The Firmware Page

Hello Chef i dont want to be a problem i just dont have the tech logic for messing around with terminal a command lines im really doing my best with the little english that i have. If im going to represent a problem please let me know and i will stop posting.

Liggy Thank you very much with your help so far i went on trying varoius command lines with -I the problema is that i dont know exclaty the order for this i tried:

/Users/LJLT/Desktop/flash -I
-bash: /Users/LJLT/Desktop/flash: is a directory

/Users/LJLT/Desktop/flash/necflash -flash 3ahf_rpc1.bin -i

And neither of they give me anything. That why im asking you for the complete command line because i dont know/understand what im doing wrong. Please if you can assit me direclty outside the forum plese give some email or somthing. I will donate some $ if necesarry but i dont want to loose the burner in my imac. Please i dont have the kin of money nor tech expertise to change it for a new one

Man, a simple command you have to enter were given at least twice.

Enter it and post the output here.

If you dopnt know what you are doing then don't mess with the flasher and your drive, simple as is!!

This is what i got with command -I

Leon-Lacourts-iMac:~ LJLT$ /Users/LJLT/Desktop/flash -i-bash: /Users/LJLT/Desktop/flash: is a directory

What do you get from "ls -l" ???

-bash: /Users/LJLT/Desktop/flash: is a directory

I think you must move both the flasher and the BIN file into the same folder, that is absolutely necessary to make it work.
Seems that you just made shortcuts and links...

Why do you enter /Users/LJLT/Desktop/flash at all? just type ls -l and hit the enter key. Nothing more, nothing less.

Liggy this is waht i got if i just put the command

Leon-Lacourts-iMac:~ LJLT$ Is -I
-bash: Is: command not found

Chef, the BIN file and the flasher are in the same folder in my desktop

I still think there are only shortcuts left, no real files...

Next time better try copy & paste.

In both cases it should not be an uppercase i, but a lowercase L
correct: ls -l
wrong: Is -I

This is what i get


Leon-Lacourts-iMac:~ LJLT$ Is -I
-bash: Is: command not found

Sorry people my bad, thi is what i get from the command


Leon-Lacourts-iMac:~ LJLT$ ls -l

Now that would have been much easier if you had read the wiki linked many posts before.

As you can see, there is no file called "3ahf_rpc1.bin" in your current directory. How do you think that Binflash would be able to open it if it's not there?

Ready guys thank you very mucho for your help my writer continue to fail when i itend to burn DVDs, i dont if there is another solution for the problem

Probably its hidden in the "desktop" folder, but not very good idea....

No Chef i already did it put it in the correct place and got it to flash but my optiarc still continues to fail to burn dvds. Dont know what else tod o. Thank you guys for your patience

WHEN did you put them there? Read your older posts, then answer....
It seems that you also believe that firmware flashing heals everything - a tragic error!!

After liggy tellin me to put everuthng in the system folder. I did put it everything got done, i said yes to the disclaimer a and everything. I scan again and it show the optiarc with the new firm ware, but the thing stills fails, i suposed the flash wil work for that but ahhrrrg as you say tragic error. Thank you very much guys, have to live with bad optiarc

So your thoughts were wrong from the start, I think.

Not even in 1% of all cases a firmware can fix hardware issues......ever.

I've not seen one post from Liggy where he told you something about a "systemfolder"... Probably you meant "same folder".
