WRT160Nv2 update failed, brick router?

Today, I found that there was a new firmware on my WRT160N v2. I downloaded the 2.0.0.2 firmware version 15, traveled to the Web interface, has chosen the update of the Firmware, selected the bin file and started the upgrade. However, before reaching 100%, my browser redirected to a Firefox error page saying the address is unreachable. Suddenly, the internet was inaccessible and that the modem was inaccessible. I left it there for a few minutes to make sure it wasn't doing it is upgraded, but nothing happened...

The router now does not meet what anyone, no ping, no dhcp, no Web interface. I tried the upgrade again by using TFTP but not luck: I download the firmware (the TFTP tool says it is successful), see the router resets automatically (the lights went out for a second), but then the same problem came back. Power led flashes quickly, the port connected LAN LED blinks from time to time, but nothing else happens... Not even after several minutes of waiting.

I tried hard reset, but lucky is...

I'm open to suggestions... Can I get unbricked, or it is lost forever?

I found a solution to my problem. Apparently, the router itself wasn't really the problem, it is the firmware. I dug up an old version of firmware (v2.0.01 build 014, October 3, 2008) and TFTP'ed it to the router, and it worked! It is up and running again...

I will stay at this version for now (if it does not problems). Enough upgrade for me for awhile

  • XP Pro sp3 updates fail

    Updates are set to notify and in recent weeks when the icon is clicked on a page with a list (of long) is presented and when you click it to download a few seconds the router activity ago then the action stop and the icon disappears.  Updates fail.  A time later same updates are presented again.  Anyone know how to remedy this.

    Some updates are: KB2888505, KB2858302, KB2596615, KB2596672, KB2596785, KB2687311, KB2687499, KB2760416, KB2596843, KB2510531 and KB2596848.  Some of them appear old enough so I don't know what gives.  Until this problem started, the machine was up-to-date and updates were install normally.

    If a manual update is requested check page shows no activity or is running continuously.

    Thank you, John.

    Your instructions helped me to start good SONGS.  Properties of BITS came as shown with the current runtime.  Was able to update of 16 of the 17 updates.  .NET framework 4 failed (KB2858302v2).  .NET repair tool does not accomplish a repair so I downloaded a new copy of .NET and installed in repair mode.  The last update then installed successfully.

    Now, everything's fine.  Thanks a lot for your help.  John.

  • Windows Update fail to install

    original title: significant problems with Vista and Windows Update

    I'm trying to reinstall Vista. I keep running into a problem where some Windows updates fail, even when you check the history they are reported as installed. In some cases, a patch will be reported as installed once and failed three times. Often, failures are dated later than the initial success.

    If that fails, the machine does not start and I am presented with a screen asking you to go into the various forms of safe mode. What I do is starting on the installation DVD and running Startup Repair. It seems according to the most recent restore point and setting the startup process. Then, it seems that some of the fixes that have been initially successful are now chess.
    The laptop in question is a Dell Inspiron 1420 running on Vista. I did a clean install on the startup disk.
    What the hell is happening? I just want to make with this stupid installation, but I can't return the phone to its owner until each update is applied. Any help is appreciated.

    I'm not stupid either, Chief. When I got the laptop back to its owner, a virus checker will be up and active. I am a fairly advanced user so that I can get without it if I'm only hitting servers of Ms.

    Owner of the laptop is going to be behind a hardware router wireless surfing, although I go to the firewall as an extra precaution.
    Everything is up-to-date. There is no more patches. IE 9 is good to go. I don't understand how IE is critical to the security of Windows. I want that the owner of the laptop to use Chrome, because frankly it's faster and better than IE for the web standard handles.
    Have a good weekend.
  • Windows Update fails, "returning changes" hangs forever

    I seem to have bricked just computer from a friend, unless someone has an idea what to do.  This morning, I got it innocently install 108 updates.  Towards the end of this afternoon she called me to say that the computer had asked to be restarted to complete the update, and it did.  When it restarted, he began the configuration, and then failed.  He said it was back of changes, only not to turn it off and then just hung there for 5 hours.  I came to watch once again, rebooted, it (Yes, I thought was not any returning at this point), I tried booting in safe mode, but it's always the same thing - try to install an update, fails and says that this recovery changes everything as before and then it just hangs.

