    Sharp MX-5141 - Firmare Update Error

    I am working on a Sharp MX-5141N that was re-branded through HP to a HP Color MFP S951n. The machines are identical through and through except for the model number and logo being changed from Sharp to HP.

    The issue I have been fighting is the firmware update process. We have been told by HP that the firmware from Sharp for the MX-5141 should work without issue. We even confirmed that the models corresponded to each other. Attempting an update through SIM 49-1 leads to a code signing error. We were then told that the firmware should be updated through the web interface. Tried that and it came back with "ERROR [3000]: Processing failed. (1A95531B:534:298)". I attempted some google-fu on the error, but all I could find was somebody suggesting it was related to to many users being logged into the machine at the same time?. The service manual was no help with regards to the error code, at least that I could find.

    I examined the firmware update bulletin HP sent to us and it listed a website to get the firmware from (which was not Sharp's site). The website doesn't appear to actually exist, but we did get the HP guy to send us a copy of the firmware. We tried updating the firmware in the machine both through SIM 49-1 and the web interface with the same results as above.

    I'm hoping someone here has either worked with these HP re-branded machines, or has seen this error before.

    As a note: This is the second of these machines that this has been an issue.

    Sharp tech here.

    First thing is first. Does it have a data security kit?

    Because if it does, it will need another type of firmware.

      Should have put that in the first post. First thing we looked for when we got the second machine. When looking at a 22-6, or in 22-10 there isn't even a security field to list what, if any, security kit it might have. According to the installation manual it takes a MX-FR42 security kit. Will try the firmware anyway later.

      EDIT: tried the security kit firmware with the same results.

        Have you tried the Emergency update procedure with the dip switch on the MFP PWB?

          Have not tried that yet as the machine is working. Sadly they delivered the machine today so I have no way of testing any ideas that come my way.
