Re: Ricoh Firmware Update Tool!! Oh wait, it doesn't work.
So I found a 512mb and loaded the software. For my machine, Copying the Firmware file into the root directory, won't work, the machine ignores the SD card and just boots as normal. Using Romdata/D147/"firmware folder"/ did get the machine to recognize and go into firmware update. But it still popped a e24 error.
Then I realized that 2 generous souls had sent me a firmware file, however they were not the same. For my problem, the firmware that ends in 7587 doesn't seem to work. The File type was also ".RFU".
What does work, For my Machine, is the Zip file that ends with 7588. The file type is ".FWU".
KenB did say the 512mb may be too small for the newer IM machines, the single Firmware file that I had didn't use a quarter of the 512mb. It was only 27mb. But your firmware may be different, so plan accordingly.
After all my mistakes, and I got to the Update screen, It took a few times for the machine to respond to the Update button. It ran.
Phase 1 complete.
Phase 2 the Ricoh Firmware Update Tool
After the stock firmware was installed the Update tool status changed. and allowed for the update process.
I was able to update and now it shows as current.
Rebooted and checked the Firmware:

Thanks for all who helped.
As far as I can tell none of the other firmware files were changed.Comment

Re: Ricoh Firmware Update Tool!! Oh wait, it doesn't work.
That model machine boots up very slow, I always turn off java if it's not being used, change SP 5730 from 1 to 0.
Then the firmware update starts a lot sooner, otherwise you have to wait quite a while at the firmware screen.
It looks like the update tool did not work very well, your firmware is still old. You may need to obtain the new package firmware and then update it with a larger SD card.Comment

Re: i needed firmware for mp3050 and mp4050 smb 3 scan
Sorry, I was just being sarcastic, which sometimes doesn't translate very well with text alone.
He may have not been aware, but if he even read just the initial post entirely, one would think that would have have triggered his curiosity to PERHAPS try at least one Google search to find out about this mythical firmware update tool (sarcasm again) that was mentioned, but then, if you read some of his history, he's the type that likes to overcomplicate everything!
(like wanting to set up SMB scanning via a command prompt
), so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised
