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 all,

I've tried to recreate this, but haven't had any luck.

Our FUT uses the serial number of the drive as part of the logic to determine if a FW update is needed.

Could a couple of you folks reporting that the FUT says no update is needed please post your serial numbers? You may have get it from the label on the drive itself (listed as ISN).

Feel free to send me a private message if you don't want to post the serial number publicly.

Thanks.

Do any of you have the previous version of the FUT downloaded (version 2.0.6)? If so, could you try running it? I would like to know if correctly identifies your drives and shows the serial number.

I can make the file available on our FTP site if you are willing to test it.

Thanks again.

In my case the drive is well hidden in the Macbook Pro, so I rather not open it again to check the serial.

But I'm very willing to try an earlier version of the FUT - don't have it, so please make it available and I'll check!

Thanks for looking into this!

I've uploaded the 2.06 version of the Firmware Update Tool to our FTP site. Here's the link:

ftp://ftp.intel.com/Pub/Support/files/Outgoing/ ftp://ftp.intel.com/Pub/Support/files/Outgoing/issdfut_2.0.6.iso

Let me know if this version of the tool identifies the drive correctly. I don't expect to show that an update is needed.

Thanks.
