[fraumo]

I was usingthe file "xfvdw-sl-12-0-nwsp2-20mar2012" in the lacie-firmaware menu
and I get this message

I have version 11 instaling form zero

Firmware upgrade failed, upgrade process aborted, reason:
fw upgrade could not unpack firmware package, not a valid format

Can somebody help

Hi fraumo

Just a suggestion.
Do you note : before uploading, you must uncrompress the zip file. Then, you have to upload the bin file.

[fraumo]

I have uncompressed I am using bin file

[Jocko]

In this case, I think the zip file is corrupted.

=> try to download it again

=> I note also in the past some trouble with zip apply.
So save the zip file to fvdw share and use winrar or 7z.... to unzip it.

Ok
Checking this night
thanks

[fraumo]

download again and same message
cant do the update

[Jocko]

Hum

I propose that you make a test. Do this :

create a folder in fvdw (eg test)
copy the bin file in the folder test

open a putty console and do

Code: Select all

cd /share/1000/fvdw/test
tar -xvjpf xfvdw-sl-12-0-nwsp2-20mar2012.bin


and post us the output

[fraumo]

sorry
i dont know how to use it

[Jocko]

Ok fraumo,

See this post http://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=340#p2070

Download the putty and install it on your PC.

To get a SSH access, if you have not change the default settings, you must use this login : root and pwd : giveit2me

You can find a short help about the putty settins in this site : http://webmaster.iu.edu/tool_guide_info ... utty.shtml (of course you must change the hostname 'webserve.iu.edu' by the ip address of your NAS.

Note : when you use putty, you are a root user!! :o
So do exactly what I said in my previous post

[fraumo]

now is working
it was a newbie mistake
i was using the name xfvdw-sl-12-0-nwsp2-20mar2012,bin instead of firmware.bin
Thank for you time
