| Samsung SW-252F - Help with firmwares pls I have a SAMSUNG SW-252F (normal CDRW, although I'm waiting for a Plextor Premium). Recently I flashed it with the latest, R804 firmware downloaded from here. Since then I have gotten problems. Shortly, all CDs (except for CDRWs) made with that firmware are unreadable. Please note that I have ignored this warning on Samsung's site: Quote:
Now I understand (maybe). The following line reports this: Quote:
My questions are: 1. What does the warning mean exactly ? 2. Why does it say "Applied model: EXPORT" if the firmware is R801COM.bin ? (COM is for overseas exported drives) Help!!  | ||

| Re: Samsung SW-252F - Help with firmwares pls Samsung's firmware update system is quite illogical. They have posted a DVD Burner firmware as an update for a DVD-ROM drive... Using the wrong "buyer" can wreck your drive's ability to burn. You might try using other firmwares now to see if you can find one that works.

| Re: Samsung SW-252F - Help with firmwares pls At least I am sure about a thing: my next burners will never be Samsungs  Anyway I agree with you saying their F/W update system is quite illogical. For example, the RxyzCOM.bin firmware is for COM (= overseas -AND- domestic exported drives), which is different from the "Applied model: Export" firmware they say it is, which is for overseas circulation only. May a wrong firmware usage have physically damaged my drive ?  I hope not!Anyway I have the R801 COM firmware for EXP burners only. Clearly my drive isn't EXP. Now I need to find a F/W for COM or DOM (DOM = COM - EXP) drives... any useful links ? |