    I tried the system restore on three different restore points, which always goes down with a 0x800700b7 error code.  I can reboot into safe mode command prompt, but then what to do?  The computer does not restart normally.  I looked at a few threads here, but everything seems to be doing an update failed to succeed - in Windows.  I can't get into Windows.  I can't do anything but try the safe mode or watch the blue screen that says that it is.  Please - what can I do?  Other than reinstall Windows and start over (and she needs to be able to save about 400 GB of files before I can do it - so I don't want to do).  Thanks for any help you can provide

    Software don't not brick a PC.  At worst, you need to back up files, run of the mill recovery or make the superior Clean reinstall Windows 7 that if it has not been done before would be a big improvement since it seems that the OS is corrupt anyway.

    In Safe Mode, type services.msc in start search, disable the Windows Update agent.  Make it work for a while with a few reboots, then turn it back on and set to Windows Update "Check for Updates but let me decide which install."  Install the updates in small groups and if necessary use the Restore Point it creates.

    I think due to problems with the restoration of the system which should be the net of security here, I would first run the scans of the infection, SFC and if necessary a repair of steps in troubleshooting for Windows 7 installation to check during the installation.

    Thanks Paolo. I have reviewed the case and appreciate the abstract.

    Do you already have the Traceroute report for swupdl.adobe.com results you provided ISP, Eircom?  I would agree that same your own tests, it seems to be tied to your ISP.  They should be able to take your traceroute results and report any irregularity to the hosted servers.

    As an alternative, you can try using another reliable DNS server.  He can't help if there is a lack of infrastructure, but it is the test only replacing, I can think of if you are unable to change your Internet Service provider.

    I did a quick search on our data on the case before responding to this message.  I found three different people, using Eircom, who have all the failures reported in the last month update.

    We invite you to also make reference to this discussion with Eircom.

  • TB update fails and I get an error of access denied to 7 - Zip when you download a new version.

    Thunderbird was not able to update from version 24.6.0 (under Windows 7). Whenever I try to auto update, it tells me that the update fails. When I let the updater download a full version, which also fails. When I try to download a new version manually, during the extraction process, I get an error message indicating "7-Zip" up and "Access denied" in the window. I followed all the suggestions to the support download error page (as an administrator, stop the process of Thunderbird, etc.), and none of them solved the problem. Any other ideas?

    What firewall / anti-virus software you are using. My guess is that the firewall or the anti virus software blocks both the update and full installation because it contains ZIP files. I have not heard that outside the paranoid company / parameters of business in the past, but there's always a first time.

  • Firefox 31 update fails

    There is nothing different, but FF started again and the update succeeded. This is after more than a dozen attempts.

    Automatic update fails, but gives no reason. Tried a manual update (Firefox Setup 31.0.exe) and it does not work? I tried running in administrator mode and nothing seems to happen (?) ...

    When I click on '?' (help) / about and the updated... application message continues to turn and run for a LONG time, and then prompt to restart. I do, and you receive error message that the partial update cannot be applied... He will try an update complete. It loads and executes the full update and then displays a message "update Application" without end. After several minutes of nothing happens, I x'd out and I'm still on exit 30, with the message to reboot again.

    Running Windows 8.1

    To date, Firefox continues to the failure of the upgrade to version 31. I'll try to manually disable all my Add-ons and see if that helps. Well, it did work.

    Tried running FF in "safe mode"... It also did not work.

    I noticed that when asked to "restart FF", the tabs looked a little weird... square is the only way to describe it. The upper right minimize output window icons were also "cut in half". Very weird.

