Cannot upload new firmware for TV live

WD Legacy Products WD TV Media Player
1

Good morning to all,
I am new and I have no experience in upload firmware in the Live tv.
Now the version is: 1.16.13 (i Think it is quite old).
I have downloaded the last version and I have saved it in a USB stick. When I connect it to the box nothing happen, it seems that this version is not compatible with the new one.
Can you help me?
Maybe this version installed is too old for the new one.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

The last version is 2.03.20 for the WDTV Live Streaming Media Player

My Guide

  1. small flashdrive (2,4,8 GB) formatted FAT32 … completely empty

  2. download rollback firmware: http://download.wdc.com/wdtv/wdtvlivegen3_2.03.20.zip

  3. extract all 4 files onto the root of the flashdrive ie. No Folders

so you should only have these on the flashdrive

wdtvlivegen3.bi2
wdtvlivegen3.bin
wdtvlivegen3.fff
wdtvlivegen3.ver

  1. Before inserting the flashdrive … check the detect New Firmware setting is “On”

Setup > System > Auto Detect New Firmware > On

  1. Power off the WDTV (Press and hold Standby button for 5 seconds … switch off at the mains power)

  2. “Safely Remove” the flashdrive from your PC and insert it into the front or rear usb input on the WDTV

  3. Power On the WDTV

  4. New Firmware should now be detected “New Firmware” notification will appear in the Home Menu. Press OK … then press OK to proceed installing the new firmware

  5. wait until finished (it can take several minutes … it should not take longer than 10-15 min)

  6. It’s also recommended after a Firmware Upgrade to do a Factory Reset

Setup > System > Device Reset > Reset All Settings Back to Factory Default
