Could anyone help me figure out how to extract the firmware file from Toshiba Solid-state Drive Firmware Update for KXG60ZNV256G / KXG60ZNV512G / KXG60ZNV1T02 | Driver Details | Dell Canada for my Toshiba XG6 1tb nvme so I can try to update the firmware using nvme cli tools? I want to be able to update the firmware as Dell releases firmware updates, but of course I got this drive on the grey market and don't have a Dell. Anyone run across this before and know how to get the firmware files extracted? On older updates from Dell I could find it, but it seems they're obfuscating it better these days.
A few details:
Here's what I did so far:
A few questions:
A few details:
- I have the KXG60ZNV1T02 with 1060.4105 firmware
- This is one of the few nvme drives officially supported by my Supermicro motherboard. I tried a different one and had problems, so went with this one from the list and it's been great so I hesitate to go a different route just for firmware updates
- I'm doing this because I'm curious and enjoy figuring things out, and of course more performance is always better so here I am...
Here's what I did so far:
- Download file
- Use 7zip to extract it since I don't have a compatible Dell computer to run it
- Initially tried running the EXE/DOS program that gets extracted from a bootable disk, but it failed
- Extract the EXE/DOS file from #3 with 7zip
- End up with a file called \Toshiba-Solid-state-Drive-Firmware-Update-for-KXG60ZNV256G_7RY97_WIN64_1060.4106_A00\XG6_nonSED_10604106_MUP\.rsrc\RCDATA\104
- Open that in HEX editor, and the header of it contains:
- "@TSBMUP@...10604106"
- This matches the firmware version and looks like it could be it, but there's a ton of padding at the end of the file so I'm worried that if I flash this it may not ONLY be the firmware but extra data that dell uses with their update utility
A few questions:
- Is that "104" file the full firmware?
- Is there a way to download my firmware file from my actual drive using nvme cli tools or something? I couldn't figure that out. If I could, I could compare the "104" file with the downloaded firmware from my actual drive!
- Am I missing anything major here?
