to make these icons disappear from my app menu!

    I'm not bothered all re - install apps, this isn't a problem for me at all, but the main question opens the application menu and the first page and a half being nothing else than these icons 'app not found! " I have attached a picture. As they do not appear in the list of applications in environments more that I can't get rid of them!

    Thanks for your time guys, hoping someone can advise!

    EDIT: Just tried to remove the SD card and reboot my phone, but these icons of the action plan are still show which is very disturbing!

    Alternatively, you can try to reset the home screen settings-> Apps-> all-> House Xperia-> clear data-> OK but please note that this will reset your homescreen by default parameters (widgets, shortcuts).

    Hello
     
    1. What is the number of brand and model of the flash player?
     
    Some brands of car pen have formatting tools. You can visit their website and use as appropriate.
     
    2. you are formatting in NTFS or FAT32?
     
    If it is NTFS, you must restart your computer after format.
     
    Follow the steps mentioned below and check if it works to solve the problem.
     
    Note: Please back up your data before formatting your USB
     
    Step 1:
     
    First of all, try formatting in safe mode
     
    Step 2:
     
    a. open a DOS command prompt (start > run > type "cmd") and type:
    attrib - r h - s. x:\*.*/s
     
    This will change the attributes of all files on the USB key. Read-only, hidden and system attributes will be deleted.
     
    b. replace X: with the drive letter of your USB. Now, you will be able to see them in Solution Explorer and remove them, without anything shaped.
     
    Step 3:
     
    Format it with DOS commands
     
    a. open the DOS command prompt (start > run > type "cmd" in the box)
    b. type:
    X: FORMAT FAT32/q / V: PenDrive
    This will reformat the Flash DRIVE using the FAT32 file system and label the USB key drive. Replace x with the actual drive letter of your USB drive. For more help on this command, type:
    FORMAT /?
    at the command prompt.
     
    Step 4:
     
    There could be a virus that can stop your pen drive formatting. I wish that you run a virus champagne using your security once software before trying new format.

  • Formatting the sd card to ntfs format

    Hello community,

    My memory card SD camera is in FAT32 format. Is it good if I format my SD card in NTFS format? I want to know which is the best format for memory cards. Help, please.
    Thank you...

    It depends on if your camera could support NTFS, so you should ask your camera manufacturer, whoever it is.  My thought is "if it's not broken, don't fix it".  There is not much to gain by changing the format, so I would say that potential problems outweigh the economies of small space formatting.

    Good luck.
