redsquare: updated zune . soft (player firmware ) ver. 4.5 (114) elias 32 gb (zune hd). zune software version in another redsquare : 4.8.2345.0 (zune player pc win running soft ( firmware update and sync capable )

Just wanted to add my gratitude for this post and your awesome help!

I found an almost new Zune HD, like still in the box maybe used 2 or 3 times, and was bummed that I couldn't update it. Through some research I found your post and it worked like a charm!

Can't say how nice it is to have a new Zune in hand after 6 years!

Thanks again.

glad to hear it dude. if ya know anybody with firm issue just past the torch of knowledge . saludos desde puebla, mex ;D (hello from puebla )

I am sorry if I seem to destroy your post, but I think I need to inform you all in case you guys have difficulties. Check on this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Zune/comments/4djt89/psa\_the\_zune\_firmwares\_are\_able\_to\_be\_installed/

To be honest, it is easier to understand the steps. 

Read carefully the first post on top by jazzfan80.

Then download the file from onedrive (mentioned there)

And skipped no 1,2,4,6. You have to do step 5,7.

For step no.5: check on this https://s14.postimg.org/m6zyk7ntt/Capture.png

For step no.7: don't forget to run notepad as administrator by pressing right click>run as administrator (by doing this you can do the step 7)

It works on me. Hopefully you guys can restore your lovely Zune as well.

Thanks francicso !

lololololololoololololol you made me laugh dude. you guys ussually dont read all post pages. in page 10 its a rar and a youtube video avaliable to look how to restore zune firmware. thanks anyway .
