Now I've had success with G00-W4 on two of these machines. I'll later test the other usb pens again to find the mistake.

I had issue changing MFP board in a C308 the other day when trying to load firmware. Just sat on 2 shark vins and black dot for over 10 mins. Older USB stick worked though. It's crazy modern copier is still so fussy about USB memory

Windows built-in format tool no good?

That is why for years Ricoh has recommended the Panasonic SD card format utility. Cards formatted with Windows file explorer often did not work. Also with utilities like MiniTool you can change the partition size. If you have an older model that will only work with 2GB and smaller SD cards, and not all 2GB cards, you can create a 1GB partition on a 16GB or larger SD card. 1GB card are expensive, if you can find them.
I'll have to retry my memory stick after Ur suggestions and report back after weekend

I format ALL my USB pens using the Windows format tool. Never once had an issue after.
First click 'restore device defaults, check the quick format is ticked & default allocation size is selected, next click format, as simple as that.

PROBLEM:
1. Windows formatting may prevent USB thumb drive from being read correctly and will fail if used to flash firmware on 4,8 or i series
MFPs
a. Sometimes error messages dealing with Write Protection, or unreadable disk, etc may occur
b. When inserted into the machines the firmware will simply not load, or not load properly
SOLUTION:
Follow the instructions in the attached PDF to run it, fix the MBR and format the USB thumb drive cleanly.
