How to reflash a router? General rules.
In this article, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the general, but nevertheless important rules for flashing routers. Why might you need to update the router firmware in general? So, you may need to install new firmware, if your router has stopped performing its functions correctly, and there are any malfunctions or irregularities in its operation. Often, flashing the device solves these problems.
Mobile phone firmware rules.
If you notice that your mobile phone is not working correctly and does not perform well with its functions, for example, it periodically freezes or turns off by itself, responds slowly to various commands, does not save phone numbers, has poor network reception, does not charge, etc., Most likely, the problem can be solved by reinstalling software(software) of your phone, namely updating its firmware. Also, there is another reason for flashing the phone. After all, this is how you can implement previously unused features and functions of your phone. With a software update, you can add new applications and games, ringtones, menu themes and much more. In addition, the phone's operating parameters are improved, for example, regarding signal reception or battery life.
What are firmwares and what are they for?
Firmware is embedded software, a special firmware required for peripheral devices computer (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.), mobile phones, game consoles, cameras, televisions and other equipment. Firmware for these or any other devices means approximately the same thing as operating system for computer.
We present a new project separate from PrintHelp.
Epson printer firmware service for chipless printers - ChiplessSolutions.com
This service allows you to make chipless printer models that are not supported by the PrintHelp program and for most of which there are no autochips, and therefore there is no possibility CISS installations or use of auxiliary protection. After the firmware is installed, you can install CISS and DZK.
Brief instructions:
1. Check whether your printer model is supported by the service. The list below.
2. Download the Firmware for your model (select the model and download the firmware).
3. Upload the firmware to the printer. If everything went without problems, you can buy an Activation Code.
4. Download the License.exe utility - download.
5. Buy an Activation Code - Buy an Activation Code - purchased for each device.
The Activation Code is not canceled after use. Its use with a firmware device is not limited in time or quantity. This means that if suddenly the printer is updated again from the Epson website, you can flash it back to chipless at any time.
ATTENTION: The Activation Code cannot be canceled, so before buying an Activation Code, check your printer to see if it can be flashed with chipless firmware.
In some batches of printers, a problem arises when the original firmware of the printer does not allow changes to be made and the printer goes into ROM NOT WRITABLE mode and then turns on only in RECOVERY mode MODE (in this case you need to update the printer firmware from the Official Epson website)
Checking the printer to see if it can be flashed chipless. Do not purchase an Activation Code until you have completed this check!
1. Connect the printer to computer USB cable.
2. Enter the printer into firmware update mode - Program Update Mode.
To do this, turn off the printer and within 1 minute after turning it off, press and hold a certain combination of buttons (each model has its own combination - download the instructions for your printer model from the link below) until the printer turns on and Program Update Mode appears in white on the printer monitor black background. If the message appears in red - this is not the mode you need - turn off the printer and try again.
3. Download the firmware to the printer (link below). To do this, run the EPFWUPD.exe application and follow all the bootloader prompts and wait until the firmware is completely downloaded into the printer. After this, the message “Finished” will appear on the printer monitor.
4. Turn off the printer by pressing the ON/OFF button (for different models printers have different buttons to exit the mode - they can be OK or 0 or OFF - see the instructions for your model).
After 10 seconds, turn on the printer.
ATTENTION! If the firmware loaded normally and the printer rebooted and returned to its normal mode, then this printer is suitable for converting it into a chipless one. You can safely buy the Activation Code and follow the instructions for specific model printer.
If the firmware is not loaded, freezes, or the message ROM NOT WRITABLE is displayed and the printer does not return to operating mode after rebooting, this printer cannot be flashed into a chipless printer - you DO NOT NEED to buy an Activation Code for it! The Activation Code cannot be canceled or returned!
Generating a license for the printer.
Run the License.exe application
Select the printer you need from the list (if desired printer is not displayed - try changing the port or USB cable)
Click the Activate online button and enter the Activation Code
After the license generation is completed, reboot the printer
After rebooting, your printer will work with the ink cartridge level monitoring system disabled.
The printer will no longer be blocked due to the “running out” of ink in the cartridge.
There will be no need to reset chips anymore.
If the printer was somehow miraculously updated from the Epson server again, no problem. Your license is activated and works for a specific printer without a time limit.
Therefore, keep records of what serial number corresponds to which printer.

ADJ programs EPSON have several functions directly related to EEPROM information, incl. EEPROM Data Copy and Save All EEPROM Data (Sometimes the name of this function sounds different, but the essence does not change). So, the first one allows you to save and then load the variable data of this memory into the EEPROM again. AND THIS is the specific settings of a particular printer, including (not always, but often) both the model and DESTINATION (region intended for use). The second one only allows you to save the ENTIRE contents of the EEPROM to a file (as they write in the CM - for analysis). In some SMs, especially for older devices, maps of the contents of the EEPROM are provided; those who wish can familiarize themselves with what is stored in the EEPROM...
