Ricoh Kyocera Firmware Multiple Zip-File Extraction

[NeoMatrix]

For those doing multiple Firmware updates for Windows 7 machines.

If anybody is interested I have written a simple unzip.bat batch file program that runs from either a windows run (cmd.exe) or a shortcut link off the desktop. It extracts multiple firmware *.zip or *.exe file out to SD or CF cards.

In the case of Ricoh for example, you manually download all 20-30 firmware files off the Ricoh firmware server and then extract all these files one-by-one onto the root directory romdata on the SD card. This little batch file does the extraction in one process. Best part is this bat file only extract the Ricoh(*.fwu) or Kyocera (*.Bin) from both the *.zip and *.exe archive. It disregards all the readme.txt and PDF docfiles that are not needed in the firmware upgrade. It then creates a directory on the SD/CF card call romdata(Ricoh) and extracts the filespec only to the SD card. Quick and easy for those of us in a hurry....

You'll need the command line extractor Zip-7 (7za.exe) Free download of the net.

All the command line parameters an software switches have been done for you, just run the app and type in either Ricoh or Kyocera plus a drive and/or path.
Ricoh Example : unzip ricoh j:\ { SD automatic defaults to j:\romdata\
Kyocera Exmple : unzip kyocera h:\ {CF directory created h:\ }

Both Ricoh and Kyocera run from the same batch file program. It's not bullet proof but it will save you loads of time on the fly....

Let me know if any one wants it; I will post it on the forum....

P.S. The batch file is not an EXE it's just an ordinary text file, so don't worry about viruses or hacking. You can edit the batch file yourself to suite your own preferences....

Nice job NEO, however here in the states we can do the batch download and extraction from the Ricoh esource web site already.

i'm still interested by the neo's solution...

I am too, I'm not knockin NEO at all. I give him props for doing it and being willing to share it with the consortium!!!!!!!!!!! I just wanted to share with him that Ricoh esource has that capability.

For Ricoh firmwares: Select all the firmware executable files, right click, 7-Zip, Extract files..., set Path mode to No pathnames, then extract.

Don't worry about overwritting. In the output folder all the firmware files are readily available.

For mass downloading, I just open each firmware in a new tab with middle-click, takes two seconds.

Righto guys ....
Sorry for the slow reply; it is the festive season and we've been doing some holiday camping out.
I will find the UNZIP.BAT source code and post it here for others to use. Bare with me as I have been loaning USB sticks out to people an I feel the code may not be ready at hand.

I can't find my lastest Unzip batch version 2.1 so here is version 2.0.
See the attached *.zip file on this this thread.
Just make sure the you place 7za.exe in a system file directory so windows can find it.

Decompress the attached Unzip Bat.zip anywhere you wish.

[Firmware Unzip23.bat version 2.3]

General update to version 2.2
For those people who have request the use of this batch file.
The following is a version update from 2.1 to 2.3
The current batch file is used the same as all other versions.

In version 2.3 there have been some minor error handling changes, along with additional output for user feed back;otherwise the *.bat file is just the same.

If you cut and paste the below snip text to a *.bat, file you will need to repair the menu spacing * * lines in
the menu block. CTN automatically removes those duplicate spaces causing the * * indentation.
You must also place any line wrapped text back to the previous single line.
