WC7345 - Firmware required please

[Paul92]

Hi there.

We have an old Xerox WC7345, (220v, non PS, and built in) that was donated to us, and upon bringing it into service, at my work place. I thought it would be wise to do a software update. Well this turned out to be a big mistake. The copier completed the update, but upon reboot was taking to long to boot, so I pulled the plug, and restarted the copier. - Well this turned out to be a big mistake. The copier now boots, and gets into a constant bootlooping cycle. Only way to stop it, is ether to switch it off, or enter download mode, and even in Download mode, if I load firmware from the xerox website onto the copier with a USB flash drive, the loading of firmware completes successfully, however there is no improvement, the bootlooping still occurs, we have tried formatting the hard drive, that didn't work, I'm assuming I would need to find older firmware. I also have the Xerox Firmware Download Manager, as I want to try to attempt to upgrade, or downgrade from my laptop, still nothing.

If anyone has any older xerox firmware for this model, please email me at paul@vera.co.za

This will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.

Tried that, no go. Still same issue.

Thanks anyway. I have dug a little deeper, and I may need the PWS tools for this specfic model.

Hi Daan.

I have replied to your email, essentially stating that I don't have a DLM file, I only have .bin files.

Thanks for your help so far.