When Epson's EEPROM was made on flash drives of the 93XX series, troubles with the EEPROM (including resetting the diaper, by the way... or if the chip itself failed and was replaced with a new one) could be solved by flashing the flash drive on a simple programmer with the contents of the EEPROM, removed from the working device. (Example: http://www.resetters...showtopic=11254)...
As for the language of display messages, the fonts of all possible languages of the “clones” of the device, IMHO, are hardwired into the ROM of the electronics board, but the availability of certain fonts depends on the DESTINATION installed in the EEPROM. And if DESTINATION is for Asia, then English and hieroglyphs will be available. And here it should be noted that some functions of the ADJ program change not only the data in the EEPROM for which they are intended to change, but also register there the printer model and DESTINATION set when setting up the program. Including the diaper reset function!!!
With the mentioned R340, the issue is resolved simply - the ADJ program prompts you to select both the model and the region upon startup. It is enough to specify the EURO region - and the Russian language will appear in the menu (if it is in the ROM).
But with the R390 it’s more complicated - the ADJ program for it, as for most printers of the latest models, is configured for the model and DESTINATION when it is issued to a specific service center, and you and I will not be able to change this setting. Well, since the available ADJ programs are on latest models Epsons are entirely NOT FROM OUR region, so...
Either bring it to the service center... I assure you, ADJ programs are available to any Epson service center... Or, as Zheka_Toner suggests, EEPROM Data Copy from a device in our region... Most likely, it will work.
P.S. As for the bios on the Epson R390, what is posted here under this name is the full contents of the EEPROM, which obviously has nothing to do with the base input output system... In this sense, bios on Epson = a non-existent term.
P.P.S. Well, for general development: what else, besides EEPROM, can you flash in Epson.
There are service programs for upgrading the microprogram control of the controller. Naturally, so do the corresponding firmware updates for the firmware. Those. ROM, generally speaking, can also be “modified”.
Using the special IPL Sender utility, we sew the FirmWare firmware file with the .dat extension into the printer’s brain.
By the way, the very first copies Epson Stylus Photo 1410 in the firmware had a bug in resetting the diaper. That is why the corrected versions of the ADJ program on the subject checked the firmware version and required an upgrade of the buggy version when trying to reset the pump. What's even funnier is that the very first StPh 1410 had a non-flashing ROM chip. Just imagine...

Firmware downgrade Epson program PrintHelp -
The additional raster for the letters was drawn by Epson. At the same time, all calibrations and tests seemed to pass normally.
And it happens something like this -
I don’t know how to win - calibrations don’t help :(
Now it’s also a service one. Before that - EpsonStatusMonitor. It all started before the endless calibrations. It all started after the printer jammed the paper - I forgot to pull out the tray. Up until this point I was typing just perfect. Moreover, it chewed to such an extent that the paper tore in one place. Immediately after this, these additional stripes (barely noticeable, though) began to appear on fonts and thin lines, and strictly in one place on the sheet - http://air-883-photo...to/Print_07.jpg. And after that, the printer did nothing but print out calibration tests. First as C65, and now as C63. The stripes are almost invisible, but they are there and, frankly speaking, it’s annoying. I don’t want to take it to a service center, otherwise they’ll replace the heads with barely alive ones B) . I can’t figure out what to do :(. Calibrations don’t help.
Once again, check the head voltage (when you remove the cartridges, you will see a small sticker with letters and numbers, this is the encoded voltage). Sometimes such miracles happen! It’s hard to understand from your scan what and how! Better scan at high resolution and post a small piece. FFF - I understand you drew it yourself.
And if the “voltage” of the head is different from the required one, what should you do then?
And how do you know “what voltage is correct”?
Or maybe everything is simpler? And is there a problem with the sheet positioning sensor?
This means: the paper got chewed... the sheet turned into an “accordion” and hit the sensor with force.
And now the sensor is lying.
Yura.
I'll post the scan this evening because... There is no scanner, you will have to go to a friend. And as for the stripes, I also had the idea that it was a matter of positioning the heads because... The lines (a trail of lines) of the letters are absolutely an additional (extra) raster - they have the same thickness, length and distance between themselves. Moreover, the lines are drawn precisely in the direction of movement of the carriage. The impression is that either the heads themselves receive the driver command, or something is wrong with the sheet during the printing process. I wiped the tape with marks, but to no avail. And where, if it’s not a secret, is the sheet positioning sensor? And what can you do with it?
If the voltage differs from the required one, the conclusion suggests itself - flash the required one! On each Epson head there are markings, several letters and numbers, this is it! In the service program (for new printers such as 63 - 86, etc.) there are tips on where to see and how to enter the head id.
I think the sensor is not to blame here; it approximately determines the boundaries of the sheet and its presence.
Do you try to print something in draft quality and see if there will be an additional raster? It appears when printing occurs in two or more passes of the head, in one direction and in the opposite direction! This is calibration! Moreover, you experimented with the firmware.
The thing is that the raster appeared_before_flashing_first on the C64, and then on the C63. So the voltage supplied to the heads has nothing to do with it. All my further fuss with calibrations from under the service program (which ended with the fact that I now have a C63:P) just began_after_the printer chewed the sheet and I discovered additional lines - if you don’t look closely at them, it looks like a barely noticeable grease (loop ), if you take a closer look, you can clearly see that it is the heads who are drawing extra strokes. Something is wrong here, it’s just not clear. Of course, I need to do a scan, otherwise I understand that it’s a bit difficult. It’s difficult to determine which carriage passage the additional lines appear on, but I’ll try. They appear at any quality settings - from “draft” to “best photo”. Overall, I’m happy with the printer. What the service program writes about the head ID is 543F4A51HY.
Every equipment manufacturer wants to make money on their products. Manufacturers of printing equipment are no exception. It is possible to earn money on printers and MFPs by increasing the price of the printers or MFPs themselves, or Consumables(cartridges, photo paper, ink, print heads...). Epson has a higher price for printers and MFPs, and a lower price for consumables compared to other manufacturers (Canon, HP, Brother) since Epson wants to make money by selling printers, and not by selling consumables, the same with printers Epson is better and is cheaper to maintain during the printing process both on originals and on compatible consumables.
Printing on compatible consumables significantly reduces the price of printing and Epson does not receive any money from this printing, since consumables are mostly produced in China, not in Epson factories. Therefore, all manufacturers struggle with the use of compatible consumables, if specialized service centers discovers the use of compatible consumables, then he has the right to refuse to repair the printers under warranty. Epson installs tracking systems on printers
for consumables that block the operation of the printer, if you have not inserted a cartridge with a chip, Canon and HP do not block the operation, you will have to change consumables, such as print heads, more often. If you bought Epson, you could immediately buy a PZK or CISS with ink and easily print. Since last year, Epson has introduced firmware updates via the Internet, firmware is released periodically every 2-3 months while the Epson Expression Home XP-313 and XP-413 MFPs are updated , updating the firmware does not provide any visible benefits, the protection is also updated, i.e. further, when printing, you will need cartridges with a newer version of the chip, respectively PZK and CISS with old version chip will not work.
The update occurs only with your consent; the printer cannot be updated automatically.
In order to update the printer, a message should appear or you yourself, through the “Printing Settings” panel, should click on the “Software Update” button, Figure 1.
Picture 1.
In a new window" Software Updater" will contact the Epson server via the Internet to search for a new latest firmware, Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Next, "Software Updater" will prompt you to choose which update you can download and install, Firmware updater - printer firmware, due to which some non-original consumables (sealed protection and CISS) may not work,
printer and scanner driver updated versions programs with which you can print a printer via a computer and various other programs for your printer, Figure 3.
Figure 3.
In the next window, in the positions where you have checked the boxes, programs are downloaded from the server to your computer, Figure 4.
Figure 4.
After the firmware has been downloaded, “Epson Firmware Updater” will open, with instructions and a warning for updating, if you turn off the printer during the firmware update process,
then you will have to take it for repairs, Figure 5.
Figure 6.
As soon as your printer has been updated, if you had a SCP or CISS, it will show that “Ink cartridges are not recognized”, Figure 7, click “OK” and the carriage goes to the cartridge replacement position.
It is very easy to determine that your printer has been updated; all of the safety seal cartridges are not detected. If at least one cartridge is detected, then the problem is not in the firmware, but in the chips slam-shut cartridges. If you have CISS, then try inserting original cartridges.
Figure 7.
If you try to remove and insert the SCP or press the CISS button, the chip will not be reset; when you press “OK”, the message will be displayed: Absent, Figure 8 and when you press “Start” the carriage with cartridges will move into the parking space
and the display will show “Ink cartridges not recognized”, Figure 7.
Figure 8.
The current solutions are as follows:
1) Change the flash memory on the printer board to a lower version using a soldering iron.
2) Install new original cartridges.
3) Install new, non-original SPDs or CISS with a chip with a newer firmware version.
4) Install the chip more new version on old PZK or CISS.
