[adriansto]

hello! i copied the files from another machine, i didnt format anything active disk image have an option to do it! thanks for the reply! im kinda stuck now

This method works if the donor machine was at the same software level as the machine you want to to put it into operation.
If not, then you must use special altboot software with original files.

What mean rewrite sd card and hdd? Did you format the hdd? Did you used original files for C8030 or files copied from another machine?

Swup files at root. Try to reimage sd card, format hdd, and altboot machine

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the SWUP files should be inside the ALBTOOT directory.

Thanks, I will try.

Hello,

I have a xerox wc6655i but asks for service plan.
Is there anyone who can help me with activation software

[katapablo]

I dont know what it can be. The service manual say the next step is to replace SBC pwb. I think one of the electronic boards have problem. Sometime IIT pwb make trouble. Download the service manual from net try to enter service mode if you can and search for machine error

Thank you so much for your time, regards!

Too many files there. On altboot folder you must have software dlm file = 464MB , FORCED_UPGRADE and DISABLE_DATA_BACKUP.
Nothing else on altboot folder, noting on root of the usb stick. Try also usb port on the rear of the machine if the front one do not works.
If this forced upgrade procedure do not works then the two swup file on the root of the usb stick and on altboot folder the files from forced upgrade.
this mean special procedure.ltboot.

Try to replace the 2 pieces dimm memory then the manual says to reload software and if that not works must replace the motherboard electronic board.

We change it for the machine that works, and the machine dont start, and cant update the firmware also, do the same with the initial dimm memorries.
Also, I'm trying to update the firmware but doesnt work, attaching pictures:
