Video tutorial on how to update the OCZ Vertex 4 Firmware to the latest version. Having issues? Click here ▶.
I know this is an extremely long video but think of it more like a video blog than a tutorial. I would say that this video addresses three different issues.

I have opened it up and checked the console out. I had got: CLI> PINRST* ROM 106 Mar FW_ SRC 0 SHA PASS!* EEPROM 207 Jan Build Server: FW_ Common_ Critical_ Fixes: P1_ EEPROM_2_0_7_drop Hynix Timing EPch* Patch Apr Build Server: P1_3_6_1_ MP4_ Patch1_20110408: P1_3_6_1_ MP4_ Patch1_ Hynix Timing EPch RCPch SAK0+ Fmgr And then a lot of binary stuff at 115200. No it does not changes the baud but outputs binary stuff ( I have checked it with my Saleae logic analyzer with autobaud). The board itself did not shown any errors. Then I have removed the SPI ( ATH052 2 ECL written to it) flash and the console out changed: CLI> PINRST* ROM 106 Mar Patch Apr Build Server: P1_3_6_1_ MP4_ Patch1_20110408: P1_3_6_1_ MP4_ Patch1_ RCPch SAK0+ Fmgr Failed to read EPA=200800 C0, using Byte Lane Mask=2, Byte Lane Table[0]=1 Failed to read EPA=200800 C0, using Byte Lane Mask=4, Byte Lane Table[1]=2 Failed to read EPA=200800 C0, using Byte Lane Mask=1, Byte Lane Table[2]=0 Failed to read EPA=200800 C0, using Byte Lane Mask=8, Byte Lane Table[3]=3 RCPch SHIsysclk 150 MHz JTAG En 0 Link.up And the SSD got recognized as a 25 GB drive The OCZ offers firmware update for their drive, but it does not works until it detects the drive. According to the screenshots available on the web it offers BIOS and Firmware update for the drive. Does anyone have the similar drive? Logged I had two of them die in about 6 months. They were replaced with different models. There is a reason OCZ went bankrupt and I am pretty sure it was the high RMA rate. I have no idea if they are repairable. Logged You can try this trick: solder the flash back, but short.
