    What about Zune 30GB? (Generation 1, Model 1089)

    This seems to be for Zune HD.

    Thank you so much for putting this.  I recently bought a Zune HD off ebay, and unfortunately bricked when I did a hard reset.  Your method was so easy...fortunately had an old Win7 latop lying around.  All I had to do was download the firmware and run the install, when I connected the Zune and ran the software, it updated the Zune.  It now syncs with the Zune software v4.8 on my Win10 laptop too.  Thanks again.
