[Dvdrtools-users] Problem with firmware update on hp dvd 200i

[Mathias Matthaes #3336]

Hello ,

with my HP dvd 200i I tried a firmware update with
"rpl8" , which is part of the dvd+rw-tools.

First the dump of the current firmware (1.36)  was ok :

# ./rpl8 /dev/cdrom -dump-only
"/dev/cdrom": dumping firmware image to "HP______DVD_Writer_200j_1.36.bin" ................................................................

# ls -l

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1048576 May 16 09:11 HP______DVD_Writer_200j_1.36.bin

But when I try to load again this file , rpl8 complains about the
checksum :

]# rpl8 /dev/scd0 HP______DVD_Writer_200j_1.36.bin
"HP______DVD_Writer_200j_1.36.bin" is corrupted or encrypted
 
 

What went wrong ?
Is the checksum mechanism in "rpl8" not the same
which is used by HP ?
 

And next question :
Where can I get the firmware 1.51 of HP as a pure
firmware bin file ( HP only offers exe for Windows ) ?

Thanks for any help ,

Mathias
