Re: Firmware Upgrade Failed

I was wrong.
I hadn't installed the bridge version before the final firmware

Re: Firmware Upgrade Failed

Hello Gabie,

Would it be possible to get the update procedure as well ? Our Xerox cannot boot after a firmware update.

Re: Firmware Upgrade Failed

I would also like to know how to force a reinstallation of the firmware.  My printer will not boot up, the screen reads 'checking file system...' for several minutes before finally ending on a screen reading 'err: booter failed!' at which point I can't do anything.

Re: Firmware Upgrade Failed

How did you resolve the error?
How did you remove the “write error” from the screen?

Re: Firmware Upgrade Failed

My printer: Xerox Versalink C405

I have a similar issue my printer was on 68.42.1 and I read the warning to download the bridge version, I did. But I believe I them loaded the wrong one onto the Embedded web server.

I then received the 041-500 code and tried to re-do the update with the correct version, which obviously didn’t work as it was keep saying it could not connect and to retry later.

I then went into a cycle of powering off the printer and then on many times to clear the screen.

The bringer would turn on but get stuck on the blue screen with the xerox logo and then hang.

Sometimes it displayed “Err: Booting failed” in the top corner (which never cleared itself until you turn off the printer) and when powering back on it said “checking file system”.
These errors only appeared one at a time.

I left the printer on overnight to see if it would clear itself after the booting error and it didn’t.

My large paperweight is now not doing anything. If turned on, it simply hangs on the blue screen with the logo and sometimes the blue line (below the power and home buttons) flashes and that’s it.

P.s. Embedded web server cannot be accessed.
I also put a dwld folder in a usb stick and an update in it but it does nothing (although I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly as I can’t find instructions on it).

I also did try to power off, remove power cable for 5 mins, replug, power on but same as always happens.

The printer is used at home not in a large office, so I believe the warranty may have run out so I’m struggling to get any support..

Is there a way to force reboot/ force restart?

Re: Firmware Upgrade Failed

Well I was quick to criticise, so praise where it's due. I called Xerox and an engineer was with me inside two hours who brought the printer back to life with no fuss.

He did say that Xerox will book a tech to come out and do software upgrades if required, so there's no need real for owners to take the risk of getting it wrong.

He also said that sometimes trying to apply the wrong firmware can be terminally fatal, so for anyone reading this, take special care – and perhaps consider whether a firmware upgrade is strictly necessary. If it isn't broken, why fix it?

Anyway, I'm delighted our new printer is working again (and my boss is even more delighted) – and as a parting thought, I suggest Xerox should as a matter of urgency edit this bizarrely complacent wording in the Versalink firmware installation instructions:

"Before upgrading to the new firmware 61.01 and higher, you must be sure the device has a version that can read the encrypted files. If you attempt to install the encrypted file on a version older than the bridge release, it will fail and you will need to power the device off and back on to recover."

Maybe it could be changed to something like:

"Before upgrading to the new firmware 61.01 and higher, you must be sure the device has a version that can read the encrypted files. If you attempt to install the encrypted file on a version older than the bridge release, it will fail and could result in permanent fatal damage to your printer. At the very least, it will require a technician to call out and recover the printer."
