WorkCentre 6515DN software upgrade failed 017-759

[qwertologe]

Current (delivered) firmware of my printer: 65.31.81.

I tried to upgrade to 65.50.61_WC6515 with fwdl5.3.6.0ww-20190524-1 from an up to date Windows 10

• using network -> error 017-759
• using USB -> error 017-759

Then i did a factory reset and tried again using USB -> error 017-759.

The good thing: The printer recovers to the old firmware.

The bad thing: The upgrade does not work and i have no idea how to fix it.

Try 65.54.21

The fault says its :

Which typically happens when you accidentally open the bin file on the PC instead of sending it to the printer as is.

What do you mean with "accidentally open the bin file on the PC instead of sending it to the printer as is"?

I didn't open the file in any way. I extracted the zip and uploaded the bin file with the update utility - as described in the documentation: "Select the “.bin” file, then select [Open].".

I don't have any further ideas but maybe some older firmware updates might help.
Unfortunately i can't find other versions for download.

Ah - Google found a direct link to 65.35.01 - i will test this version.

The upgrade with this version had no problem...

Next step: Ugrade to version 65.50.61. I downloaded and extracted it again - md5sum was the same so no failure on my side.

And the upgrade worked - same laptop, same update, same firmware.

In my opinion a direct upgrade didn't work and an additional step with firmware version 65.35.01 https://www.support.xerox.com/support/workcentre-6515/file-download/enus.html?operatingSystem=win7x6... ) was needed.
