Ricoh Firmware Update Tool!! Oh wait, it doesn't work.

I have terrible experience updating firmware on a mpcxxx3 serie!

The only trouble I ever had with them was trying to keep up with the frequency of update releases. Often 2 or 3 a day and 4 or 5 days a week.Especially in the first 6 months.

Are you positive that the C3503 does not contain Custom Firmware? There are a lot of industry specific customizes firmware modules. The only way to know is to print the installed firmware list and compare it to the latest firmware history.

Giusto!...it is usually understood because they have a "strange" nomenclature than usual

Can I ask 1 question?
If the software version of the machine is the latest, will the old software card be recognized when the machine is inserted? I tried updating via WIM but nothing happened. When using SDCard, the machine also says E34.

It usually should recognize it even if the FW is older, perhaps the SD card has not been prepared or handled correctly. I think you know that the files for WIM and SD card method aren't the same?

Yes, I changed the file extension to .rfu and ran it with WIM. On the card, I put the .fwu extension.
Can I run a custom firmware for system/copy with another model firmware? Thanks you

You renamed the file? That won't work. I don't really understand the question, you can't generally use a FW that's released for Model "X" and istall it in model "Y".

You are WAY out of your element here, otherwise you would know that this is all RIDICULOUS!
3 words: Call a tech!

.....Otherwise you are going to be the proud owner of an electronic brick within a day!

thanks you! Because I don't know where to find the .rfu file. Right now I only have the fwu file but I can't load it on the SDCard. So those 2 files are different rather than just renaming?

YES. And so is the process.
Start a new thread!
Tell us why you are trying to roll back the firmware in the first place?
Tell the specific model you are referring to, and what 'issue' you're actually trying to resolve. Chances are it has NOTHING to do with firmware in the first place.