    Another problem. In my download directory, I have now three executable files that I can NOT REMOVE. Says they are in use by another program. Looked at the running processes to all and do not plant anything that it is focused on running FF. Tried rebooting the PC did not run FF and still cannot delete
    The installer of Firefox 31.0.exe
    Firefox Setup Stub 31.0.exe
    Firefox_Setup_31.0.exe (this installer downloaded from cnet).

    From now I use Chrome since I don't know what is happening with FF. I'll check back every day to see if there is a solution. I have not tried to uninstall FF and then re - install. I understand that I should be able to save all my settings, so I could try in a week if I don't see a solution.

    Do not know how to 'close' my problem, so I answer to myself. Updated at 31 and next. Don't know why, but my problem was apparently solved.

  • Bootcamp update fails after El capitan (please help me alone!)

    Hello

    I think I have the same problem postedBootcamp update fails after Yosemite (please help me alone!)

    But like the other user, I'm a little scared, and I don't want to lose my Bootcamp partition.

    That's why I ask you to help for solitaire (thank you much in advance).

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro 13 "(mi-2010) at El Capitan 10.11.5."

    Then I noticed that I could not find Bootcamp.

    Regarding the other question, the score was still there, but now under the name "disk0s4".

    I used Testdisk, following the advice, and I discovered the missing partion and data (I could make a copy)

    Now, I would be sure to make the right steps to retrieve the situation.

    Here is the output of Testdisk

    The partition does highlight is the right one, here's where I found my data.

    Now, what I'm supposed to do is follow the same steps that I read in the old post with 508484288 to step 7 and + 468284272 in step 8, in this way:

    GPT4 to rebuild using start/end offsets

    1. Sudo gdisk/dev/rdisk0
    2. P (print the complete list of parts)
    3. D (delete)
    4. 4 (part 4)
    5. N (new part)
    6. 4 (part 4)
    7. 508484288 (-start offset in the sectors or the starting point for the Bootcamp part)
    8. + 468284272 (-size offset, rather than the end offset)
    9. 0700 (part of Windows type)
    10. P (list of all parties just to see what changes will be)
    11. W (Write the new GPT)
    12. Y (Yes! really write the new GPT)

    And then I need to rebuild the MBR (as the old post)

    1. Sudo gdisk/dev/rdisk0
    2. P (print from parts list)
    3. R (Recover)
    4. O (current MBR hybrid in block letters)
    5. H (chooses hybrid)
    6. Partitioning numbers be hybridized: 2 3 4
    7. Y (good for the GRUB question)
    8. (Indicator boot part 2) N
    9. N (part 3-flag of boot)
    10. Y (boot indicator part 4 make the bootable NTFS partition)
    11. O (current MBR hybrid in block letters)
    12. W (Write new MBR)
    13. Y (yes! write the new MBR)
    14. Reset

    I'm sure I'm in the right direction, but...

    Many thanks for any help

    Excellent work. The two sets of Gdisk steps are correct. If you are on El Capitan, these two sets of measures Gdisk will fail because of the Protection of the integrity of system being activated. Please disable SIP.

    1. boot in local restoration (command-R).

    2. start utility-> Terminal.

    3. type csrutil disable in the Terminal, and then press enter/return.

    4. type csrutil State.

    5 start normally, then type csrutil status to confirm that all of the individual entries are still disabled.

  • How to pass a message to update failed

    For some time, Firefox was unable to update in the background and gave messages to update failed (specific) every time the updates came. I solved this by downloading the full installation file and do a manual update.

    This time, I also had a message that failed (apparently incorrect) update, after a manual update, then again after a reboot, then again after an uninstall and reinstall, even if the troubleshooting information page shows that I am under v22.0 (see details below).

    It sounds like an obscure registry problem, but if the message is correct, how to fix it. If this is not the case, turn off?

    The browser is Firefox v22 (updated to v21) and I am running Windows 7 Professional.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!
