USB Mode not on my Settings Menu: Do I need a firmware update?
1284711
Turn on your player, then enable the "Hold" switch so it shows orange. Now hold down the "Rewind" control on the control wheel, like you were going to go back to the beginning of a song. Keep holding down the Rewind control while you connect your player to the USB port on your computer. You should get two messages about new disk drives - once both messages have appeared, you can release the Rewind control. You have to do this every time you want to connect the player in MSC mode, so you might want to print out these instructions for future reference. Sandisk's support appears to be blissfully unaware of this procedure, since I found it in their forum rather than on the support site itself.

Thanks for the info. Guess i have to wait for the newer firmware version. Since I purchase on Amazon, i assume i would have to work it through Samsung if i bricked it. P.S. Funny enough, when I first received the unit, i tried to do a firware upgrade and it said that none were available. It should have been, so maybe i was lucky it didn't work.

The firmware is not on drives but on the controller. What matters is the type drive you need for that controller.

Yes, you need download additional soft from HighPoint.Also you can make it bootable - for that you need firmware update.

Good question... Once I installed it I updated the firmware and I do not remember the firmware it shipped with. Chances are it is not the latest as I had the choice to update it out of the box...

Check for updated drivers for the USB... might have to call Belkin for updated software/drivers ... I know... I know... it's usb... should have the drivers installed right / backward compatible?? Might want to try to update the hub as well... When I bought mine years ago.. it had already been outdated by the standards of that day. I now use a wireless router with the USB ports built in... So MUCH BETTER! ... and you can network the item.. instead of waiting on the item to wake up from sleep mode....

Thanks Dean, the drive was working so the format is probably OK. When you plug in the USB the charge light comes on but the data side is obviously not working as the drive is not recognised. You can hear the disks spinning but they are very quiet. Thanks again for your help. Regards: Brendan

While mine is current, only a month old, there are two ways to upgrade maps and firmware... there is an sd card slot and a usb slot. I think the correct process for updating maps and firmware is to use the sd card slot though. Hope that helps.. I like the unit and the gps is pretty good.

I see no way to do it. Maybe through an app of some sort. I have never updated firmware thogh

I am so sorry for the delay but yes you can try turning on USB debugging mode by going to settings, about, and clicking "build number" 5 times in a row. That will enable developer mode then go to developer mode in settings and turn on the USB debugging. If that doesn't work message me again I have a possible solution.

I have never had to update any firmware. I just load the copy and duplicate, I have never had to do that on any of my machines and I have been doing it fora long time.

Am traveling. I do not believe there is a USB port. Will check manual when I get home.

I have not tried updating the firmware recently and can't remember if I had after purchasing the drive and installing it.

I have not had the need for a firmware update, so don't know. This model has been around for several years, so it may not need an update.

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

The only time I was able to upgrade the firmware was during the initial setup,since then, I think it checks on it's on and "alerts" you an upgrade is available.Mine updated once on its own after I said it was allowed. Hope this may help you.
