Official Toshiba download site for ISO firmware CD updating

**bobgpsr** · **05-03-07, 12:23 PM**

See:

http://209.167.114.38/support/ceg/downloads/

to get current firmware ISO's for Toshiba HD DVD players. Both version 1.5 firmware for gen 2 and also version 2.2 firmware for gen 1 are here. This is from a Toshiba Canada site.

ISO's are intended to be burnt as a binary image to a CD for updating Toshiba HD DVD players that are not yet connected to the Internet via their ethernet interface.

Edit: Toshiba America now also has ISO updates: http://tacp.toshiba.com/tacpassets-i...ngfirmware.asp

Bob, this is probably a dumb question, but are there ay differences between A1s in Canada and those in the USA?

Not that I have ever heard of.

Exactly the answer I was hoping for! Thanx, Bob!...

I'm assuming this is a DVD image and therefore will require a blank DVD?

Sonnie, burn it as an image to a blank CD-R (not CD-RW). I just finished my upgrade (burn, update, clear PM, initialize, hard boot), and it worked perfectly. The actual update itself only takes about 15 min.

Hmmm...

When trying to write the .iso image to disk, I'm getting an error that states the image is not a valid .iso image.

Maybe I need to re-download it or find another program to write it.

Note that if you try to mount the ISO or read the resulting burnt CD on a PC or MAC you will not see any files. The data in it is some type of unique to the Toshiba player format.

A-ha... well I knew there was something on the CD cause I could see it burnt it, but you are so very right... it will not show up in Explorer.

I downloaded another ISO Image burner and it seems to have burned properly... we'll see if it works this weekend sometime.
