iSSDFUT 2.0.9 Not Working?

[MBali1]

I just installed a 530 SSD in my mid-2009 MBP. It seems to be working fine. I figured I should update the firmware, but I am unable to get the Intel® SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool version 2.0.9 to work. I burned the ISO using both a Mac and a Win7 machine. In both cases it appears to burn correctly, but when I boot from either disc, I get a "no bootable device" message.

After searching the forums a bit, I tried unpacking issdfut_2.0.9.iso to check for iSSDFUT.exe, but it is not present in the ISO. Here's the contents of the ISO. I have downloaded it and unpacked it on two separate Macs and a Win7 PC and I see the same thing. I downloaded the ISO from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18363 Download Center

CONTENTS

initrd

vmlinuz

isolinux (directory)

isolinux\boot.cat

isolinux\isolinux.bin

isolinux\isolinux.cfg

licenses (directory with tons of folders with license files in them)

Is the contents of the ISO correct? Is there something else I am supposed to be doing to update the firmware for my Intel 530 SSD in my mid-2009 MBP? Thanks!

Hi Joe,

I have the same problem as GOBLUE_DAVE, I have an Intel SSD 530 180GB (engineering sample) with current firmware showing as "LA3i" and when I run the firmware toolbox on my WIndows laptop or the firmware update utility on my Mac Book Pro early 2011, I get the same message that the firmware on my SSD is up to date.

Any way to force update the firmware on SSD?

Thanks!

GVineet53, firmware updates are provided to Intel® production SSD units, since your Intel® SSD is a pre-production unit we suggest you to contact the seller for a money refund or exchange for a boxed Intel® SSD unit, that way you can have the full support and warranty provided with a boxed product.

Just installed a 530 SSD in my early 2009 iMac. Firmware is DC02 and I'm unable to update it using issdfut 2.0.9. I successfully made a bootable CD but when the application is started I'm not able to install DC32 which I thought was the latest version?

I have the exact same problem with my MacbookPro (version 5,3) - same screen as you see with 0GB, missing serial and DC02. Also clicking Refresh crashes the update tool..

Nicklas any luck since then?

Intel, this sucks big time!

No, just waiting for a new firmware update I guess.
