When I put the firmware update files in the root directory of the SD card and power up I don't see the update message. Instead, after a few seconds, I get two beeps and then two messages appear. The first message, in yellow text, is in the top left quadrant of the camera display and it says "Script command ng" . The second message is in blue text and is in the lower left corner of the display and it says "[NG] Production Mode Fail".

The camera appears to work OK except for these persistent messages on the display. If I delete all the firmware update files from the SD card, the messages disappear from the camera display and the camera continues to function on the old firmware, v 20406d (I checked the version with Intelli-Studio). I have tried two different SD cards and downloaded the firmware update (v 20526) from two different Samsung sites with the same result. The files that I unzip (without error) are: FWUP, partialImage.o.map, WB850-FW-SR-205256.bin, wb850f_adj.txt. There is also a folder GPS_FW which contains the files: BASEBAND_FW_Flash.mbin, BASEBAND_FW_Ram.mbin, Config.BIN, flashBurner.mbin.

Any attempt to update using Intelli-Studio fails with an error message about being unable to unzip some files.

Any thoughts or ideas? I've only had the camera 2 days so I can still take it back to where I purchased it. But i would like to be sure I am doing the manual update correctly.

Thanks

Very strange, the same thing happened when intellistudio failed to unzip, and when some of the files were missing.

The MD5 checksum of the .zip I downloaded, which works, is 85642cab04ebf773fdccfce4715e6fa0, although if there was some kind of data corruption going on you would probably get some errors during extraction.
