Administrator DKT27 Posted July 19, 2010 Administrator Share Posted July 19, 2010 Recently. I'm facing quite a few problems in my router and I feel I should try updating it's firmware before I sent it to repair. The router is D-Link GLB 802C. I've downloaded the firmware from the site. Here are the router's images. I'm planning to do a local image upload. Now the firmware download is rar and it contains a folder named Firmware (20080417), inside the folder there are 2 files TEImage.bin and TEPatch.bin. There aint any guide on how to do it and what files to select from it, whole folder or any of the two files.If you guys can help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
implague Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 There probably an option screen in it to add the firmware, then it'll load it. Then you'll have to reboot the modem, so it updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yup, it's local image upload, the help section says it should either TEImage.bin or TEPatch.bin but I can't decide which, both are of different size, one is 1.75MB and another one is 1.51MB.

mara- Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Why don't you contact the D-Link support? They should provide you with correct instructions.Cheers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted July 20, 2010 Well, I'm facing a real weird issue. All the router's light start-up, including the USB light, and all of them stop blinking. Hence have to restart it every couple of hours. I know it's known to overheat and cause problems but any other router didn't fit into my budget so can't help it. I think I'll send it to repair (D-Link guys repair it in mins). But I wanna try updating the firmware before I do that.Do you have any idea, what to select? TEImage.bin or TEPatch.bin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted July 20, 2010 Do you have any idea, what to select? TEImage.bin or TEPatch.bin?Honestly no, but I can experiment first on my D-Link DSL 502T.Is this what you want to try?Nope. That's remote update. There's a tab next to it called local image upload. It shows a browse and a upload button. Does DSL 502T have an firmware update? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*dcs18 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Ok, I copy that . . . . . . . The DSL 502T has an update - not for the Indian release, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted July 20, 2010 Pic for Local Image Upload.And here's what the help section in the router says:If your ISP offers the ability to download and install an image directly from their site, Insert the media containing the file in your PC's CD-ROM/disk drive. You can access the file from there or copy it to your hard drive or to any shared network drive. The name of the upgrade file must be either TEImage*.bin or TEPatch*.bin, where * represents any number of characters. If the Local Image Upgrade page is not already displaying, click the Admin tab, then click Local Image Upgrade in the task bar. In the Upgrade File text box, type the path and file name of the file as provided by your ISP. You can click Browse... to search for it on your hard drive or network file system. The name of the upgrade file must be either TEImage*.bin or TEPatch*.bin, where * represents any of additional characters, up to a total filename length of 256 characters. Select the file, and then click Upload. The following message box displays at the bottom of the page: Loading New Software Please do not interrupt the upgrade process. A status page will appear automatically when loading is completed (about 1 minute). When loading is complete, the following message displays (the file name may differ): File: TEImage.bin successfully saved to flash. Please reboot for the new image to take effect. Turn power to the unit off, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again. The new software will now be in effect. If the new software is not working properly, contact your ISP for troubleshooting assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Owl Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Filename Description TEImage.bin Entire binary image. TEPatch.bin Compressed file containing patch code representing one or more of the code blocks (for example, the DSL firmware and application code blocks). You can use TEPatch.bin to upgrade several blocks at a time, without overwriting all blocks. See the Image Handling User’s Manual for more information about the content of TEPatch.bin and how to modify it to create the desired patch file.Source: SL-300G TEimage.bin (post 27th Mar 06:44AM)The difference between TEImage.bin and TEPatch. bin is described on pages 21-23 of this manual:»corz.org/public/docs/comms/route···uide.pdfTEImage.bin Entire binary image.TEPatch.bin Compressed file containing patch code representing one or more of the code blocks (for example, the DSL firmware and application code blocks).

*dcs18 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah right, my research matches your 'help' instructions.I found a 'User Manual' that is similar to your router's. You could go through section 4.5.Site: http://www.multiupload.comCode: /IOX2GYTZ4Hedit:@ Night Owl:lol: That's precisely what's mentioned u/s 4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hmm. I think I'll go with the patch image then. But not now. After a few hours. I'll notify you guys when done. If I don't come online for 2 days. You know why. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Owl Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 edit:@ Night Owl:lol: That's precisely what's mentioned u/s 4.5Holy frijole, we found the same user manual at pretty well the same time. Too funny. :lol:But still, I was first. :D :tease: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted July 20, 2010 Done. :thumbsup:Installed the patch. Took 20 seconds or less to upload. Then it said something like is flashed and loaded into memory, please restart the modem to take effect. Restarted and everything seems fine. Though I don't see any changes. :PAll the custom changes are intact.Thanks for the help guys. ;)I'll monitor and see if the problems are solved.
