Sony Update Question - Blu-ray Forum

Blusea · 10-31-2014, 04:10 PM

When you update firmware, do you just use the newest version, or do you need the previous version that was released before too? I'm having trouble updating my Sony BDP-S470. I tried to do it yesterday with the newest version, but it never finished. It started and then stopped.

Still haven't been able to watch DOFP

The latest firmware will contain all previous firmware releases.

Are you installing the new firmware via downloaded file or via network connection to Sony servers?

Through a downloaded file. On the Sony site, they have both 2011 and 2013 updates. I just did the 2013. When it updates, it was suppose to go through steps 0-9. I only got to step 1 or 2. I called the customer service, but they couldn't figure it out either and said to look around on their website.

Did you receive an error message? If so, what was the message or error code. Did you download the correct version? There appears to be two versions of the firmware for each release; a M03.R.xxx and a M04.R.xxx version.

If you have trouble with downloading. You can pay around $6 to have them send you a disc. You can also try connecting on the wire.

I might do that. Still might have a problem because the system thinks it has been upgraded. The player says it's running the newer M04 version.

Thanks everyone for all the help!

No error code, it actually started running normally, just didn't go through the whole process. Looked like the player shut itself off. I got the M03 version because that was the one for my system. The weird thing is when I check my current firmware version, it says M04 (it used to say M03), so it started to install. I tried doing the same upgrade again, but now it doesn't start upgrading at all.

It sounds like the upgrade may have installed. What is the full firmware version? i.e. the numbers were the x's are (M04.R.xxx)

Blusea · 11-01-2014, 01:35 PM

I think the numbers were M04.R.491 which suggests it did install, but the instructions says its suppose to take 30 mins and read "FINISH." When I did it, it stopped after about two minutes and didn't say finish or anything.

I tried playing DOFP again, but it still can't play.
